1929 Ford Roadster

BODY

This is an extremely well thought-out, well constructed build.  The Z24 350 Chevy V-8 with  Jet coated Headers sends the power to the Ford 8"  rear via a  400 automatic transmission.

The 4 bar polished stainless front suspension is by Pete & Jake.  The brakes are disc at all four corners,  Radial tires are mounted on 15" front and  rear polished American rims.  The steering is Vega type with a Corvette steering column.

Sitting on a 1929-32 Ford reproduction boxed chassis by TCI is a Wescott 1929 Ford Roadster body, finished in multiple coats of smooth deep Red basecoat/clearcoat paint.  The fit and finish is up to above driver quality  standards. 

I have the painted frenched louvered hood sides but like the look with just the top hood section on!

The fabric top can be used up , folded down or easily removed with 4 bolts and snaps.


INTERIOR

Soft Tuck and Roll red and white leather, fitted carpet w / matching floor mats says to you to get in and enjoy the ride.  The classic gauges all add to the overall ambiance. Notice the shifter, brake and gas pedal quality and location.

The trunk opens up to reveal a fully finished look with a rumble seat that compliments the interior. This can be changed to a regular trunk.

The optima battery is hidden in a tray underneath the seat along with the fuse connections.


DRIVING IMPRESSIONS

Simply put, this roadster drives as good as it looks - not a small accomplishment in a Hot Rod.  It is smooth, not choppy.  It travels straight down the road, the transmission shifts perfectly.

It has a very solid feel, the result of a first class build .

The fitted  carpet and matching floor mats are installed over layers of heat and sound deadening material so that there is no excess heat in the cockpit and no excess sound.  The only sounds you hear are the throatiness of the exhaust system  and the growl of those  rear tires

There are no drivability issues! I am 6ft and fit comfortable. My wife and my 21 year old daughter both drive this car to shows together and enjoy the ride.



THE LOOK

It's not easy for a builder to attain "the look" but this Roadster has it in spades. You gotta love this Hot Rod, it looks and sounds fast and mean standing still!

And, oh yeah, everyone loves this car - lots of thumbs up and waves - smiles all around.  But this car is not for the bashful type, not for someone who wants to fly under the radar.  You will get noticed.


OVERALL

This custom built roadster, is only 5300 miles from new, and was built to drive, It is in very  nice shape. It started life in 2011 . I am stating that it is a # 3 quality but it is much better.

Simply put if you see this Roadster in person, you'll buy it.  Check the component prices of this high caliber build and you'll realize the value - This car is proof that it makes economic sense to buy them finished.

2014 Ford F-150 Tremor adds some sport to shake things up

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

Like most quakes, the 2014 Ford F-150 Tremor caught us by surprise. We weren't expecting Ford to offer up another version of its best-seller so soon before the truck's full redesign, but that's exactly what the company is doing.
While Ford calls the Tremor a "performance truck," the new pickup doesn't play on the same level as the SVT Raptor does on dirt, or even the long-gone SVT Lightning did on pavement. Think of it as a parts bin sport truck that probably does a better job looking the part than acting it. The Tremor utilizes the same twin-turbo, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 available across the F-150 lineup, producing 365 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, but matches it with a 4.10 rear axle - the shortest final drive ratio you can get in an F-150 - for the strongest possible acceleration.
The Tremor does do a decent job looking the part. Available only in short-wheelbase, regular cab configuration with your choice of two- or four-wheel drive, it struts around wearing the F-150's FX Appearance Package, flat black accents, 20-inch black wheels, HID headlights and a special exterior graphics package. The Tremor is the only regular cab F-150 with a flow-through center console, which means it also gets a floor-mounted shifter and bucket seats that are covered in black leather with red piping. Some brushed metal accents and steering wheel with red stitching round out the interior upgrades.

Ford readying three-row Edge for China

Fri, Nov 21 2014

The next-generation Ford Edge will be available with quite a growth spurt for its debut in China next year, with newly announced plans also to build and sell a three-row version exclusively in the People's Republic. However, markets outside of there likely won't see the larger model. Ford marketing boss (and future head of Ford of Europe) Jim Farley announced the three-row version of the crossover at the Los Angeles Auto Show, according to Automotive News. To create the extra room, Ford made the Chinese-built variant about 16 inches longer than its two-row counterpart. Farley didn't specify at which of the Blue Oval's plants in the country this model would be assembled. The Explorer and forthcoming Everest already offer three rows from the Ford lineup in China, but the company thinks the market can easily support all of them. According to Farley to Automotive News, the utility segment is up 485 percent in the country since 2008. Customers in the US can still look forward to the two-row Edge hitting dealers early next year. It'll be the first model in the Blue Oval's lineup here to come standard with EcoBoost power.

Ford considering return to Le Mans with new EcoBoost LMP2

Mon, 21 Jul 2014

If you want to see a Ford racing prototype, you need look no further than the United SportsCar Championship, where the Blue Oval fields two Daytona Prototypes powered by an EcoBoost-branded 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6. But according to the latest rumors, that may not be enough for Ford, which has as much brand to promote overseas as it does back home.
That could be why Racer magazine is reporting that Ford may be poised to return to Le Mans in the coming years. As we all know, Ford competed at Le Mans in the mid-through-late '60s, bringing home four consecutive overall wins with the legendary GT40. The new program would not, according to Racer, seek to relive those glory days, but would instead compete for class wins in the LMP2 category.
Currently, LMP2 regulations are somewhat split between the United SportsCar Championship in North America on the one hand and ACO-sanctioned series like the European Le Mans Series, Asian Le Mans Series and FIA World Endurance Championship on the other, but plans are underway for the regulations to be unified in time for the 2017 season. That could be when Ford is targeting its return, allowing it to compete on both sides of the Atlantic to maximize its exposure.
