Freshly restored 1915 Model T Roadster.  Has all the brass and  mostly correct parts.  A rear axle housings are from  a newer "T" but I have replacement housings that will go with the car.  Has a newer carburator for better performance but I have the brass Kingston also.    Car had a full nuts and bolts restoration completed last June.  I trailered it to one show and won 1st place.  Car has been driven 2 miles since restoration. New tires, fenders, and splash aprons. NOS running boards, new seats and floor mat , plugs, rear view mirrors. Very solid original body with good wood.  Paint is base/clear with stripping.  Will start on mag or battery. Battery is in running board tool box.  Car often starts on compression.  As I mentioned there is a leak between the transmission cover and pan, I think it is because of the Aluminum cover. I have an iron cover to replace it with that will go with the car.  I wanted the original cover so I lived with the leak.  Kevlar bands, all is as it should be.  I have the complete tool kit as well.  Why am I selling?  I grew up with these cars as my Dad was an avid collector. When he past away a few years back I decided I would get one for restoration just for the memories.  I have several other classic cars and no time for the "T".  Wanted to do it as part of my "bucket list" and now time to move on.  Great little car that I want to go to a person who will use it and show it.  My reserve is quite low for this car so bid to win.

I noticed the photo showing the floor mat was taken prior to the seats and door/kick panel installation. They are new. Also. the  build date stamping is on the wood seat base.

Ford adds 850 jobs to build 2015 F-150

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

Pickup trucks tend not to advance at quite the same pace as the rest of the industry. That's what makes the new Ford F-150 so remarkable, jettisoning its old steel construction in favor of aluminum. It's a game changer that Ford is betting big on, and in anticipation of surging demand, the Blue Oval automaker is adding 850 new jobs to put the thing together.
Those 850 new employees will be centered at Ford's Rouge complex in Michigan - with 300 at Dearborn Stamping, 50 more at Dearborn Diversified and 500 at the Dearborn Truck facility, the latter of which has already kicked off what Ford describes as "the largest manufacturing transformation in decades." Old manufacturing equipment is being replaced with the latest technologies, and even the Ford Rouge Factory Tour is undergoing a complete overhaul.
The new jobs come as part of the commitments Ford made to the UAW in 2011 to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the United States by 2015 - a number which Ford has already exceeded at 14,000. Over 4,000 of those are centered in southeastern Michigan.

Project Ugly Horse: Part V

The Slippery Slope
I've had a healthy appreciation for cars that stop since one truly unfortunate incident with a runaway 1971 Lincoln Continental.
It's funny how quickly a party can turn from, "We're all having blast" to "What happened to the front of the house, and how many stitches do you think this is going to take?" Standing in a Mustang salvage shop in Kodak, Tennessee, I couldn't help but feel I had strayed into the latter territory with Ugly Horse. There was a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 plucked from a rear-ended Cobra sitting off to my left. The shelves were lined with second-hand Roush and SVT components galore, but I couldn't stop staring at a set of rotors with the approximate diameter of my chest.
