1989 ford ranger. top chopped with full stock windshield. Body: completely rust free with the exception of some minor rust bubbles in the area of the re fit of the windshield post (see pics.) bed mini tubbed. full interior and headliner. needs repaint as the clear coat is lifting in places and rubbed through around the driver window (probably from arm and hand contact while being driven.  has a custom grille. some custom details around the body.

Drive train: 355 early 70"s Chevy with a moderate camshaft and Pete Jackson gear drive. internals details unknown. stock exhaust manifolds into dual turbo type mufflers. (sound good but needs attention. ) aluminum dual plane Edelbrock intake and Holly list 3310 carb. Trans: 700 r 4 that I had rebuilt with 3300 stall lock up converter, Kevlar bands, corvette servo, and overdrive lock up is through a manual push /pull switch on the dash. (trans has less than 1000 mile on it. rear end: 9 inch ford narrowed single track (yup) and 14/ 32/mickeys and pro star wheels.

Overall: nice running and starting truck. drives anywhere and sounds like a 9 second truck . using the overdrive and the vacuum secondary carb the is a level of fuel economy. However it really wants a double pumper. there is an electric holly 85 gph fuel pump pulling through the stock set up in the fuel tank. also a thermostat controlled electric fan. both are wired on relays. The 14/32s rub slightly on the frame rails when cornering a little hard. There are many themes that could be carried from pro street/drag to ridiculous over the top street, rat rod or a nice street rod type. I am going VW drag racing and have decide to focus on that. I have had this truck for 4 years and it has grown on me and turns heads where ever I take it.

Creations n' Chrome Top Notch Mustang is a one-of-a-kind fox

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

Is there a cooler car from the 1980s and early 90s to mod than a Fox-body Ford Mustang? No, there isn't. If you disagree with us, we suggest you have a look at this 1990 Mustang Coupe, which just might change your mind. Although considering just how extensively modified this car - the Top Notch Mustang from Creations n' Chrome - is, we wonder just how much Ford is left in this old pony.
It rides on a custom race tube chassis that weighs a scant 700 pounds, while carbon-fiber bits and bobs help lower the overall curb weight to a mere 2,400 pounds. When paired with supercharged, 5.0-liter, Aluminator V8 from Ford Racing, the results are, doubtlessly, exciting. 855 horsepower at the rear wheels and 667 pound-feet of torque are available from that force-fed V8 should be just plenty for this car's intended purpose of running in standing-mile competitions.
The Top Notch Mustang is more extreme than just weight savings and a big engine, though. That 5.0-liter is essentially in what's known as a front-mid layout - where the engine is actually behind the front axle. In this case, the 5.0-liter V8 is 17 inches further back than a factory Fox-body, for better weight distribution. As a result, the cabin has been completely overhauled. An SLA front suspension, wheels from HRE, Wilwood brakes and Sparco interior items round out the extensive list of mods.

Mulally wanted to kill Lincoln as late as last year, Fields vows to turn it around

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

Lincoln fans might want to give incoming Ford CEO Mark Fields a pat on the back for having a hand in saving the brand from the chopping block last year. He's among the people spearheading the rejuvenation of the division away from its stodgy image to appeal to younger customers.
According to two unnamed sources speaking to Bloomberg, CEO Alan Mulally was ready to kill Lincoln last year. Following the slow production ramp-up of the MKZ combined a with a costly ad campaign, Mulally was frustrated and openly suggested dropping the brand. However, Fields and Jim Farley, Ford's marketing boss, convinced the CEO that the brand was worth saving. They also created a plan to prevent similar problems for new models in the future.
It seems that one part of the strategy may involve waiting until new models are at dealers before starting a big ad campaign for them. Lincoln global director, Matt VanDyke, recently told Autoblog that the division is holding off on a full marketing push behind the new MKC crossover to prevent the supply problems that plagued the MKZ last year. Its big offensive begins in the fall when the CUVs are at all of the dealers and consumers are at home watching more TV. VanDyke also told Bloomberg that Fields, Farley and Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, have more direct oversight over new product launches now.

Leno chooses his top 10 Mustangs

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

He may be a few months late to the party, but in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Ford Mustang, Jay Leno has delivered a short video in which he runs down which of the Blue Oval's pony cars from the past 50 years are his favorites.
The list is pretty darn similar to our own, with some of the big names from the Mustang's half century making an appearance, while there are three or four cars here that we think you'll be pretty surprised by.
Take a look below for this short video from Jay Leno's Garage.
