Up for Auction is my 1927 wood body wrecker. I purchased this body and bed on a chassis that I think was about a 1922. The chassis was in poor shape and needed about everything. It just happen that I was able to get a 1927 Model TT chassis that looked to be in good shape. I sold the chassis that came with the body and mounted the body on this newer chassis and tried to start the engine. After a little time I was able to get it to run, but it was not running right. Pulled the head and found a crack in the block. I had another block but it was a 1925 engine and I started to rebuild it. The bearings were good on the rods and mains. I did put new high compression pistons in it. I also had all the exhaust seats replaced and all new stainless valves with new springs and lifters. I put oil dippers on the rods and drilled the rod caps. I kept the 27 transmission and totally rebuilt it. All new bushings and roller tail bearing. I balanced all the rotating parts and magnetized the magnets. Replaced the mag. coils with a rebuilt one. Rebuilt the coils, starter, and generator. It starts on mag and runs like a top. I put a warford three speed transmission in it to help it move a little faster down the road. It also makes it great for parades in the low gear too. All four tires are new. replaced any parts needed to make it reliable and save to drive. I brush painted the chassis with black chassis paint. I had to paint the hood due to dents and missing paint, but I have not painted the fenders or any of the body parts. The fenders have some rust at the lower area by the running boards. I did have a new seat cushions made for it. I put the Weaver wrecker unit on it and the fuel tank. It has a compression whistle, exhaust train whistle and ahooga horn on it. They all work great. I did put the cowl lights on it for looks and all the headlights and brake lights work great. I might have put 200 miles on it since everything was rebuilt. I have a clear Indiana title for the truck.

This wrecker gets looks everyplace I take it. I put a 1924 plate on it that my brother happen to have and it is not included with the truck!!

How Ford secretly used customers to test its aluminum F-150 [w/video]

Fri, 30 May 2014

Automakers getting clever about disguising development vehicles isn't anything new. Between mules wearing the sheetmetal of other cars and prototypes decked out in as much camouflage as is practical, automakers know how to make it very difficult for the general public to get an exact idea of what kind of vehicle is in development. Ford, though, is rapidly becoming the master.
We knew that the Blue Oval originally tested the durability of the aluminum construction being used for the 2015 F-150 by building an all-aluminum 2014 truck and entering it in the Baja 1000 off-road race. That's no longer a secret. What we didn't know, though, is that the aluminum development dates back to before even that, and that some of the people in question had no idea what it was they were working with.
Ford says this is the first time prototypes have ever been handed over to the public.

2014 Ford Fiesta ST

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Concentrated ST Formula Proves Just As Potent
I'm not the jealous type... usually. But I will fully admit to being somewhat of a Pouty Polly when I read executive editor Chris Paukert's report after driving the then-new 2013 Ford Focus ST through the impossibly pretty southern French Alps region last June. I feel like a broken record saying this yet again, but hot hatchbacks hold a special place in my heart. And while I'm always giddy to drive any sort of small, turbocharged three- or five-door at home in Detroit, my jealousy was indeed piqued after hearing Paukert tell about the challenging yet breathtaking roads he encountered while driving the flamin' yellow Focus. You know, the sort of roads that, from above, look like carelessly drizzled lines of icing on the frosted Alpen caps.
Several months later, I found myself piloting a Focus ST just west of metro Detroit, pitting it head-to-head against one of Autoblog's perennial favorite cars, the Volkswagen GTI. It was fantastic - enough so that I fully stand behind my statement that in terms of balls-out performance, the Focus ST cannot be beat as far as today's front-wheel-drive hatches are concerned.

Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid nab five-star ratings from NHTSA

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Ford's Fusion and Fusion Hybrid have both received the highest five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The rating is a big upgrade for the Fusion, which was completely redesigned for 2013. The previous model fell one star short of the top rating, after scoring only three stars in the frontal crash test and four stars in the side crash test and rollover evaluations. The 2013 Fusion received four stars in side crash and rollover testing and a full five stars in the front crash test.
Test results for the 2013 Fusion and Fusion Hybrid were greatly improved at least in part due to Ford's Personal Safety System. The system utilizes smarter sensors to gather crash data and tailor the car's restraint systems to the occupants. Seatbelt usage and seat position are taken into account to ensure airbags deploy with less pressure for smaller drivers, more for larger drivers.
The 2013 Fusion twins also received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick+ designation. Read the official press release below.
