This F100 has been a Kansas truck its entire life. Purchased new by the local hardware store, it delivered appliances around the area for nearly 25 years. Then Bobby Spiva bought it for trips to and from his fishing hole. I bought it from Bobby in 1998 and used it for running around the backcountry of Southeast Kansas. After a couple of years the original six cylinder engine broke and things radically changed in the life of my F100 Unibody. 

This is a frame-up professionally built driver. I was the designer, cheerleader and banker. Jodie Stout (ASE certified) engineered and executed the mechanical and electrical modifications. Chuck Miller spent over three years on the body restoration, custom modifications and paint. 

Total mileage since the build is just over 6,500. I’ve taken this F100 to the gulf coast a couple of times. The truck has gobs of power, stops on a dime, rides unbelievably well and is completely reliable.

Shelby GT500 and Roush Stage 3 go head to head at the drag strip

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

The Ford Mustang is a brilliantly affordable source of horsepower, with a base 300-plus-horsepower version available for well under $30,000. Jumping up to about $35,000 will get you a solid 420 horsepower from a high-revving V8, while those with some extra disposable income can get a pair of 600-plus-horsepower monsters. Both the Roush Stage 3 with its Phase 3 package and Ford's factory Shelby GT500 even crest the 650-horsepower mark, with 675 and 662 ponies, respectively.
Naturally, someone needed to find out which of these hi-po Mustangs was the quickest. And while this video is quite obviously a dealership commercial, at least there's some solid drag racing between two of the most powerful performance machines available for under $100,000.
With two NHRA drag racers at the wheel, the Stage 3 and GT500 go head to head for three races. Scroll down below to see the results in the full video.

Ford hiring 2,200 salaried US workers this year

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

With its influx of popular new products made in the US, Ford Motor Company has announced that it intends to hire 2,200 new salaried workers domestically this year. This is the biggest increase of salaried workers for Ford in the last 10 years, and it is all a part of Ford's contract commitment to the United Auto Workers union to bring 12,000 new jobs to the US by 2015.
There were no specifics as to where in the US these job openings will be, but Ford did reiterate that it will be spending $773 million on equipment upgrades and capacity expansion at six plants located in southeast Michigan; as a whole, Ford is investing a total of $6.2 billion to its US assembly plants over the next couple years. According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software. Ford will post its job openings online at careers.ford.com, and it will also use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to recruit new workers, including military veterans.
