1970 Ford f100 Ranger
Engine---360 (original)
Transmission---3 speed on the column
Brakes---manual drum
Steering---manual

Complete body-off restoration.  We bought this F100 from the original owner with no intentions of doing a restoration.  We were just going to clean it up a little.  After realizing how solid this truck was we decided to restore it.  We removed the body and bed and had the inside and under-side of the bed media blasted.  The inside floor of the bed was extremely solid with just some light pitting.  The underside was just as nice.  The lower sides in front of and behind the tires were perfect with only a couple of pin-holes that showed up after the blasting.  The floor of the cab was solid with only a small spot on the drivers floor that had began to show signs of rust.  I removed the spot and replaced it with a 6"x6" patch (didn't really need it but did it anyway).  We had the entire truck sanded and repainted the original Boxwood Green.  We painted the underside of the bed but left the cab underside original.  You can still see some of the original paint on the bottom of the cab.  The body panels had no dents (other than a couple of small dings) so no body filler needed to be used other than a light skim-coat to make sure everything was smooth.  We wanted to use as many of the original parts as we could so we only replaced the body-side molding and the front hood lip molding.  The front grill, window chrome, emblems and all the glass is original to the truck.  The truck has the complete original interior (still has the original FoMoCo rubber mat) except for a dash cover.  The seat has a few small splits in the stitching (as you can see in the pictures) but we did not replace it because you cannot find the original material.  The AM radio still works.  The cigarette lighter doesn't look like it has ever been used.  We replaced all the window and door rubbers.  We put 8" wheels with bands and dog dish caps to give the truck a little better look.  We replaced all 4 shocks, both rear leaf springs and some bushings to help with the ride.  The engine is original to the truck and runs and sounds great.  I put a new head gasket and intake gasket on the engine and that was all I had to do to the engine. 

This is a very solid and great running truck.  This is not a $25000 restoration but if you are looking for a great truck that will turn heads and you will be proud to drive then this is the truck for you.  I have tried to describe in detail as much as I can.  I am sure I have left something out but I don't like to "over sell" something.  Let the pictures tell you the rest.

Mysterious small Ford spied in Germany

Sat, 29 Jun 2013

Our spy photographers have just popped off a few shots of something curious. This little runabout was spotted in Germany out testing with a current-generation Ford Fiesta. We're fairly confident the machine is a Ford, but exactly which Ford model is up for debate. The hatchback could be the next-generation Ka, but we've also heard that the Blue Oval supermini might not get a replacement. Our shooter says the five-door is a bit smaller than the current Fiesta, though there is a chance that this rig is just an engineering mule for drivetrain development. Then again, it could be a model built specifically for the South African market or China, or not a Ford at all.
Whatever it is and wherever it's headed, you can check out in the gallery for a closer look before heading into Comments to weigh in with your best guess.

Petrolicious pays visit to tuning sensation the Ringbrothers

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

We caught up with a few projects from Ringbrothers at SEMA this year: a classic Ford Mustang body rendered in carbon fiber, and a De Tomaso Pantera-based concept that made us swoon.
It's with good timing then, that our friends at Petrolicious have uploaded their newest, well-crafted mini-documentary to the expansive airwaves of the Internet. Here, we meet the brothers Ring in person - Mike and Jim - and see how they've lent they're passion for craftsmanship to their business, along with their surname. A 1964 Ford Fairlane dubbed "Afterburner" and a 1965 Mustang called "Producer" star in this show.

Ford GT to be revived, Le Mans battle upcoming

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Ford dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1966 to 1969, scoring four consecutive wins. Wouldn't it be great if the Blue Oval could go back to France for the 50th anniversary of that performance and show it can still compete in international endurance racing? Actually, the latest rumors indicate that could be exactly the case, and the car taking that checkered flag could be another revival of the Ford GT.
As the rumblings go, Ford wants to use a new supercar to take another crack at Le Mans, after considering some other possible alternatives. Substantiating these musings are reports that a Blue Oval rep was reportedly on hand for a recent meeting about 2016 GTE-Class rules, according to Road and Track. That would put the new GT in the same racing class as the Corvette, Ferrari 458 Italia, Porsche 911 and others.
It's not all about racing, though. If you win on Sunday, you want something to be able to sell on Monday. The revived GT is reportedly still a mid-engine supercar, but the exact engine is unclear. It's possible that it could even be shown or announced at the Detroit auto show in January, according to Motor Trend.
