Here we have our 1926 Ford Model T sedan Custom build. Lets start right off by saying this is a right hand drive street/hot rod/rat rod! Now ur thinking it will be very difficult to drive a right hand drive vehicle! Wrong!! Everyday postal carriers drive right hand drive vehicles and most of Europe drives right hand drive vehicles! If they can do it so can U!!! It has a custom built steel tubing chassis with a 4in Z in the front and a 15in Z in the rear. With 4 link rear suspension with a coil over shock system. In front we have a ford model a suicide style front axle with model B wish bones spilt with tie rod ends and custom built friction shocks. Also included in the front suspension is a factory Corvair Aluminum steering gear with a new 360deg pitman arm from Speedway Motors. Front spindles are factory ford 37-48 with a new Speedway Motors disc brake kit and a 2in raised steering arm. The body is an original steel Henry Ford 1926 Model T Sedan. It was in excellent cond before the custom body work was done. It has an 8in chop with the rear window being sectioned flipped and chopped 6in. the Visor is completely custom made as is the windshield header panel and the windshield still hinges and swings out. The roof is a custom cut Hickory hand scraped hardwood floor. Mounted down with over 30 polished brass acorn nuts. The cowl has also has a length of factory style hood welting that has been laid in place with more polished brass acorn nuts and house’s the original 11 gallon gas tank. And to continue with the brass theme both door handles have been buffed to remove most plating to show there brass and copper construction and both radiator support rods are polished solid brass rods. The radiator shell is from a 1924 Durant Star and has been ornamented with the radiator cap topper from an 8n ford tractor. The radiator is a new Champion 2 core aluminum and has a new 16in electric fan mounted to back side to keep the performance 350 Chevy motor cool. The motor has a new water pump! New Fuel pump! New Hi torque starter and a Mercruiser one wire hi amp alternator. The ignition system is a new pro comp stand alone distributor with high voltage coil. The plug wires are 8mm from summit racing. The Holley carburetor is a 600 cfm and was rebuilt by us and works great. The new reproduction caddy/olds air cleaner sets off the look of the motor off along with the satin black Chevrolet tall valve covers. The exhaust is giving the car that fast racing look! They are sprint car style headers and have built in mufflers and are covered in a nice header wrap. Now for the transmission. It’s a Chevy turbo 350 with a 2400 stall convertor and shifted into gear via a custom made shifter. (see pics) the rear end is a 1970 Buick skylark single track 10 bolt with a low 3 series gear. The tire’s are new Coker Classic 6:00/16s mounted on Ford model B wire wheels with original Ford beauty rings. The center caps are new Aftermarket.

They are filled with new Tri Bar Amber turn signal headlights. Now lets go into the interior. The seats are custom made from sheet steel and have padded inserts. Now the Dash. This is a rare part here! It is from a 1934 Huppmobile 3 window coupe model W136. Few of these cars were made and even the fewer still exists. We filled all the holes on the middle of the dash and moved the glove box door to the left side of the car. Then we filled the factory holes in the center of dash then mounted VDO classic style speedo/temp/oil pressure gauges. There is a airplane style toggle for the ignition and a hidden key switch under the dash beside the steering column. Mounted to the steering column is the turn signal switch and horn button. All glass in the sedan has been replaced with new laminated safety glass. All side windows door and qrt glass still crank up and down. I am sure somewhere in here I have forgot something so if u have any questions please just ask! U can call or txt me at 260-715-1880. I do have this listed locally and I could end the auction at any time. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla details factory expansion; Ford and SunPower raise money for Sierra Club
Thu, Nov 20 2014Tesla has revealed the details of the upgrade of its Fremont, CA factory. One major change is the addition of a dedicated production space for the dual-motor P85D version of the Model S. Robots will be doing the battery installation on the Model S to save some time, and new export docks allow Tesla to get the cars out the door and on the way to their new owners more quickly. The new robots that move the cars around the factory have been named after X-Men characters, which makes our inner geeks smile. Check out the factory upgrade in the time-lapse video below and read more at Teslarati or at the Tesla Motors Blog. A program in Beijing for privileged registrations for EVs hasn't had much success. Of the 1,424 lottery winners, only about 30 percent went on to register an electric car despite a two-month extension of the deadline to do so. Buyers are likely discouraged by the lack of charging infrastructure, which the city hopes to ameliorate with the addition of 1,000 new charging stations by the end of the year, and by requiring new and renovated developments to set aside parking specifically for EV charging. Read more at Green Car Reports. The UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies suggests that laws designed to protect dealers and consumers are stymieing the adoption of EVs. Laws like the ones certain states have in place that block or otherwise restrict Tesla's direct-to-consumer business model are not helpful for companies that want to introduce new products to the market. They prevent companies from passing on savings to customers for whom they would likely make the difference in a purchasing decision. One possible solution would be to allow exemptions to certain selling restrictions for a certain number of vehicles sold. "This could give automakers the degree of control needed to work out kinks with early customers, develop scalable processes for supporting PEVs, and ensure that effective dealer performance standards are in place before handing the reins over to wholly independent retailers," according to UC Davis ITS. Read more at the UC Davis website. Volkswagen says its environmental program, called "Think Blue. Factory," is meeting the automaker's own sustainability targets. The main purpose of the program is to move toward eco-friendlier carmaking at each of its plants worldwide.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
2013 Ford F-150 Limited
Mon, 28 Jan 2013The Ford F-150 received yet another new model for the 2013 model year, the Limited trim, bringing the ways you can order this country's most popular vehicle to a grand total of 10. There really is an F-150 to suit any need now, and the Limited variant slots in at the very top of the range, above the already pampering Platinum model.
While normally I would admit that I'm the least-appropriate person to test a pickup, the fact that this particular trim places a much higher premium on luxury than anything with a bed and Blue Oval badge before it means that I don't need the workman chops of a skilled tradesman to judge how well this truck meets its true aim.
