I REMOVED THE ENGINE AND HAD IT PROFESSIONALLY REBUILT (See pics of engine coming out). WHILE THE ENGINE WAS REMOVED , I DETAILED THE ENTIRE ENGINE COMPARTMENT (see pics of firewall painting), REPLACED SEVERAL WIRING HARNESSES, NEW BATTERY TRAY, NEW BATTERY AND BATTERY HOLD DOWN, NEW BATTERY CABLES. THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS SPENT AT LARRYS, TEE-BIRD PRODUCTS, DENNIS CARPENTER, PLUS INDIVIDUAL PARTS SUPPLIERS FOR NEW ORIGINAL PARTS.  NEED PROOF, I WILL CONVEY ALL PARTS INVOICES TO THE BUYER.

THE PAINT JOB IS ABOUT 5 YEARS OLD AND IT STILL HOLDS A NICE SHINE. I RECENTLY HAD A PROFESSIONAL PAINTER TOUCH UP A FEW FLAWS IN THE PAINT. INCLUDED WITH THE CAR ARE BOTH CANS OF COMPUTERIZED MATCHED BLUE AND WHITE PAINT. BOTH VENT WINDOWS ARE ORIGINAL AND THEY HAVE DEVELOPED AIR BUBBLES, THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED. 

HEY, CHECK OUT THE ' 56 MERCURY COLOR DIVIDER STAINLESS STEEL TRIM I ADDED JUST UNDER THE FRONT AND REAR WINDOWS (see pics of painting). THIS TRIM IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE, BUT IT ADDS SUCH A NICE TOUCH TO THE '56 VICKY AS DOES THE ORIGINAL "DOG DISH" F O R D HUBCAPS AND BEAUTY RINGS. (I have two of the original full wheel Ford hubcaps) 

I ADDED NEW CORRECT OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS, NEW CORRECT ANTENNA, NEW STONE GUARDS ON THE FENDER SKIRTS, NEW TRUNK EMBLEM BEZEL, NEW "FAIRLANE" HOOD SCRIPT, NEW TRUNK MAT, (the white color on the matt is a camera shadow), CORRECT ORIGINAL SPARE TIRE RETAINER AND WING NUT, NEW HEATER CORE, THE RADIATOR WAS SENT OUT AND RESTORED, 4 NEW RADIAL WIDE WHITEWALLTIRES. THE ORIGINAL AM RADIO IS THE DESIRED "TOWN & COUNTRY STYLE. THERE IS ALSO IS AN AFTER MARKET AM/FM RADIO WITH DUAL REAR SPEAKERS GIVING THE VICKY SOME COOL TUNES.

THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS SOLID AND ABSOLUTLY NO RUST. I HAVE NOT DETAILED TOO MUCH OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE BUT I DID PAINT A COAT OF POR-15 CHASSIC FENDER BLACK PAINT ON THE BUMPER BRACKETS, FRAME, CROSS MEMBERS, AND AND LEAF SPRINGS. THERE IS STILL SIGNS OF OIL THAT LEAKED FROM THE ENGINE PRIOR TO THE  REMOVAL AND REBUILD. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE REBUILT ENGINE DOES NOT LEAK A DROP OF OIL ! 

MY RESERVE IS LOW ENOUGH TO ALLOW PLENTY OF $$ ROOM TO DETAIL THE UNDERCARRIAGE CORRECTLY AND REPLACE THE VENT WINDOWS.

I HAVE DONE MY BEST TO BRING THIS VICTORIA BACK TO IT'S ORGINAL BEAUTY OF YESTERYEAR

I CAN BE REACHED AT 757-620-7733, Thanks for looking, Charlie

Ford supports bid for Detroit Rallycross race with Motown-minded Fiesta ST vid

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

As Ford continues its cheerleading effort to help bring the 2014 Summer X Games to its hometown of Detroit, MI, it has released footage of its 2014 Fiesta ST Rallycross car on location at some of the city's well-known landmarks. This video appears to have been shot around the same time as the previous X Games Detroit video was made, but it focuses 100-percent on rally car action.
With Ford Racing driver Andreas Eriksson behind the wheel, this Fiesta ST lays down some serious rubber atop Detroit's Cobo Hall parking structure, at Belle Isle and around the Michigan Central Depot. Detroit isn't alone in the bid for a three-year X Games contract as Chicago, Austin and Charlotte are also hoping to play host. The winning host city is expected to be announced this summer. Scroll down for Ford's two-minute video showing the Fiesta ST Rallycrossing through the Motor City.

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.
