Here is a Chop Top 1953 Ford Truck that is an older build with newer upgrades done to it. It has about a 4 inch chop. This baby is ALL FORD!! It has a good running 351 Cleveland engine connected to a 3 speed automatic transmission. This 351 has Noisy Gears in it instead of timing chain so it sounds kind of like it has a blower. It is painted kind of a flat White exterior color with hand painted pin stripping done on the tailgate, hood and doors. The body is decent but NOT A SHOW TRUCK. There is some filler that you can tell it has but again it's not a $25,000 truck. There have been some modifications done to it. It has a 54 Model front grill. The hood opens forward and has latch pins to keep hood tight. The rear is a 9 inch Ford. The tires are 235/60/15 in front and 285/70/15 on rear. The rear has been shortened some to allow are a wider tire. The bed has is wood and has been painted black. It has a cover over the bed with the battery in the bed as well as the fuel cell. The interior is good but dated somewhat. It has bucket seats with a console in the center and a B&M shifter. The gauges have been changed to Dolphin Gauges and they all appear to work except the volt gauge. Speedo works as does gas, oil pressure and temp gauge. It has a chrome billet steering wheels. The windows rolls up and down easy. This is by no means a perfect truck but a good truck for the money.

This truck is also For Sale locally and on other sites so auction could end early. It is being sold AS IS with no warranty given or implied in anyway. Pre Sale inspections are always welcomed and encouraged so you will know exactly what you are getting. This truck is being sold with a current Georgia registration as Georgia WILL NOT issue a title on a vehicle this Georgia. Georgia was a Non title state till 1987 and does not require a title on vehicles older than that. Don't worry though cause with the paperwork I give you you can get a title in your state. Any questions please ask. Don't ask the reserve please. This truck I feel is PRICED TO SELL!!

How that awesome Mustang R/C car chase vid was made

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

We've reported on a few R/C car chase videos in the past. One in particular that stands out as a favorite is Zach King's "The Cliché RC Action Chase." It featured a pair of Ford Mustang coupes racing through a cardboard city, plowing into outdoor patios and busting through construction zones. It was wonderfully creative and fun to watch, yet we know there was more to its creation than a bunch of guys fooling around with a camera one afternoon.
Turns out we were right, as evidenced by this video produced by Ford that takes us behind the scenes of Zach's creation. The young filmmaker explains why he chose the Mustang to star in his video, as well as how the cardboard sets were created, what equipment they used for shooting and what it was like when his video went viral. Ford found the young filmmaker and produced the followup as part of its Mustang Countdown video series, which will see a new video about the Mustang culture released every week until the original muscle car's anniversary on April 17, 2014.
Want to make an RC chase video of your own? Yeah, we do too. Watch the behind-the-scenes video below (you can refresh yourself on the mini feature film, too) before you get started.

Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems

Sun, 10 Mar 2013

The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.

Are you the next Ford Edge? [UPDATE]

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

What looks to be the next Ford Edge has been leaked in an apparent corporate Powerpoint presentation deck. Despite the thumbnail image's blurry and pixelated quality, it appears as if the next generation crossover will be staying close to its current aesthetic despite an all-new front clip with redesigned grille, headlamps, and lower fascia with integrated fog lights.
The upscale-minded Blue Oval CUV is due for a redesign in 2015, having just received a mid-cycle refresh for 2011. It isn't clear what changes lie beneath the new skin, either in terms of mechanicals or interior refinement, but we suspect Ford will be looking to put some distance between the next generation model and the new Escape, which is suddenly much more car-like and not that far off the more expensive Edge in terms of overall size, power or refinement.
UPDATE: Substituted clearer image - thanks, Sean!
