Drivers side drum is shot with hole in it. See pictures. The back of the frame doesn't look bad from what i can see but the front core support member needs help or maybe can't be fixed but included is a front core support frame section that i cut out of a 1963 1/2 galaxie xl frame.                                                                                                                                                     I will also be installing the rear end and  regular rear springs from that same XL frame to make this a roller.  It wasn't till October that 427 cars got 31 spline axles and this one is a 28 spline so it  would be correct for 427 early cars which this one is.  It still has the door jam tag and cal tags attached and a clean Oregon title. It decodes as. Body= 63 B is 2 door fast back,Color = 1, Gold metallic or better known as champagne, Trim/interior = 95 is Red Red, Date is 12 C = March 12 1963, DSO is 71 = Las Angles, Axel  is 9= 4:11 gears, Trans is 5 = 4 speed trans. Vin # is 3J66R150606.  It also has a NHRA ?championship or national record holder sticker on the drivers side inter fender well. Most of the sticker is currently missing.It also has a Honolulu police sticker police saying this is a reconstructed car on the pass side front window. See pictures.                                                                             Also an alarm sticker. Did the car get stolen and had to be rebuilt. Or is this one of 12 gold light weight cars that got rebuilt with regular parts after it crashed??? I wish i knew the stories it could tell about those 411 gears and how many people say its tail lights at the end of the run???? It appears it might have ran with skinny tires on 15x7 us slot mags that i will have on the front of the car with newer 165 /15 tires that hold air. The wheels have patina like they lived there for 40 or more years.                                                                                                                                 Then there is the special seat belts that were only in the front but that say Superior ind model 985????? Were they race car  seat belts???Not included in sale!!!  And how many cars were ordered with 411 rear ends and for what use????? I wish it could talk and tell me stories!!!!  If any one knows what car it was please help me id it. It came back to the mainland to Portland Oregon and with its friend a light weight car that was thought to be Bonhams car that now houses the original engine trans and rear end out of this car. ? I think it might have some race history and if you know it does please help if not for the car but the people of Hawaii this could be a national treasure not junk!! License number AXX 191 aloha state.                                                                                                                                                                                                           Don't laugh to much! These cars are getting hard to find and people have been known to re body these and with all the proper drive train it is still a R code car in my book. ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING PLEASE!!!!

1969 Ford Talladega GPT Special is a SEMA showstopper

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

Rad Rides by Troy has unleashed upon the SEMA crowds this custom 1969 Ford Torino Talladega GT Special, and it's a beauty. The car calls to mind the classic Holman Moody stock cars that circled NASCAR tracks in the late 1960's, driven by the likes of Mario Andretti, Dan Gurney and David Pearson, who won the Grand National title in both 1968 and '69 in a Ford Torino.
Even though it has plenty of stock-car influence, there's nothing retro about the car's design or powertrain, other than the fact that the engine is based on a Ford Boss 429 block. Fuel injection, aftermarket aluminum heads and a high-tech custom computer system combine to send 750 reliable ponies to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. Brakes measure 14-inches all around, with six-piston Wilwood calipers up front and four-piston units out back.
There's custom bodywork abound, painted in a two-tone Tennessee Whiskey Gold and Daytona Sand finish. Check out all the amazing details in the image gallery below, and scroll down to read all about it in designer Troy Trepanier's own words.

Ford, GM still doing new business with Takata amidst airbag crisis

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. You might expect automakers to be fleeing any connection with beleaguered supplier Takata in the wake of the company's exploding airbag inflator crisis. After all, with a Senate hearing, pending lawsuit, plummeting stock value and demand for a national recall, the tier-one supplier isn't at its strongest right now. However, years of cooperation mean that automakers are standing by Takata, and necessity may be playing a role, as well. About 39 percent of Takata's business comes from airbags, and seatbelts make up another significant chunk of the operation too, says Bloomberg. The long-term relationships and lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. "Takata has so much product breadth that I don't really see that they could just disappear," said AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan to Bloomberg. For example, Takata helped develop the unique front center airbag with General Motors in models like the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Outside of safety tech, it is also a partner with Ford on the adaptive steering system available on the upcoming 2015 Edge. These long-lasting partnerships make change difficult now that there's a problem. According to Reuters, automakers claim it would take a year or longer to set up with a different supplier for replacement airbag inflators. Switching to a completely different part for the repairs might not be a viable option either, because of the engineering time needed. BMW is taking action, though. According to Reuters, the Bavarian brand is working with the supplier to move inflator production from Monclova, Mexico, to a Takata factory in Freiburg, Germany. The Mexican plant may be the source of some of the faulty parts. News Source: Bloomberg, ReutersImage Credit: Jens Meyer / AP Photo BMW Ford GM Safety Takata airbag recall

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
