I'm considering selling my 1956 F100 project project. I'll try to capture all the info here I can think of, but will probably be missing some of it.

To start, it's a 1956 F100 on a 2000 Lightning chassis and drivetrain. I drove the Lightning from Mass to MI and stripped it down. The Lightning has a reman Ford engine and there is a tag on the engine verifying that. Engine and trans have about 10K miles on them and run great. Engine has a 6lb pulley, aftermarket throttle body and idler pulleys. With a good tune, it should put out around 400 hp and 500 lbs/tq at the rear wheels.

The Lightning chassis is complete, so you get all the benefit of the Lightning chassis, handling, ride quality, comfort and ABS.

The 56 is all metal and any patch work has been done in all metal. The only bondo is for smoothing and blending. All metal has been dipped or sandblasted, coated with epoxy primer and then high build primer, so it's sealed well. Custom floorboards and firewall.

All the computer and wiring harness is here, along with a SCT tuner to bypass emissions and PATS if needed. I have several other fenders and extra parts that can go with it, like aftermarket steering column, Lightning A/C, radiator, 56 grill, hardwood for the bed and I'm sure there is more.

The body is loosely bolted down and together. A lot of the hardwork has been done, but there is still a lot of work to be done.

This is a great project for someone that is interested in having a one of a kind 56 that rides and drives great and can go anywhere. The stance in the pics is basically the ride height.

If you need more detail, message me with your phone number and I will call you back. I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Ford Edge Concept previews new look, can park itself remotely

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

It turns out the image we saw back in February did, in fact, reveal the next-generation Ford Edge - at least in concept form. We still have to wait to see what the design will look like in production guise, but until then, Ford is giving us a good idea thanks to the Edge Concept being introduced at the LA Auto Show.
The new styling is an evolution of the current crossover's face with narrow headlights and a prominently slatted grille, while the rest of the design adds a more dynamic appearance with interesting body creases and horizontal taillights. We haven't gotten a look inside the Edge Concept just yet, but Ford is promising a suite of advanced driver-assist technologies including a new self-park system that allows activation from inside or outside the vehicle along with obstacle avoidance and an adaptive electric power steering system.
Ford will continue to offer an EcoBoost engine option in the upcoming Edge, and it will get active grille shutters to help maximize fuel efficiency. No word yet on when we'll be seeing the next-gen Edge in production form, but as we reported recently, it will become a global model in markets including Europe, China and South America. Ford's press release is posted below, but we'll have more information and images up later today.

J Mays' legacy

Fri, 15 Nov 2013

Mays is by far not the first designer to use heritage design cues in his work.
The announcement that J Mays will be leaving his chief creative officer role at Ford Motor Company on January 1 ends a 13-year run in one of the industry's top design roles. While best known for having a hand in reborn classics like the Volkswagen New Beetle, Ford Mustang and Thunderbird (above), Mays' legacy is more complicated and nuanced than being considered the father of what is known as "retrofuturism".
