1931 Ford coupe. Body was pretty rough and has been stitched back together and is now solid. The doors open and close nicely(bear claw latches). Windows are plexi glass. The windshield frame was fabricated out of alum channel and is in place until I could find/fabricate something a little better. Floor, braces and top are all metal. 32 Ford grille shell is fiberglass. Early SBC with vintage Offenhauser 2 x 4 intake with early AFB carbs(I'm told Vette). The valve covers are real Corvette(1963). Engine has approx. 54000 on rebuild - I might still have the paperwork to verify this. 1 wire alt. Headers have muffler ends. Auto trans. 68 Plymouth 8 3/4 rear. SW gauges - speedo, oil press. & water temp. Lokar shifter. Velour bench seat. New Chrome rims/tires. Super Bell dropped axle. Disc brakes front. Reversed Corvair box. Many new parts. Could probably use about an inch longer driveshaft. Gas pedal needs adjusting to obtain full throttle. This is a nice running, fun car that needs very little to be blasting the street or maybe dragstrip. Keep in mind it is not perfect and will need tweaking here and there. I haven't had the time to work the bugs out, I've only got about 15 miles on it since finishing the build some months ago. I'm on other priorities and don't have the time to devout to this an the other items I'll be listing on Ebay, therefore the reserve is low considering the work and time that had been done so far and to other comparable cars. The title is 31 Ford and is clear in my name. Has collector plates. This is being sold as is. This is being offered at different venues and auction will be ended if sold elsewhere, unless reserve is met. Please have transportation set up as I need this out of here within 2 weeks of auction end, I need the shop space. Ask questions early in the auction - I'm on the computer randomly. Please read payment instructions and follow them after auction. Bidders with less than 10 feedback, please contact me before bidding or bid will be cancelled. On Sep-06-14 at 13:39:06 PDT, seller added the following information: Top is chopped approx. 2 1/2". Body has been channeled over frame approx. 4". Entire front end(axle, shocks, brakes, spring, perches, radius rods, tie rod, drag link and hardware) is new, just not painted. Rear shocks, spring plates, driveshaft, taillights, aluminum radiator, gauges, steering wheel, bear claw latches, fuel cell, alternator, wheels, tires, peep mirror, Wilwood brake pedal/mc and starter are new.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost already hitting 12-second quarters
Sun, 28 Sep 2014The arrival of a new Ford Mustang means many things to many people, but not least of them is drag racers. The pony car has always been a mainstay of the drag strip, and the Ford Racing team aims to carry that reputation forward with this latest generation. So it cooked up a few basic modifications on three new 'Stangs and headed to the strips at US 131 and Milan Dragway to see what they could coax out of 'em.
Impressively, the 5.0-liter V8 Mustang GT with a few modifications (but no forced induction) managed to clock a quarter-mile time of 11.77 seconds. Another Mustang GT fitted with a supercharger clocked a blistering 10.97 seconds. But just as intriguing was the modified EcoBoost model that, with only four cylinders and 2.3 liters of displacement, still passed the gates in just 12.56 seconds - nearly half a second better than expected. This with modification limited to a new subframe, half-shaft, drive shaft loops, exhaust, engine calibration, slicks, roll cage and bucket seat. Well done, boys.
Ford worker files for UAW dues refund, stirs right-to-work debate
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Let's start with some history: Ford's Dearborn truck plant, part of the company's massive River Rouge complex, was the center of a strike in 1941 that led to Ford signing the first "closed shop" agreement in the industry. The agreement obliged every worker at the plant to be a dues-paying member of the United Auto Workers. In December 2012, however, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder signed legislation making Michigan a right-to-work state, which outlawed closed shops. The new law gave workers the right to opt out of union membership and stop paying dues even if they were still covered by union activities like collective bargaining. For employees at the Dearborn plant, the right-to-work clauses take effect at the end of their current contract in 2015.
As a tool-and-die maker at Ford's Dearborn plant for 16 years, Todd Lemire pays dues to the UAW - about two hours' salary per month. However, he's been unhappy with the UAW's support of the Democratic party, and not wanting to wait until next year to be out of the UAW entirely he invoked his Beck Rights, which state that a non-member of a union does not have to pay dues to support non-core activities, such as political spending. But Lemire wasn't happy that Ford still subtracted the total amount of dues, with the UAW reimbursing the difference, so he filed suit with the National Labor Relations Board, feeling that the workaround violates his rights.
Lemire's case is just a week old, so it could be a while before a resolution. Yet, as September 15, 2015 draws near and the right-to-work laws take full effect for Michigan workers - and others wonder whether it could help revitalize the state's manufacturing base - a case like this adds more fuel to the discussion.
Ford Explorer gets appearance pack for 2015
Sat, 14 Jun 2014Remember when Ford launched the totally new Explorer in late 2010, and people were skeptical about how the now-crossover would fare, after ditching its traditional SUV roots? Well, we're several years in, and I think we can assuredly say that Ford made the right decision. Sales are better than ever (in fact, May was the current Explorer's best month yet), and the crossover is finding its way into the hands of a whole host of new Ford buyers.
A wholly refreshed Explorer is still forthcoming, but to keep its strong-selling crossover fresh, Ford is offering a host of improvements for the 2015 model year, including the attractive appearance package available on the XLT trim level, pictured above. Outside, the pack gets you goodies like 20-inch machined aluminum wheels, black bodyside cladding and roof rack rails. Contrasting Magnetic Metallic accents are found on the grille, mirror caps and liftgate appliqué, and there's an "Explorer" hood badge and body-colored door handles. Inside, there are new Miko suede inserts in the seats, and the package includes the automaker's Sync connectivity with MyFord Touch infotainment.
Elsewhere in the Explorer range, the Class III trailer tow pack is now standard on the Sport, base models get new 18-inch aluminum wheels, and there are three new colors on offer: Bronze Fire Metallic and Magnetic Metallic.
