The interior includes 2 new Bomber seats. The frame is an original Model A frame that came with the cab. It was also rough but has been reinforce by boxing and bracing. The frame has a 10 inch kick up in the rear. The front suspension is a drilled I Beam with disc brakes and radius rods and the rear suspension is the drag race ladder bar kit, both are from Pete and Jakes with Posie's springs. It has disc brakes on the front and rear with a new under dash brake pedal assembly and master cylinder. The rear end is an 8.8 from a 1998 Ford Explorer with 31 spline axles, a rebuilt limited slip, and new disc brakes. The rear has been narrowed to 56 inches by shortening the driver's side to use a passenger side axle. The electrical includes a new wiring harness and one wire alternator from Danny's Rod Shop, United Pacific Guide Style Headlights, 32 Ford tail lights, and 6 gauge set from VDO.

The engine is a big block chevy with small oval cast iron heads. It is freshly built with a Scat crank with 4.25" stroke, Scat H beam rods, SRP pistons, UltraDyne solid lift cam and lifters, with 3/8 push rods, and roller rockers. It is fed by 2 new Edelbrock 600 cfm carbs through a new Dyer's 8-71 supercharger.

I have built many cars and this is the most dangerous but a lot of fun being very loud, very quick, and can break the tires loose with only minor throttle changes. The reason to sell is that I have a pro touring project waiting and want to use the proceeds to complete it. This car is being offered thousands below cost and will be sold AS IS, WHERE IS, WITHOUT TITLE, BILL OF SALE ONLY. I will gladly cooperate with the buyer to pick the vehicle up themselves or with a competent shipping company. |

Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015
Mon, 10 Feb 2014Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper.
For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011.
The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors.
Ford Focus ST checks into Jay Leno's Garage
Mon, 23 Sep 2013In a change of pace from the high-end vehicles that often appear in Jay Leno's Garage, Ford sends its hottest hatchback (in the US, at least), the 252-horsepower Focus ST, to be featured on Leno's show. Accompanying the five-door hatch is its chief engineer, Jamal Hameedi.
Riding on stylish 18-inch wheels with summer tires and with a spoiler that doubles as a lunch tray, Hameedi and Leno walk us through the finer points of what makes the ST special, which also includes bigger brakes, torque vectoring, a manual transmission and, of course, 252 hp and 270 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, which is made possible by 21 psi of turbocharged boost.
Watch the video below to see what Leno thinks of the global Focus ST.
Lincoln trumpets $129M investment, 300 new jobs in Louisville for MKC
Tue, 26 Aug 2014Remember when we used to talk about how close Lincoln was to being axed and how it seemed any day now the Grim Reaper would use it as a car service back to the grave? Last time we did it was, oh, not even a month ago. What a difference 27 days makes: Ford and Lincoln are trumpeting a $129M investment in the Louisville Assembly Plant that builds the MKC.
In July the MKC was the third-best-selling Lincoln of the brand's six offerings, beat by the MKZ and - by a much smaller margin - the MKX. It has sold 2,895 units in the two months it's been on sale, which is more than half the year-to-date sales of the MKS, MKT and Navigator. It's already important, is what we're trying to say, and this is before the Chinese market gets a crack at it later this year.
The money headed to Kentucky will be joined by 300 new workers, another marker in Ford's march to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the US by next year. You can read more about it in the press release below.
