This pickup could be your next daily driver.

What? When I first built this pickup I drove it almost 100 miles daily. It's been from my home in Longview WA to Santa Maria CA (West Coast Kustoms Cruisin Nationals) twice which is a 2000 mile round trip. On long highway trips like that it gets 18-19 miles per gallon. The pickup has been on the road since 2006 but was recently torn down for paint and to finish upholstery.

Wheels are 15" from a 1951 Plymouth. Fronts are stock (4 1/2") and rears were widened 1/2".
Front tires (B.F. Goodrich Silvertown 6.00 X 15) are new. Rear tires are Firestone Deluxe Champion 6.00 X 15 and are in great shape.
Engine was completely rebuilt. Bored .040 over, heads ported, RV grind on cam from Hot Heads, balanced and stock compression.
Carburetors are Holley 94s from Vintage Speed.
Electronic ignition.
Aluminum radiator
T5 Camero 5 speed transmission.
Front disk brakes.
Cab was chopped 5" and A pillars were laid back to give it a Bonneville/lakester look. Rear window wasn't chopped, just repositioned, floor was made from formed and fabricated 10 gauge steel.
Exhaust is 2 1/4" out the back with glasspacks.
Steering box is original but completely rebuilt. The old worm gear became the new shifter knob.
Original bed was shortened and new stake pockets added.
Bed cover was made from on old tin canopy.
Gas tank and Optima battery are in the bed.
Hood was pie cut to narrow the front; then nosed downwards to give the front end a nice rake.
Rodall Performance air cleaners.
All red upholstery is leather. Some paint transfer from doors are on the side of the seat bottoms.
Ashtray is from a 1935 Ford (rotating ball with V8 symbol embossed on outside).
Original frame with VIN easily seen. Makes licensing a lot easier.

FL man fatally shot after urging driver not to do donuts in a Mustang

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

Bradley Holt (pictured), the older half-brother of University of South Florida freshman quarterback Quinton Flowers, was killed in a random act of violence last week.
The 24-year-old Holt was throwing a football around with local kids in Allapattah, a neighborhood in Miami, when a yellow Mustang showed up and started doing donuts in the street. Holt, worried about kids playing in front his apartment complex, walked over to the driver and asked him why he was "driving so crazy with so many kids out here?"
The driver left. Holt's sister said the driver came back "about 15 to 20 minutes later" and fired two shots at Holt. One of them hit Holt in the back of the head, killing him.

Ford's Troller introduces even more rugged T4 SUVs in Sao Paulo

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

The Bronco may be long gone from Ford dealerships back home, but down in Brazil its spirit lives on in the Troller brand. Founded independently in 1995, Ford do Brasil took over Troller in 2007 and has been teasing us with its rough-and-tumble SUVs ever since. So with the Sao Paulo Motor Show coming up, Troller has revealed this special version of the T4.
Looking even more rugged than the existing three-door sport-ute, this special T4 packs a snorkel, winch, upgraded bumpers and knobbier tires. We're not sure what to make of the "sophisticated" brown and tan paint job, but send it north and the Jeep Wrangler would have a new challenger on its hands... especially since the Toyota FJ Cruiser was discontinued.
Alongside the version seen here, Troller will also exhibit another T4 outfitted for rescue workers. Scope out initial details of both in the press release below, enclosed in both its original Portuguese and auto-translated into English.

Ford reveals EcoBoost-powered Riley prototype for Daytona 24

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

It's not the first time Ford has participated in the Daytona Prototype class as an engine supplier, but in revealing this new EcoBoost V6-powered Riley Technologies prototype for the new United SportsCar Championship, Ford is making a statement: "We want to show Ford EcoBoost's capabilities as an engine that provides both performance and fuel economy, on and off the track," says Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing.
In addition to supplying the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, Ford had its production designer Garen Nicoghosian give the racecar brand-inspired design cues with support from Ford Racing chief aerodynamicist Bernie Marcus.
The car is scheduled to compete at next year's Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 25-26, but before that, Michael Shank Racing is working with Ford at another goal. Driving his Ford Thunderbird, NASCAR champion Bill Elliott set the track's top speed record at 210.364 miles per hour during a qualifying run for the Daytona 500 - way back in 1987 -- and Ford thinks it's about time for that record to fall. What better time the introduction of this new Ford-powered Daytona Prototype? Michael Shank Racing plans to use the twin-turbo V6-powered racer to beat Elliott's record, and it expects to begin prepping for the top-speed run on October 9.
