T-bucket Custom Ford Bucket T Hot Rod Fiberglass Body Roadster Top 23 1923 25 27 on 2040-cars
Mountain Home, Arkansas, United States
Truly One-of-a-Kind T-Bucket Custom Body and Custom Frame Dual-Carb 6 Cylinder and 4-Speed Note: This is NOT a 1927 model car (built within last few years), eBay insists on a year and if anything modern is entered they insist on a VIN number and I do not have that, so listed the car as a "27". Car is for local pick up only in Mountain Home, Arkansas (Baxter County). Car is sold as is where is. Vehicle is sold on a bill of sale (no title). Transportation is the responsibility of the buyer. I’m helping a friend sell this car. The car is about 10 miles from my house, so please allow time for questions to get answered. The gentleman who was building this car is a full-time professional car builder / restorer. His work is top-notch. This car is a personal project that he started and hasn’t finished. Car is mocked up and rolling, but is not wired and has never been run. Body and Chassis: Years ago there was a local company selling T-Bucket kits and the owner created a handful (less than 20) of the long T-bucket body you see in the photos. Then he purposely destroyed the mold, so there would be no more. Of the 20, only 2 are known to have been built into cars, this one and another. When the T-bucket fella offered my friend a body to build, my friend asked for, and got, the “plug” that the mold was made from. (The plug will always be stronger than the mold or the castings and this body is that plug.) The fiberglass work on this car is thick and stout—no disappointments. Whereas a normal T-bucket has a short cab and a bucket in back, this design does not use a bucket, but instead extends the cab on back. This creates a unique look and allows you to have access to the extra storage room from inside the vehicle. However, my friend did not like the look of the extended body by itself and thought it needed a top to look complete, so he hand-built the fiberglass top you see—and that is one-of-a-kind, the other known car does not have this. The top is hinged and he intended to mount assist struts off the roll bar. I think he hit a homerun with the body and top, it has a very sinister look. The top has an opening for a cloth sun roof. Fabric top that runs on rails and wads at the back type of deal. Or leave open, as is. The front cowl was made for a mini sprint car that runs a motorcycle engine and my friend extended and reworked it to fit this body. He also set the engine back into the firewall for a custom look (see photos). The chassis is handmade out of 2x3 box steel. He drilled holes (enclosed) in the frame for style. · Rear end is a Chevy S-10 with 3:73 gears. · Custom pedal set was made and hung. · Wheels are powder-coated black (he made the front wheels for this car). · Gas tank (polymer) and battery box are there. Note: The front drum brakes do not come with the car. These were given to him by his father and he is keeping them. He will install a set of disc brakes and rotors on the front before the car is picked up (see last photo of axel). Discs and caliper set is brand new, but has surface rust from years of storage. Engine and Transmission: Engine is a Ford 300 6-cyclider out of a UPS truck (they have to replace engines after a certain amount of time, regardless, and he got this one that way). He has not heard this engine run, but has no doubt it is fine. At the same time, he was able to get 2 of the one-barrel carbs the engine runs off of and built a handmade intake for them. The carb linkage is already there and fabbed up. The header is a Borla from the UPS truck (number-one quality). Transmission is an aluminum Ford 4-speed manual out of an 80’s Fairmont. (He says 4th gear is basically overdrive). Driveshaft is on the car. To Finish: Pick out and install the gauges you want, dash is not drilled, so it’s perfect for whatever you want. Wire the car; there are kits that make this very simple these days, you can specify the fuse box and options you are running. Finish mechanical details, paint, and upholster as you like. You will need to apply for a special-construction vehicle title. If you have to have a V-8, the engine and trans that are here would be good trading material. This is an awesome project car for a hobbyist or father and son. If you build this car, it will be the only one in the world.

Ford cleans up painting process with cameras
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Knowing how the bacon gets made rarely entices us and, in the same vein, the same usually goes for knowing about how new cars get painted. But in both instances, however, quality - or a lack thereof - is instantly obvious. In terms of the latter, Ford is showing off its new paint quality process with 3D Dirt Detection Technology to find imperfections in vehicle paint more easily and more quickly.
This process - being performed on the F-150 SVT Raptor above - uses 16 computer-controlled cameras to create a three-dimensional model (inset) of the vehicle to detect flaws in the paint including dirt particles, which can then be buffed out manually. Ford says this new technology cuts down on time spent looking for paint flaws and gives workers more time to correct those that are discovered.
Currently, Ford only uses its 3D Dirt Detection Technology system at three factories (the Dearborn, MI facility, along with those in Louisville, Kentucky and Valencia, Spain), but it will soon spread to five more plants in North America. Ford has released a video and press release for this innovative and unexpectedly interesting process, both of which are posted below.

Ford and 'Dirty Jobs' pitchman Mike Rowe part ways [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe has one less job as of today - the pitchman is no longer a pitchman for Ford, with yesterday's announcement from Rowe ending a seven-year partnership between the TV host and the Blue Oval.
Rowe made the announcement to political pundit Glenn Beck, saying the two are "going in different directions" and wishing Ford "every possibly success that any car company could ever have," according to The Detroit News. Rowe and Ford got together in 2005, right around the time the 51-year-old came to prominence as the host of Dirty Jobs and the narrator for Deadliest Catch, two of the Discovery Channel's most popular shows.
Take a look below for a few video snippets of Rowe's tenure at Ford.
