Selling my 23 T Bucket project. I've been collecting parts for this for over 10 years and I just don't have the room to store it anymore so its time to let it go. Here is a list of what is included-
Fiberglass T Bucket body with short bed glassed to tub. Plywood floor is glassed in already and body is channeled over frame rails. Body is pretty old and dirty and has some dings in the gelcoat but should finish up nice. Has an older chrome windshield frame in fair condition and a new spun aluminum gas tank in the bed.
Frame is a professionally built and made from 2x4 box tubing. Currently has a late 40's Ford truck axle in front and a late 70's Bronco Dana 44 rear axle in back. Axles are mocked up as a roller to move the car. Both have drum brakes that will need rebuilt. Has a reversed Corvair steering box and linkages to hook it up. Has older 70's style chrome wheels with new but older Dunlop tires that are in nice shape.
Also have a full chrome front and rear suspension setup with Carerra coil overs and a chrome leaf spring in front. Axle for this setup is a chrome tube style and I have 53 Chevy Bel Air spindles for it with a new kingpin kit to install them. No brakes with this setup but disc brake kits are readily available for the Bel Air spindles.
Motor is a good rebuildable Chevy 350 with a 4160 Holley carb and older Weiand stealth manifold in fair condition but useable. I pulled one of the heads on the motor to check the bore and it is nice. Will probably need gone through but is a great core to start with. Has older chrome valve covers and some chrome dress up parts for the front drive. Also have a new timing chain set for it.
Trans is an older turbo 400 and was rebuilt in the 80's and never used. Should be good to go since its been inside since it was rebuilt. Also have a short drive shaft to hook it up to the Dana 44.
Set of chrome long tube T Bucket headers that are new but will need polished from sitting. They should clean up really nice though.
Have some wiring and a set of headlights in fair condition that should work good. Also some other small light parts too.
Brand new Walker T Bucket radiator with a 23 fiberglass grille shell and electric fan. Also a polished overflow tank and a repro Boyce Motometer cap that is new and nice.
A decent set of fiberglass fenders. One is slightly warped from storage but will straighten out nice when mounted. They are pretty old and I don't know if they even make these anymore.
Also a whole box of miscellaneous small parts and brackets, shifters, brake parts, and lots of nuts and bolts.
If you have been looking to build one of these you know how much it costs just to get this many parts together. My starting price is less than half of what it would cost to buy this stuff new. Car is located outside Cleveland Ohio at my shop if you would like to set up an appointment to see it. Car would probably fit in the back of a long bed truck or a 10' or longer trailer. I can't ship it though due to the amount of loose parts. Car does not have a title since it is considered a kit car but I will provide winning bidder with a detailed bill of sale for titling purposes. $500 deposit through Paypal due within 24 hours of auction end. Car must be picked up and paid in full within 7 days of auction end. No reserve so winning bid takes it home!

2015 Ford Expedition stays the course, adds EcoBoost power
Tue, 18 Feb 2014The era of the body-on-frame, fullsize SUV is rapidly vanishing in favor of smaller, unibody crossovers. However, Ford still sees life in the segment with the reveal of the updated 2015 Expedition, now available (solely) with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. The new truck will make its public debut at the 2014 DFW Auto Show in Dallas on February 19.
The loss of the previous 5.4-liter V8 in favor of Ford's 3.5-liter, direct-injected, twin-turbocharged V6 engine might rankle some of the Expedition's fans, but Ford claims that the change gives the SUV better fuel economy, more power and increased low-end torque than before. Unfortunately, official engine specifications won't be released until later this year, but Ford says engine output will be similar to the 365 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque that this powerplant produces in other applications. The EcoBoost is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, and the SUV now uses electrically assisted power steering, for an even greater fuel economy advantage. Ford claims this also allows for better maneuverability at low speeds and better feel at high speeds.
Exterior styling is basically unchanged for 2015. The front end has the same three-bar chrome grille and headlight design, but the lower air dam gets added chrome and LED lamps. The rear gets more brightwork on the hatch, and there's a chrome-tipped exhaust pipe. As before, Ford is offering the Expedition in two wheelbase lengths - 119 inches and 131 inches. A new, optional, continuously controlled damping system alters suspension settings constantly based on 46 parameters and offers comfort, normal and sport modes (just like the Expedition's sister, the recently refreshed and decidedly less-attractive Lincoln Navigator).

Martin Smith retires, Joel Piaskowski in as Ford Europe design chief
Thu, 29 May 2014The mind behind the look of much of the modern Ford global range is retiring. Martin Smith, Head of Ford Design in Europe, will give up his position on July 1 and will leave the company altogether at the end of the year. He will be replaced by current Strategic Concepts Group leader Joel Piaskowski (pictured above).
Smith has led Ford of Europe design for the past 10 years, and he was partially responsible for the brand's Kinetic Design language with a large grille and swept-back headlights found on the Focus, Fiesta and C-Max, as well as several other vehicles abroad. After stepping down on July 1 until his retirement at the end of 2014, Smith will work on a project to decide the future direction of the company's look with Moray Callum, its vice president of design.
Piaskowski already has some impressive credentials in terms of automotive design as well. He joined Ford in 2010 as director of exterior design and led the teams responsible for the 2015 Ford Mustang and next-generation F-150. He was also previously design director at Ford Asia Pacific. Before working at the Blue Oval, Piaskowski held positions at Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and General Motors. Scroll down to read the complete announcement of this changing of the guard.
