Ford F-100 Shortbed Patina Pickup Lowered Vintage Fuller on 2040-cars
Atlanta, Georgia, United States
"Patina Turner" was bought in February this year and I had planned on driving it through the winter. Plans change however as I have found a rare motorcycle to buy....hence she's got to go. My loss is your gain.
Check out our other work at fullerhotrods.com as we are a professional build shop located in Atlanta, GA. We can help you find transport if necessary. We started by stripping everything and pressure washing the entire pickup. Bedliner spray was then shot inside the cab and under the vehicle. Sound deadening was added throughout the interior which makes for a nice quiet comfortable ride even in the Atlanta heat. New windshield, side glasses, and rubber was professionally installed throughout the cab. American Autowire kit was used to completely rewire the pickup from end to end. Gas tank hot tanked and new sender installed. Most gauges work including the fuel, temp, ammeter, and oil pressure. New Fuel Pump. 302 engine came with the truck but we rebuilt most of the common items. New Aluminum Edelbrock Manifold, 4 barrel carb, Alternator, Belts, Hoses, Griffin Radiator cools awesome! Headers are connected to the TIG welded Magnaflow 2.5" Stainless exhaust that runs through the bed sides...Sounds bitchin! Rumbly but not too loud. New Driveshaft U joints were added and balanced underneath. Lowering Arms in the front are used with new bushings. New Drum brakes throughout including dual master cylinder for more safety. E brake works. New Shocks and limiter straps in the rear. Wheels are RARE Accelco Aluminum wheels from Richmond California with Coker whitewall American Classics. 15" X 7" look awesome and you probably will never see another set. Stainless lug nuts. Much of the Patina is real and some is faked by an Atlanta set painter. No title, bill of sale only. For sale locally so I may pull if that happens. I have driven this car daily for the last couple months so we know its reliable now. Starts everytime and is just a ball to ride in. Gonna miss this one! |

Ford Mustang hit by Moore' Oklahoma's EF5 tornado lives to do another burnout
Fri, 07 Jun 2013Oklahoma recently saw the destructive power of an EF5 tornado, but in the aftermath of the devastation, we've also been witness to the incredible resilience of the human spirit. Moore, OK resident Jack Haden survived the storm but found that his 2003 Ford Mustang wasn't quite as lucky. As you can see in the image above, the tornado's 200+ mph winds did quite a number on the car, but while most people would have likely called their insurance company and scrapped the car, Haden had other plans.
After finding the car and seeing that its V6 still fired up, Haden spent a couple hours getting the car, um... roadworthy(?)... by removing the doors and front clip, cutting off the roof and putting on some new wheels and tires. He noticed that driving it around brought some comic relief to an area that needed a reason to laugh and smile. Check out the KSBI TV news report video below showing before and after pictures of the tough 'Stang, as well as a video showing the newly lightweight coupe doing a smoky burnout.
2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost
Fri, 09 May 2014I'll be honest; when Ford first unveiled its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, I was skeptical. Past attempts at building turbocharged American cars were almost universally awful, I reasoned, so why would Ford's latest effort be any different? This may seem foolish today, considering the success that the growing EcoBoost range has achieved - particularly the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter mills. Yet I once again found myself questioning Ford.
It's the makeup of the 1.0-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder slotted into the compact engine bay of this Fiesta that has a way of breeding doubt. Three-cylinder engines remain an extreme rarity in the US. What's more, they earned a less-than-desirable reputation for applications in the 1980s and 1990s, and my trepidation about this latest three-pot as a result.
As I found out, though, history is a poor informant of modern technology. The thrust available in other cars with the EcoBoost badge on the back has not gone missing here; something the International Engine of the Year committee has lauded. That august body named the 1.0-liter Ecoboost the best engine of 2012 and 2013. After a week of driving, it didn't take long for my fear of threes to get turned into something like that line of thinking.
BMW V8-powered Ford Model A is the definition of Hot Rod
Thu, 20 Jun 2013Today, hotrodding has a pretty staid definition. Take one classic American car, add one classic American V8, sprinkle with tire smoke and you pretty much have every hot rod to roll out of a shop in the last 40 years. Mike Borroughs knows it wasn't always this way. Once upon a time, getting your bucket to go faster meant grabbing whatever parts were lazing about the yard, bolting them together with a bit of ingenuity and laughing your way down the quarter mile. It's in that spirit that Burroughs built his 1928 Ford Model A.
Rather than turn to the tired flathead or the common Chevrolet small block, Burroughs plucked a 4.0-liter V8 from a 1995 BMW 7 Series. With 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, the engine has no trouble shuffling the old A around town. He had to build a custom chassis to get everything to cooperate, but the result is a 1,500-pound heathen that looks built to harass dry lake beds. You can check it out in the video below. Be warned, the soundtrack by Hanni el Khatib may not be safe for work - awesomeness of this caliber rarely is.
