Hello and thanks for looking at my listing I have a 1952 Ford F6 that I built this rat rod out o.f To start of,f I drive this truck daily with no problems at all and it is getting around 19mpg and has no problems running 65mph at all. The truck has the correct title in my name in my hand with no issues or anything like that it is titled and insured as a 1952 ford with that out of the way,.. the cab was chopped 7 inches, it has a new windshield in the front and the rear glass was cut from the original glass that was in it. There is no side glass, but regulators are in the doors still I beleive they are froze up but I'm sure they would work again with some time and oil. I cut the original F6 frame off right behind the cab then built a 2x3 tubing rear frame section. It has a 1998 GM 10 bolt with disk brakes out of a blazer held in with an all adjustable triangulated 4 link set up with two 2500lb air bags that I have set up to just air up to ride height and go once they are aired up, they stay up. I didnt want all the valves and compressor mess in the truck and the fuel tank is a schedule 40 8 inch stainless pipe with end caps welded on it the tank holds right around 9 gallons and has an new electric pump right at the tank to push the fuel it also has brand new 3/8 stainless fuel line from rear to the carb the everthing on the Rear of the truck is new inside of frame rails except rear end but the pinion seal is new with fresh oil the bed is a 1953 model ford bed that has had 17 inches of lenth 11 inches of width and 8 inches of height took out of it. Now for the front section; it is the original 1952 F6 frame and still has the vin number stamped in the right front rail. I removed the F6 straight axle and springs and bought a 1937 Ford sedan straight axle and sping set up and moved it all the way to the front of the frame and used the original wishbone set up but shortened them and built a cross member under oil pan to use this set and by doing this I could add a little more camber to the front axle making it drive and steer very well along with those modifications it has all new disk brakes on the front and I mean all the way down to the bearings in the rotors it is all GM style and I have all part numbers fo these items for future needs it also has new shocks, spring hanger bushings, new tires on weld racing wheels, on front all the brake lines from front to rear are new along with new GM master Cylinder. It stops very well. The rear wheels are 15x14 with a7.5 offset with 33/19.50/15 Mickey Thompson sportsman pros that are thin but I still runable for a little while. The engine is a 8ba 239 Ford flathead that runs very well. It has new plugs wires, fresh oil, filte,r and fresh carb. Starts right and it has all been changed to 12v with new wiring throughout. The tranny is a 4 speed that works very well. This truck was not thrown together with a bunch of junk it is very safe and alot of fun to drive it draws a lot of attention and people are always stopping to take pictures of it no matter where I go. For any more questions please call this number this 270 227 3493 or text for more pic the rear mail seal drips a little and I mean drip it is nothing to keep the truck from driving and running and the seats kind of suck, they need raised up, I put them in to go to car show and have never took them back out to raise. It is more fun to drive then work on. if I have left anything out you are concerned about please call or text thank you for your time.

USPS releases hot rod stamps to speed up your delivery

Sun, 08 Jun 2014

After one of the worst winters in recent memory for much of the country, summer is finally here. It's time to drop the top, open the sunroof or at least put down the windows and take a long drive. The United States Postal Service is celebrating the season's sun in automotive style with two new hot rod Forever stamps.
Both stamps depict classic '32 Ford hot rods. One shows the car from the front at a low angle in red (pictured above), while the other depicts the car from the back in black with flames running down the side.
To introduce the new stamps on their first day of availability, the USPS went straight to the source at the National Street Rod Association Street Rod Nationals in York, PA. They were unveiled by Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, Car Crazy host Barry Meguiar and NSRA Special Events Director Jerry Kennedy.

How did Ford keep the GT a secret before Detroit?

Mon, Feb 2 2015

True 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:

Leno drives Henry Ford II's all-original '52 Ferrari 212 Barchetta

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

The story of the relationship between Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari is absolutely fascinating. The two great men of the auto industry had what appeared to be a burgeoning friendship until Ferrari pulled out of a deal to sell his company to Ford in the '60s. The latest car featured in Jay Leno's Garage is a 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta that tells the very beginnings of that story.
This Prancing Horse was a gift to Ford from Enzo when the two companies were first thinking about merging, according to the curator of the Petersen Automotive Museum. Ferrari really wanted to show off its best so instead of the 212's normal V12, this car was fitted with the larger 2.7-liter unit from a Ferrari 225. The car has been almost unaltered since then. It still wears its original paint, and it's tires date back to 1954.
The great thing about the Petersen is that unlike a lot of auto museums, the people there actually drive the cars and keep them in working order. Once on the road with Leno behind the wheel, this Ferrari really sings. Unfortunately, he can't open it up too much because the 60-year-old tires really hold things back. Scroll down to watch this amazing piece of automotive history and learn it's possible effect on the styling of the original Ford Thunderbird.
