Jezebel

1930 Tudor Sedan

Up for auction is Jezebel a one off custom traditional hot rod from Fod's Garage. This Beautiful sedan was completed in March of 2013 and debuted as a display vehicle at the annual Hot Rod and Restoration show in Indianapolis. The car was also used on the banner of their website for this years show. The car has been in Street Scene Magazine and on Motor Head Garage. This car was inspired by the show cars of the 50's and 60's. Over the top body modifications and extreme attention to detail. Please take time to look over the pictures here and more on the Fod's Garage website. Photo from show is of Jezebel as well as other vehicles available for sale. We provide turn key customs as well as commissioned builds. If you have any questions contact me before placing a bid (fod@fodsgarage.com or (812) 216-0635). Don't know why anyone would assume anything different but the car is equipped with functioning, windows (all four), tilting windshield, headlights (high and low), tail lights, brake lights, turn signals, and horn. You get the idea. The speedo is not hooked up needs cable. Being listed as having 15 miles, this is aprox how many miles have been put on since build completion.

Exterior

We started with a solid original 1930 tudor sedan. The top was chopped a massive 7 inches. In order to retain correct proportions the body was sectioned 2 inches. Anyone familiar with custom cars will tell you the combination of these modifications is a tremendous amount of work. Any rust or previous poor repairs were cut out and replaced with new sheet metal. The body has also been channeled but not in the traditional manner. When looking in the door opening there is no step reducing interior room. This was accomplished by using a new sheetmetal floor and full custom chassis. The end result is head room equal to a channeled and 4 inch chopped A. The car has new wood throughout. Gaps were set far tighter and with more precision than anything Ford ever did. The body was wrapped in a beautiful three tone DuPont paint job. Topped of with old school pin stripes. A new high quality top was installed with mesh and padding. The grille shell is a new 28-29 grille with a woven stainless insert. The original model A headlights were fitted with halogen bulbs new lenses and turn signals in the housings. Wiring is sleeved with black woven cloth loom. Rear bumpers were added for a unique look.

Interior

Sitting in the driver seat you will see a Nash instrument cluster mounted in the center of a custom Model A dash. Cluster was sent out after reshaping to be chromed. The dash along with other metal trim inside the car is charcoal with black accents and maroon stripes to match the exterior. The inside of the car was primed, sealed and sound deadened prior to upholstery. The seat is a custom bench back style with bucket lowers. The seat bottoms as well as the back is contoured, not just a flat slab. Upholstery is done in black with ribbed charcoal inserts. The fuel tank has been located in the rear of the passenger compartment with a full firewall seperating it from the inside. The raised panel behind the seat houses the rear suspension. Fuel tank firewall, rear suspension cover, and transmission tunnel are all removable to allow access to all drivetrain from either inside or under the car. There are locations for storage on both sides behind the seat large enough for chairs, small cooler, cleaning supplies, and over night bags. The sedan also has a full headliner with dome lights. Interior is finished off with square weave black carpet.

Chassis

Jezebel sits on a full custom chassis. The lightening holes in the front have been sleeved. All joints in the frame have been plated for additional strength. Chassis is full TIG welded. Front axle has been smooth and drilled. Front brakes are new disc units from speedway motors as are the king pins and spindles. Steering is provided through a cowl mounted reversed Ford truck box mounted under the dash. Rear frame rails are mandrel bent. Rear suspension is 4 link with a diagonal bar for locating the 9 inch Ford axle. Coil overs are used for adjustable ride height. Plumbing and wiring are retained with stainless clamps, frame is drilled and tapped for attachment with stainless hardware. The brand new wheels along with all other chassis parts are powder coated black for high quality long lasting finish. Wheels are wrapped in new whitewall Firestone tires.

Drivetrain

Power is supplied by a 350 Chevy with a mild cam. Valve covers, air cleaner, and oil pan are finned cast aluminum. Custom headers are ceramic coated by Jet Hot. Transmission shifts firm and equipped with a finned aluminum pan. Cooling is provided by new radiator with electric fan and aluminum overflow tank.

Pages could be written covering all of the work and products used to complete this car. If you have any specific details you would like further information on feel free to contact me. I can not express the quality and attention to detail in this sedan. As previously stated this car has been published in print and on tv. This is without a doubt one of the nicest Model A's you will ever see! Thank you and good luck.

All shipping costs are the responsibility of winning bidder. Deposit and payment arrangements are required within 48 hours of auction completion. Vehicle will not be released until payment is made in cash or clears my bank. Car has a clear Indiana title.

Legal type stuff

As is with all custom vehicles there may be items that do not conform to your local laws. Custom/hot rod vehicles are not factory production units and therefore many not perform as such. These could, but do not necessarily include: interior or air ride leaks, altered ride and handling characteristics, decreased visibility, modified or removed safety items, deeming them off road use only. Therefore all altered vehicles are sold for off road show purposes only. Fod's Garage is not responsible for any damage or injuries caused while operating this vehicle. This car is in good working order but is sold as is with no warranty or guarantees.

Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.

2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Supercrew

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

I'm not normally a pickup kind of guy, but the 2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor won me over nearly instantly. The street-legal trophy truck - there is really no other way to accurately describe it - is big, brawny and incredibly capable. Let's just say it's every bit the monster it visually portrays. I spent a week pretending I was one of Ford's Baja 1000 drivers, but lacking desert sand, I headed into the local mountains where a mild winter storm had dropped a couple inches of fresh snow on my favorite off-road park. The Ford was, for the most part, practically unstoppable.
Ford offers its SVT Raptor package on Supercab and Supercrew platforms with the five-foot, five-inch bed. The Supercrew I tested rides on a 144-inch wheelbase (about a foot longer than the Supercab). In addition to its cosmetic differences when compared to the standard F-150 - there isn't a young boy on the planet who doesn't think the matte black Ford grille is cool - the Raptor has a 73.6-inch track - nearly seven inches wider than the track on the standard F-150.
After upgrading the F-150 SVT Raptor significantly for the 2012 model year, there are only a few changes for 2013. The list includes standard high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps, Hill Descent Control, forged beadlock-capable wheels, and the new matte Terrain color (aka "Desert Storm") option seen on my test model.
