This is a project I HATE to sell but here it is... your chance to have the most unique rat around!

For starters is a late 40s cab. It has had 4 inches cut out of the bottom of the cab and doors to work with the custom frame from DPI Derby Parts. The side windows are gone, but the front and rear glass is usable. The patina on this cab is awesome and shows a few different colors through its years of wear. Dent wise it is fairly straight making for a great start to this unique creation. The floors still need finished

Frame. Was built to resemble a modified I-Beam using 1/4 inch by 3'' flat bar on the top and bottom then staggered 3 inch schedule 40 tubing and plates cut to fit were welded between to create a see though look running the length of the frame. The frame is narrow in the front to fit snug to a seriously cool 1935 Oldsmobile straight 8 257CI engine. At the firewall the frame splits and runs out to follow the outside of the door skins that can still be seen when the doors are shut! The rear section of the frame runs back straight and flat for an axle-over frame setup. The front frame section has been Z'd up almost 7 inches and mounts for the engine are welded in place. The frame is 90% done but still needs some welding as some sections are still just tacked and it needs some grinding to clean it up.

Engine. 1935 Oldsmobile Straight 8 out of the same year hurse. The engine was running in the car two years ago and was removed for a resto mod project where it was wrapped in several layers of plastic. It is 100% complete and turns freely. I have opened the valve covers on the side of the engine and everything looks beautiful. I have found and bought a NOS mechanical fuel pump for it that is an awesome piece of engineering and a new distributor cap. I also have three Holley 94 single barrel carbs for it that I was going to build a log intake for. I do still have the original exhaust and intake manifodls as well as the Stromberg 1bbl on it. The starter is still a 6v unit but can be converted to 12v, the generator will need rebuilt or replaced. The transmission is a three speed with the starter on the floor, it sat outside and is stuck but would be a simple rebuild as there is only a few bearings in it and quite simple.

The front axle is a '37 ford truck axle with a complete new Speedway front disc brake kit. I also have new radius arm bolts, steering arms, stop nuts that have not been installed yet. The rear axle is a ford 9 inch and I also have a complete disc brake conversion for it also. I have a set of straight rust free 17x4.5 1935 ford wire wheels and two sets of adapters from Rally America that mount the wire wheels on a disc brake conversion. I also have some cool old V8 stamped center caps for the wheels that are pretty dented up.

Here is a list of things I have that have not been mentioned that go with this truck

1932 STAINLESS grille shell

NEW QA1 big body shocks

NEW shock bractets

NEW vega steering box

New vega pitman arm

New speedway steering arms

Vintage 1940's Pyrene fire extinguisher ( Rad overflow)

front ford spring

NEW shock shackle kit

2 2009 cbr 600f4i rear coil over shocks/springs

18 gallon air tank from a semi trailer for fuel tank

This is the start to one of the most bad ass rides I could dream up. This truck is not far from being finished and I hate to sell it but need the money for an investment that cant wait. I do have an old bed that I believe is an international bed that is red that will be sold with the truck. I have 100's of pictures of the frame build that I can text. Just give me a call and I will answer any questions you may have. Good luck on a chance to win a special project!

New UAW boss Williams talks tough, vows 'no more concessions'

Sun, 08 Jun 2014

Dennis Williams, the newly elected president of the UAW, had some tough words for American automakers in his inauguration speech at the 2014 UAW Convention, striking down the possibility of any additional concessions from the 400,000-strong union.
"No more concessions. We are tired of it. Enough is enough," Williams said during his speech. UAW employees have not received a raise in nearly 10 years, according to Reuters.
Considering the recent strong results for Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, the union's demands are likely to carry a bit more weight in next year's negotiations. And considering Williams' tough stance, we could be in for some fireworks once negotiations commence.

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible to recreate Empire State Building stunt

Tue, 25 Mar 2014

It would have been all too easy to miss the auto show debut of the 2015 Ford Mustang convertible. It was, after all, unveiled alongside its fixed-roof counterpart at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, lumping coupe and cabrio into one debut. But Ford is evidently still intent on making its new droptop stand out. The top of the Empire State Building ought to do the trick.
Automotive history buffs may recall that, 50 years ago, Ford unveiled its first Mustang convertible atop what was then the tallest building in the world, that Art Deco icon of the New York skyline. Half a century later, Ford is recreating the feat and bringing the new topless Mustang to the same observation deck on the building's 86th floor.
Getting it up there, of course, will be no easy task. While they'd usually airlift the vehicle onto the roof or lift it by crane, the spire protruding from atop the building makes approaching the narrow observation deck too dangerous, and no mobile crane can telescope the thousand-plus feet it would take to get the pony car up there.

Lincoln Aviator could make a comeback

Tue, Jun 9 2015

The idea of Lincoln dropping its alphanumeric scheme in favor of real names was welcomed by fans of the marque and even appeared possible after the rousing reception to the Continental concept. Now, rumors suggest that the next of the luxury brand's nameplates to see a possible revival just might be the Aviator. Don't get your hopes up quite yet, though. The Truth About Cars admits that this tip comes from a second-hand source, but the person reports that Lincoln has a project codenamed Aviator as a model based on the Explorer. There's evidence to give the rumor some shaky support, though. Ford already has the trademarks for the name and AV8R. Also, an Explorer-based vehicle in 2019 is included for the brand's predictions in the recent Car Wars forecast. Autoblog reached out to company spokesperson Sam Locricchio, but he would not speculate about future products. The same source claims to The Truth About Cars that the Blue Oval might not replace the Ford Flex or Lincoln MKT when the current generations come to an end. Also, the next-gen Expedition and Navigator could use 10-speed automatics and follow the F-150 to get aluminum bodies, which is also already rumored. Although, all of this should be taken with a big grain of salt until anything more official has arrived. Lincoln spokesperson Stephane Cesareo gave The Truth About Cars no comment on the rumor, but said, "By 2020, we expect to expand the segments that we participate in by adding two new nameplates to the Lincoln brand. We have not provided any indications about the products or their names." Related Video:
