1926 Ford Tudor Sedan Traditional Hot Rod. This car was finished in 2006 has seen nothing but trouble free miles since. Driven to local as well as out of town shows like Paso Robles and Billetproof in Antioch. The car has been in many, many magazines like Rolls & Pleats, Rod & Custom and Traditional Rod & Kulture. This was built right and was intended to be a permanent fixture in the owners stable but plans have changed. He has the urge to build another Hot Rod and the wife says something has to go.
Starting with a body that took very little metal work and filler to make arrow straight the car was painted with a single stage royal blue with gold inserts and red pinstriping. A stock Model A frame was lengthened to accommodate a Chevrolet Inline 6 mated to a rebuilt 700R4 transmission. The front suspension is from a '46 Ford with a suicide perch and a Chevy 10 bolt with a pair of adjustable coil over shocks out back. Front brakes are '57 Ford pickup drums which were completely rebuilt. The car sits on a set of stock style 16 inch Ford wires built by Rally America with a set of bias-ply Firestone wide white walls. The car needs door glass to be completely finished.........cheap and easy fix due to flat glass.
The car runs great and stays cool with the help of a Walker 4 core radiator even in the brutal Summer of California's Central Valley.
Here's a list of the many highlights:
Offenhauser intake with three Rochester single barrel carbs.
Split manifold with dual Smithy's glasspacks.
Modified '56 Mercury dash, with working underdash gauges.
1950 Kaiser taillights.
Lokar shifter.
Walker 4-core radiator.
Firestone bias-ply wide whites.
I have a stack of reciepts for all parts that will be included with the car.

Former Ford president, Jaguar chairman Nick Scheele dead at 70
Sun, 20 Jul 2014We have the privilege here at Autoblog of reporting a lot of good news, but it is our duty as well to report the bad news and sad news as well. And this is one of those occasions as the automotive industry mourns the passing of one of its leaders.
Nick Scheele was born in the UK in 1944 and joined the Ford Motor Company upon graduating from the University of Durham in 1966, staying within the Blue Oval's portfolio for the entirety of his career. After moving to North America in 1978, he rose through the ranks to become president of Ford's Mexican operations in 1988. After acquiring Jaguar, Ford appointed Scheele as its chairman.
Scheele subsequently acted as chairman of all of Ford's European operations, making difficult decisions to take the division out of the red and into the black. He briefly headed up Ford's North American division before he was appointed in 2001 as president and chief operating officer of the global automaker, working under CEO Bill Ford following the departure of Jacques Nasser departure and retaining the role until his retirement in 2005.
Ken Block is at it again in Gymkhana 6
Mon, 11 Nov 2013If there's one thing we'll say about Ken Block and his latest installment in the Gymkhana family, it's that it's far more structured than previous videos, but that doesn't mean it skimps on the entertainment. Block is on a purpose-built course which was touted as "The... Ultimate... Gymkhana... Grid... Course" in last week's preview. Unlike Gymkhana 5, which took placed on closed streets in San Francisco, this course seems much more compact.
Block has an entire array of challenges to tackle in his 650-horsepower Ford Fiesta ST, and none of them look particularly easy. In fact, we'd argue that Gymkhana 6's grid course requires much more precise driving that previous titles. There are Segways, Lamborghinis and massive pieces of construction equipment that all must be dealt with.
We've got the entire 6:28 of Gymkhana madness for you down below. Scroll down for the video and then hit Comments and let us know how this installment compares to previous Block works.
