1927 ford hot rod roadster . this is a fresh build with less than 500 miles on it . it has a 1966 283 SBC motor with lots of vintage speed equipment. 2 holley ford script carbs on top of the vintage speed adapter mounted to the early edelbrock TM1 mid rise intake . cal custom finned valve covers , edelbrock aluminum water pump , lots of CHROME (pulleys) and high volume mellings oil pump inside the CHROME oil pan , engine makes awesome oil pressure and is tight and trouble free.there is an early black top mallory dual point unit for ignition . there is a brand new CHROME powermaster high output alternator and a set of brand new polished stainless steel lakes style headers . TH 350 trans has a nice shift kit in it and shifts hard like it is supposed to ! there is a new CHROME lokar tall nostalgia shifter mounted to the trans . the front suspension is a CHROME dropped tube axle with CHROME spindles and CHROME shocks with CHROME backing plates and CHROME drums attached to a CHROME spring with CHROME steering arm and CHROME tie rod and CHROME hairpin radius rods . the rear suspension is CHROME coil overs mounted to a CHROME 57 chevy rear end with CHROME hair pin radius rods and CHROME backing plates and CHROME drums . you get the theme here ???....THIS CAR HAS SHOW CHROME EVERYWHERE the body is a deluxe body from speedway with a functional driver door . we installed a wood and steel skeleton in the body to prevent it from moving around at all and this body is tight . the windshield stanchions are polished aluminum smoothy units from speedway and the glass is a light tinted bronze to go well with the creamy wimbledon white paint on the body . the interior is heavy commercial grade black marine vinyl professionally installed ina real cool custom pattern that screams 60's show car with the bottom half being pleated and the top being smooth and the same theme brought into the seat pattern but flopped like they did it back in the day . all stainless marine quality fasteners were used to install it and it really adds to the overall look of the car .
this car gets a ton of attention , Chuck Vranas from street rodder magazine was shooting pics like crazy at the last show it was at . it will most definitely be seen in Street Rodder magazine when the show coverage from the Syracuse nationals is published in the mag. there were people crawling around under this thing and going crazy looking at all of the CHROME at the show . killer car at a killer price , you could not buy all of the parts used on this car for the reserve price . try paying some one to prep and chrome a 57 chevy rear end . HUH !!! that alone would be close to 3k drums and backing plates as smooth as a babies bottom would cost close to 1k to chrome etc.etc. there is over 5k in chrome alone here .there is countless hours of prep work in these parts to chrome them making it nearly un affordable for most people but the guy that originally chromed these parts owned a chrome shop in western NY so money wasn't an issue as far as that goes . good luck and happy bidding . i will send by text or email any additional pics that you may want or discuss any details of this build with anyone interested , just message me here with your phone number and i will call or text you as soon as i get a chance . i am not interested in low ball offers this a cool car to be stuck with for a while so i am not going to entertain any ignorant offers at all . i would consider swapping equal value hot rods so if you have an offer send me info to striptzer at g mail
thanx

2015 Ford Focus Electric hides in plain sight
Wed, 16 Apr 2014The styling changes to the 2015 Ford Focus were shown off at the recent Geneva Motor Show, so what the EV version looks like is not that much of a surprise. Still, the 2015 Focus Electric is making its world debut here at the New York Auto Show, so we wanted to know what changes we are looking at compared to both the internal combustion engine version and the earlier EV models.
The exterior visual distinctions between the ICE and EV are minimal, and basically nonexistent from the A-pillar to the rear. Up front, you can see the charge port, of course, but the front fascia has also undergone a bit of an adjustment. The front doesn't have the ICE version's flattened grille and the EV's Ford logo creates a bump in the hood line where none exists on the ICE. The 2015's grille is also different than the one on the 2014 Focus Electric, being slightly smaller (you can see this better if you compare pictures in our new gallery above to these of the 2011 Focus Electric and these of the gas-powered 2015 Focus).
The updated 2015 interior - which we couldn't access ourselves - has things like a new center stack, improved cupholders and is basically identical between the gas and electric models. With the car off, you can't even tell if you're in an EV or ICE, Seema Bardwaj, the US brand manager for the Focus, told AutoblogGreen. The only things that are different, she said, are extra menu screens to show EV powertrain information to the driver.
Preserving automotive history costs big bucks

$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
Ford adds 850 jobs to build 2015 F-150
Tue, 14 Oct 2014Pickup trucks tend not to advance at quite the same pace as the rest of the industry. That's what makes the new Ford F-150 so remarkable, jettisoning its old steel construction in favor of aluminum. It's a game changer that Ford is betting big on, and in anticipation of surging demand, the Blue Oval automaker is adding 850 new jobs to put the thing together.
Those 850 new employees will be centered at Ford's Rouge complex in Michigan - with 300 at Dearborn Stamping, 50 more at Dearborn Diversified and 500 at the Dearborn Truck facility, the latter of which has already kicked off what Ford describes as "the largest manufacturing transformation in decades." Old manufacturing equipment is being replaced with the latest technologies, and even the Ford Rouge Factory Tour is undergoing a complete overhaul.
The new jobs come as part of the commitments Ford made to the UAW in 2011 to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the United States by 2015 - a number which Ford has already exceeded at 14,000. Over 4,000 of those are centered in southeastern Michigan.
