1929
Ford Roadster Nostalgia Hot Rod No “replica” in
fiberglass or metal. It’s the real deal. Looks like a ’32 because of the frame
and grille (which are ’32 REAL DEAL). A lot of newer street rodders don't
appreciate the vintage ‘29 Ford as much as their 32's but this one is sure to
give them a run for their money. It combines the two looks into one cool
machine. The BIG difference…you can get this one for a fraction of the price! A
lot of the street rods around nowadays are new-age fiberglass but this one is
an ALL STEEL Henry Ford body. It was
created and rolled out of the factory 85 years ago! The fact that it is still
around and laser straight is absolutely amazing! The 1929 Ford body is nicely
mounted to the 32' Ford frame giving it some extra length for the chrome
spreader bar. The front end looks even more like a 32' with the addition of the
32' steel grill shell. The chrome grill has a great shine along with the Ford
logo and trim. The body, frame, and grill shell are all coated in bright yellow
and buffed out to a great shine. Pin striping by the legendary Larry West who
designed the Coors graphic on Bill Elliott’s NASCAR T-Birds. When we say this
is a nostalgic, old-school hot rod we should probably explain what we mean.
It's not that this car was done in the style recently. No. This style
actually started the trend in the late 50s and early ‘60s! Being built in the
late 50's this is what people are after when they are currently building
"old school" rods. The car was later restored in 2000, refreshed in
2013. Large chrome front headlights and circle frenched purple-dot taillights.
The trunk is louvered. In true nostalgia style the car rolls around on American
Racing Torque Thrust D wheels with white wall tires (all with fewer than 300
miles). And the only modern update for safety sake…4-wheel disc brakes that
were added last year. The mechanical details” 1956 CHEVROLET

REAR END Engine was torn-down
and rebuilt by TDS in Covington (Travis Domini, who has built 4 motors for me,
both for street and strip. I swear by him.) replacing what needed to be
replaced. Runs GREAT! Less than 300 miles since rebuild. The interior of the
car is nicely finished with black bucket seats. The dash is topped with Stewart
Warner wing gauges mounted in a nice brushed bezel. On the floorboard is
mounted the Lokar shifter. An aftermarket steering wheel is nicely mounted in
place. Oh yes, an ooogha horn. To the
column a tachometer has been added and works just as it should. All of the
rubbers have been replaced on the car when it was entirely gone through. So, what’s wrong
with it? A minor sign of wear on the left rear upholstery panel (see pic). The
speedometer is not accurate. There is a gizmo to correct that but I have never
bothered with it. Parking brake is not working. It is the drive shaft parking
brake variety. This is NOT a
show car. It is a fun, nostalgia hot rod meant to be driven, envied and enjoyed. Cars of this age are not titled in
Georgia. It does have a Texas title. Bob 404-210-7753 |

2016 Ford Explorer order guide revealed
Wed, Jan 21 2015The configurator for the refreshed 2016 Ford Explorer is already up and running. However, if you're the type of person that really likes to dig into the nitty-gritty of a vehicle's features, then the order guide for this latest Ford is now available (pictured right). While the documents don't list fuel economy, engine power or pricing, they give a precise idea of all of the differences separating each of the five trim levels: Base, XLT, Limited, Sport and Platinum. In addition to the tweaked styling across the board, even the Base model now features a rearview camera with a washer. There are also three new colors available: Shadow Black, Blue Jeans Metallic and Guard Metallic. Base, XLT and Limited trims are available with either a 3.5-liter V6 or new, optional 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder. All of them are mated to a six-speed automatic, and all-wheel drive is optional with either engine. The new Platinum trim basically loads the Explorer up with everything imaginable. Power comes from the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, matched with all-wheel drive. Plus, the Platinum trim gets standard luxuries like a dual-pane moonroof, adaptive cruise control, a premium sound system and Ford's super-soft Nirvana Leather covering the seats. There are also some new tech features throughout the rest of the lineup. For example, an updated auto-parking system is also available on the Limited but comes standard on the Platinum. Furthermore, a 180-degree front camera and second-row USB charging are optional on the Sport but are standard on the Limited and Platinum. Check out the gallery for even more of the changes.

Man turns Ford Fiesta into a one-car band
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The one-man band is a rather ridiculous idea, drawing up images of one person attempting to manipulate several instruments, at once, in a vain attempt at creating music. It's usually represented by silly scenes like this. Interestingly, the concept isn't much more successful when the "man" in "one-man band" is replaced with "car," as we see in this video.
It seems that someone rigged up and edited (699 times, we might add) a Ford Fiesta, a bucket, 12 PVC pipes and the natural sounds that a car makes to come up with a song. Now, we don't recognize the tune, so we've no idea if this is a cover or an original piece. And while it's hardly Beethoven, we have to admire the amount of effort the "conductor" went to in his attempt to turn a subcompact car into a musical instrument(s). Take a look (or listen) below for the entire video.
Project Ugly Horse: Part VI
Thu, 21 Mar 2013Solid axle? What solid axle?
I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation.
This should not have gone this easily. Having a long and checkered history of simple projects punctuated by much wailing and gnashing of knuckles, I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation when I finally decided to lay hands on the '89 Mustang with the goal of relieving the car of its stock rear axle. Instead, it took less than a full morning's worth of work to carve the old 7.5-inch solid axle from its moorings and mock up something, well, different.
