Delton, Michigan, United States
This car was built by Altered Image Motorsports in three and a half months. It was debuted at Detroit Autorama 2015 and we took home the Young Gun Award. I have put just over 200 miles on the car in the past 7 days and it has been a blast. This car is very fun to drive and tends to get attention out on the roads. It was built to be driven and that is what you can do with it. The car runs comfortably down the expressway at 70-75 mph at about 2500 RPM's. This was a hole themed build with holes in the frame rails, radius arms, headlight stantions, grill shell, front spring mount, motor mounts, axle, visor, seats, shifter handle, gas and brake pedals, roof support bars and door panel accent. I did tons of bead rolling and dimple dieing on the interior and exterior. The list of aftermarkets and one off parts for this build go on and on. I am 6' tall and I fit in the car very comfortably. With the driver seat being adjustable for someone from 5'6''-6'3''. Here are some of the great features. Exterior: This car was chopped 4'' and channeled 1 1/2''. The exterior was ground down and clear coated with 3 coats of semi gloss clear. The car was an original rumble seat car so the deck lid still latches with the original handle but I did use different hinges. The front grill insert was a main focal point on the car and the tac welded wings also match the seats. The body is in pretty good shape as you can see from the pictures. I didn't fix any dings or dents but I did fix the major rust. Still has some old brazed in spots here and there that I thought gave it a ton of character. The doors open and close nicely and latch with the factory style latches. I used 1''x1'' steel tubing for the roof support and drilled holes in all of them as well. We just had a nice black vinyl top made that you can snap to keep the weather off you. Some other little things consist of tear drop tail lights with smoked lenses, license plate light, and Sylvania Extra Vision headlights. Chassis / Suspension: The frame is custom built 2''x4'' that is Z'd front and rear. The front frame rails start at the firewall as 2''x8'' and taper out to 2''x4'' with holes that step down from 7'' to 3 1/2''. All seams have been plated in 1/4'' plate and it is X'd under the body. This is set up with the suicide front axle just to give it the right look and stance. The front axle is a 4'' Drilled Superbell drop axle, Superbell spring, one off hole themed radius arms, Ford 8.8 rear axle, triangulated 4 link on adjustable coil overs. This is 4 wheel disc brakes with a limited slip carrier and 2.86 gear. Rear axle is rebuilt with all new Timkin bearings and seals. Front steering stabilizer shock and front hardpan bar. Also all the frame and suspension pieces that are are not bare metal are done in POR 15 Chassis gloss black paint. All wiring, brake lines and fuel lines are nicely routed and secured to the frame for a clean look. Motor / Transmission: This has a Crate motor 355 Chevy Small block with a Big Mutha Thumper Cam, hardened pushrods, Meling High Volume oil pump, deep 7 quart oil pan, Comp Cam double roller timing chain, billet timing cover, billet finned valve cover and double shotgun air cleaner, polished intake, Edlebrock 600 cfm manual choke carb, K&N air filter, Weiand aluminum water pump, billet braided oil dip stick, chrome high pressure fuel pump, heavy duty flywheel, 3 HP mini starter, 2'' Gilmer belt drive kit, HEI distributor, black 9.5 mm plug wires, Holley fuel pressure regulator and -6AN fuel lines with black fittings. As for the transmission it is a rebuilt Turbo 400 with a 3200-3500 stall converter, adjustable vacuum module, billet braided tranny dipstick, and billet tranny cooler mounted under the body. The cam sounds great at idle, under load and moving it around. The trans shifts nice and smooth like a new car. The headers were built for the car out of 1 7/8'' tubing, with a 3 1/2''x9'' baffled muffler after the collector and into turn down tips. Car sounds great. Wheels / Tires: The rims and tires are Coker Firestones and these are Bias ply. The rear tires are the 8.20-15 Firestone Gum dipped Dragster slicks. As for the fronts they are the 6.70-15 Firestone Vintage. All four tires are tubeless. The rims are all made by Wheel Vintiques and are a series 12 smoothie. Rear rims are 15x8 and fronts are 15x5. New chrome lug nuts. Interior: One of the main focal points on the interior is the reworked 1956 Ford Dash. The interior has a ton of bead rolling on the floor, tunnel, door panels, inner quarter panels, and seats. Some other little parts are vintage Dolphin gauges (speedometer, volts, temp., oil and fuel), LED turn signal and high beam indicators, cigarette lighter, glove box with locking button, Grant wood grain steering with pull off adapter for easy access, sheet metal bomber seats and the driver seat is on adjustable tracks, black lap belts, and one off door panels to finish it off. This is all wired up with 6 panel fuse block and wiring has been heat shrinked. The doors, gas tank cowl and under side of tunnel have been in sound deadener to quite things up.

Ford Mustang, F-150, Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator recalled
Wed, Apr 27 2016The Basics: Ford will recall 201,900 examples of the 2011-2012 F-150, 2012 Expedition, 2012 Mustang, and 2012 Lincoln Navigator. The affected vehicles have the 6R80 transmission. Of the total, there are 84,000 of them in the United States and 17,900 in Canada. The Problem: The output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame can force the gearbox to downshift into first gear. If this happens at high speed, it could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up. Injuries/Deaths: There are no reported injuries, but Ford know of three accidents related to this problem. The Fix: Dealers will update the powertrain control module software to eliminate the problem, and they'll also replace the transmission lead frame. If You Own One: Ford will begin notifying affected customers by mail on May 23.

First Ford Mustang prototype shots caught by legendary spy shooter Jim Dunne
Fri, 12 Apr 2013You know how people refer to someone as having "been around the block" to mean they're very experienced? Well, when it comes to automotive spy photography, Jim Dunne actually laid down the concrete slabs of the block's sidewalk. The unforgettable Dunne more or less invented the car spy game - a fact he cemented by writing book called Car Spy - and has been delivering spy shots and reporting on the industry for some 45 years now. (He also once employed this writer as his impromptu personal chauffer on a Volkswagen trip in Germany, while he slept, but that's a story for a different time.)
In any event, Dunne must be on a mission to prove that "elder statesman" doesn't also mean "washed up" as it is his shots of the upcoming new 2014 Ford Mustang that we've been handed by our friends at KGP Photography.
Mr. Dunne has likely spent the last few years obtaining powerful telescopic lenses, as the Ford in question has clearly been photographed from some distance. Nevertheless, what you see here is visual evidence that the sixth-generation Mustang has moved beyond the mule stage, and is now testing in proper prototype form. Sources indicate that there are production-spec body panels under that baggy canvass dress; but the slightly less bulky silhouette of the new car can be just made out. While the car's bumpers have been removed to obfuscate things, we can tell by way of the camo's apertures that the car's taillights have moved upwards and towards the lip of the tail. A fender vent appears to be visible, too, just behind the front wheel.
How did Ford keep the GT a secret before Detroit?
Mon, Feb 2 2015True secrecy is a rarity in the automotive industry. Sure, companies try to keep their future projects under wraps all of the time, but usually a spy shot or blurry development photo leaks out. The complete lack of any hard details before its unveiling likely helped make the Ford GT one of the biggest stars of the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Not only was it the favorite of Autoblog's editors, but the supercar scored a prestigious EyesOn Design Award, too. Rumors about the vehicle had circulated for weeks before the show, but no one really knew much about the GT until it rolled onto the stage for Ford's press conference in Joe Louis Arena. Amazingly, the Blue Oval kept things mostly a secret during the car's 14- month gestation period prior to its debut. According to Automotive News, the GT project began in late 2013 by a skunk works team, including six designers, that guided the supercar along from birth until the unveiling. Ford kept things clandestine by locking the vehicle in a basement storage room, and only the group members got a key to the lock. Much of the development was also done at night to further keep the secret, but occasionally the prototype was hauled outside on weekends to check it out in natural light. Because of the speed in getting the development done and for even more stealth, the designers didn't get input from the Blue Oval's other styling teams around the world. But that was somewhat of a double-edged sword. "You don't actually get to bounce opinions off people," Ford design boss Moray Callum said to Automotive News. "We were on tenterhooks ourselves until the first people saw it." Even now, there are still mysteries surrounding the GT. There's still no official word on the supercar's power; just that it's over 600 horsepower. There are also the persistent rumors going back months that the Blue Oval plans to take the GT racing to celebrate the 50th anniversary of automaker's Le Mans victory. Although, maybe this time the secrecy wasn't so good because we might have got a glimpse of the racer, recently. Related Video:
