This 1953 Ford f-100 Anniversary Edition that was parked on the southern side of a barn in the early 70's has been redone to roughly 95% of its original condition with original parts, no aftermarket. The only rust issue to be found anywhere on this truck is the bottom of the passenger door, which was caused form the outside window seal/sweep missing and water and volcanic ash(1980 St. Helens) leaked in and plugged the drain holes. Most parts($8000 in receipts) were purchased from Sacramento vintage or Dennis Carpenter. The truck has new chrome all around except for the original chrome hood emblem that I felt did not require replacement. New tires, shocks, brakes with rebuilt cylinders. New rubber seals for the windows, doors, hood, and bed. Interior and exterior door handles are new, along with window cranks. Two years ago the truck was completely sanded to bare metal and was repainted with 4th generation products. Bed has new stainless strips and clear pine planks in good condition, but pine could be resealed (part of the 5% to completely finish truck). Running boards and bed have been redone with brown tintable raptor liner. Interior has new floor mat, vinyl seat, and door panels. Engine is original 223 straight six, fords first overhead valve motor, and has been gone through by a certified mechanic that replaced rings and installed a new gasket kit. When I replaced the 6 volt wiring with 12 volt I installed brand new heater motor, new wiper motor, and new fuel sending unit. Engine runs very well. Electrical has all been upgraded to 12 volt(only change from original condition, 6 volt) in order to be drivable/reliable. 


The 5% that I consider needs to be finished on this truck would be the broken speedometer indicator, replacement of the front bumper and oil bath air cleaner that are missing, doors locks that no longer work, and the inside bottom of the passenger door that had the only rust damage in the whole vehicle was fixed with Duraglass. The vinyl used on the door pulls turned out to be cheaper than I expected and separated, so those could also be replaced, which is a quick and cheap fix. Some parts for the door locks have been replaced but did not fix the problem, and I just decided I did not need it fixed considering the other 8 project cars I currently have going. This truck is so reliable it could easily be a daily driver that is no only fun to drive, it is also an attention grabber.

Ford Fiesta ST in startling track battle against Toyota GT86

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

On the surface, there's very little that the Ford Fiesta ST and Toyota GT86 (or the Scion FR-S that is sold in the US, or the largely similar Subaru BRZ) share in common. One is a hatchback with power coming from a turbocharged engine routed to the front wheels. The other is a coupe with power coming from a naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine routed to the rear wheels.
Thing is, both of them are reasonably priced performance cars aimed at a similar segment of the automotive marketplace, so a comparison isn't out of the question. It is with all of this in mind that we direct you to the video below, in which the blokes from Evo pit the two manic little machines against one another on a race track. The result? Well, it can be summed up this way: Fast versus fun.
See how the track battle goes down in the video below.

Ford debuts Fusion NASCAR racer that edges closer to stock [w/video]

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

The sixth-generation NASCAR Sprint Cup racecar, which will make its competition debut at the 2013 Daytona 500 this weekend, marks the closest thing to a "stock car" that the sport has seen in more than 20 years. No longer using just stickers to distinguish the different brands, the image above shows the lengths NASCAR and automakers went in order to create a racecar design that more closely resembles the individual cars they represent.
Ford, one of the more open and vocal OEMs regarding the Gen6 car's development, is giving us a closer look at its racing version of the Fusion with a pretty revealing side-by-side comparison with last years' racer (click above for an expanded view). Aside from the more realistic front end and production-like body lines, the overall shape, dimensions and proportions have also been designed to give the racecar a more stock appearance. Most of the new racer was designed by the Ford Design Center, which the automaker says was the first time it has been so involved in the design process since the 1960s. Of course, one area the Sprint Cup Fusion really differs from the production Fusion is its Ford Racing 5.8-liter V8 producing around 850 hp. Can you say Fusion SVT?

Ford to pay $17.35 million over Escape recall

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

Ford had a bit of a recall spree around this time last year, with a pair of issues on the then-new 2013 Escape, followed by a recall of 423,000 2001 to 2004 Escapes because they might accelerate of their own accord. Accordingly, Uncle Sam pasted Ford with a $17.35 million fine because it took too long to inform customers, according to a report from Automotive News.
Ford agreed to settle with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, accepting the fine but not admitting fault. The recall, which afflicted Escapes with the 3.0-liter V-6 along with 217,000 Mazda Tributes from 2001 to 2006 and 2008, was due to faulty gas pedals that could stay down after a driver removed their foot.
Ford issued a statement regarding the fine, saying, "We take the safety of our customers seriously and continuously evaluate our processes for improvements. While we are confident in our current processes for quickly identifying and addressing potential vehicle issues, Ford agreed to this settlement to avoid a lengthy dispute with the government."
