I REMOVED THE ENGINE AND HAD IT PROFESSIONALLY REBUILT (See pics of engine coming out).

THE PAINT JOB IS ABOUT 5 YEARS OLD AND IT STILL HOLDS A NICE SHINE. I RECENTLY HAD A PROFESSIONAL PAINTER TOUCH UP A FEW FLAWS IN THE PAINT. INCLUDED WITH THE CAR ARE BOTH CANS OF COMPUTERIZED MATCHED BLUE AND WHITE PAINT.  

HEY, CHECK OUT THE ' 56 MERCURY PAINT COLOR  DIVIDER STAINLESS STEEL TRIM I ADDED JUST UNDER THE FRONT AND REAR WINDOWS (see pics of painting). THIS TRIM IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE, BUT IT ADDS SUCH A NICE TOUCH TO THE '56 VICKY AS DOES THE ORIGINAL "DOG DISH" F O R D HUBCAPS AND BEAUTY RINGS. (I have two of the original full wheel Ford hubcaps) 

I ADDED NEW CORRECT OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS, NEW CORRECT ANTENNA, NEW STONE GUARDS ON THE FENDER SKIRTS, NEW TRUNK EMBLEM BEZEL, NEW "FAIRLANE" HOOD SCRIPT, NEW TRUNK MAT,  CORRECT ORIGINAL SPARE TIRE RETAINER AND WING NUT, NEW HEATER CORE, THE RADIATOR WAS SENT OUT AND RESTORED, 4 NEW RADIAL WIDE WHITEWALLTIRES. THE ORIGINAL AM RADIO IS THE DESIRED "TOWN & COUNTRY STYLE. THERE IS ALSO IS AN AFTER MARKET AM/FM RADIO WITH DUAL REAR SPEAKERS GIVING THE VICKY SOME COOL TUNES.

THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS SOLID AND ABSOLUTLY NO RUST. I HAVE NOT DETAILED TOO MUCH OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE BUT I DID PAINT A COAT OF POR-15 CHASSIC FENDER BLACK PAINT ON THE BUMPER BRACKETS, FRAME, CROSS MEMBERS, AND AND LEAF SPRINGS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE REBUILT ENGINE DOES NOT LEAK A DROP OF OIL ! 

MY RESERVE IS LOW ENOUGH TO ALLOW PLENTY OF $$ ROOM TO DETAIL THE UNDERCARRIAGE CORRECTLY AND REPLACE THE VENT WINDOWS.

I HAVE DONE MY BEST TO BRING THIS VICTORIA BACK TO IT'S ORGINAL BEAUTY OF YESTERYEAR

I CAN BE REACHED AT 757-620-7733, Thanks for looking, Charlie

Ford, GM to collaborate on 9- and 10-speed transmissions

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

Back in October, there were reports that General Motors and Ford Motor Company were hard at work co-developing new nine- and ten-speed automatic transmissions, and now both automakers have confirmed this joint operation. While there are no specific vehicles mentioned to receive either transmission, a collaborative press release issued by GM and Ford mention that the transmission will be designed for front- and rear-wheel-drive cars, crossovers, trucks and SUVs.
These aren't the first powertrain components developed jointly between these cross-town rivals, either. The six-speed automatic currently used in vehicles like the Ford Edge, Ford Fusion, Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Equinox was engineered in a similar fashion. As is the case with this existing transmission, both automakers will assist in the design, development and testing of the new transmissions, but each will build its own units in its own factories. Scroll down for the official press release.

Ford Mustang GT Bi-Fuel CNG

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

Highly intrigued, we recently visited a Southern California Gas Company office to check out several hybrid vehicles promising something new. Unlike more commonplace gasoline-electric hybrids, we were there to evaluate innovative gasoline-compressed natural gas (CNG) hybrids - yes, they run on unleaded gasoline and compressed natural gas. According to the experts on hand, this arrangement delivers extended range and reduced emissions while chipping in with lower operating costs than pure-gasoline vehicles. There are advantages over its gasoline-electric counterparts, as well.
The program is part of a three-way collaboration between The Carlab, a Southern California-based automotive consulting firm, Landi Renzo USA, a company specializing in alternative fuel solutions, and America's Natural Gas Alliance, a group that promotes CNG. Long story short, the team has engineered a way to allow a modified internal combustion vehicle to seamlessly switch between two fuels (gasoline and CNG) with no driver intervention. In theory, and if it works as well as promised, it's a win-win for the vehicle owner and the environment.
Parked at the Gas Company office were six different gasoline-CNG hybrid vehicles. To demonstrate the technology's versatility (just about any gasoline vehicle may be modified) Carlab brought a varied assortment of bodystyles, each from a different automaker. After taking a quick glance at the half-dozen in the parking lot, we made a beeline for the performance-oriented Ford Mustang GT - a 2012 model - with the six-speed manual gearbox.
