The roof is a custom cut Hickory hand scraped hardwood floor. Mounted down with over 30 polished brass acorn nuts. The cowl has also has a length of factory style hood welting that has been laid in place with more polished brass acorn nuts and house’s the original 11 gallon gas tank. And to continue with the brass theme both door handles have been buffed to remove most plating to show there brass and copper construction and both radiator support rods are polished solid brass rods. The radiator shell is from a 1924 Durant Star and has been ornamented with the radiator cap topper from an 8n ford tractor. The radiator is a new Champion 2 core aluminum and has a new 16in electric fan mounted to back side to keep the performance 350 Chevy motor cool. The motor has a new water pump! New Fuel pump! New Hi torque starter and a Mercruiser one wire hi amp alternator. The ignition system is a new pro comp stand alone distributor with high voltage coil. The plug wires are 8mm from summit racing. The Holley carburetor is a 600 cfm and was rebuilt by us and works great. The new reproduction caddy/olds air cleaner sets off the look of the motor off along with the satin black Chevrolet tall valve covers. The exhaust is giving the car that fast racing look! They are sprint car style headers and have built in mufflers and are covered in a nice header wrap. Now for the transmission. It’s a Chevy turbo 350 with a 2400 stall convertor and shifted into gear via a custom made shifter. (see pics) the rear end is a 1970 Buick skylark single track 10 bolt with a low 3 series gear.

This is a rare part here! It is from a 1934 Huppmobile 3 window coupe model W136. Few of these cars were made and even the fewer still exists. We filled all the holes on the middle of the dash and moved the glove box door to the left side of the car. Then we filled the factory holes in the center of dash then mounted VDO classic style speedo/temp/oil pressure gauges. There is a airplane style toggle for the ignition and a hidden key switch under the dash beside the steering column. Mounted to the steering column is the turn signal switch and horn button. All glass in the sedan has been replaced with new laminated safety glass. All side windows door and qrt glass still crank up and down.

180,000 new vehicles are sitting, derailed by lack of transport trains
Wed, 21 May 2014If you're planning on buying a new car in the next month or so, you might want to pick from what's on the lot, because there could be a long wait for new vehicles from the factory. Locomotives continue to be in short supply in North America, and that's causing major delays for automakers trying to move assembled cars.
According to The Detroit News, there are about 180,000 new vehicles waiting to be transported by rail in North America at the moment. In a normal year, it would be about 69,000. The complications have been industry-wide. Toyota, General Motors, Honda and Ford all reported experiencing some delays, and Chrysler recently had hundreds of minivans sitting on the Detroit waterfront waiting to be shipped out.
The problem is twofold for automakers. First, the fracking boom in the Bakken oil field in the Plains and Canada is monopolizing many locomotives. Second, the long, harsh winter is still causing major delays in freight train travel. The bad weather forced trains to slow down and carry less weight, which caused a backup of goods to transport. The auto companies resorted to moving some vehicles by truck, which was a less efficient but necessary option.
Peel and Ford Transit do a great Austin Powers impression
Tue, May 6 2014It's no secret that the average fullsize cargo van is big. Like, really big. Expressing that size, though, without actually seeing the van in question, is a pretty tall order. When viewed from the right angle, even something as big as a cargo van can appear very small (look up forced perspective, to see what we mean). That's why it's always good to have a second object on hand, to provide a sense of scale. Ford took this simple idea to the extreme, illustrating the size of the new Ford Transit by pulling the world's smallest production car, the Peel P50, nose first into the van's 487-cubic-foot cargo area. That's no big deal, though, right? After all, at just 54 inches long and 39 inches wide, the Peel would fit quite happily in even the smallest fullsize truck bed. Ford takes it a step further, though. With the help of an actual reverse gear (we're guessing this is a CVT-equipped, electric model), the P50 manages to turn itself around and drive out. It does this in less than two minutes. So yeah, the Ford Transit is a pretty big van. Take a look below for the video from Ford. This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford worker files for UAW dues refund, stirs right-to-work debate
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Let's start with some history: Ford's Dearborn truck plant, part of the company's massive River Rouge complex, was the center of a strike in 1941 that led to Ford signing the first "closed shop" agreement in the industry. The agreement obliged every worker at the plant to be a dues-paying member of the United Auto Workers. In December 2012, however, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder signed legislation making Michigan a right-to-work state, which outlawed closed shops. The new law gave workers the right to opt out of union membership and stop paying dues even if they were still covered by union activities like collective bargaining. For employees at the Dearborn plant, the right-to-work clauses take effect at the end of their current contract in 2015.
As a tool-and-die maker at Ford's Dearborn plant for 16 years, Todd Lemire pays dues to the UAW - about two hours' salary per month. However, he's been unhappy with the UAW's support of the Democratic party, and not wanting to wait until next year to be out of the UAW entirely he invoked his Beck Rights, which state that a non-member of a union does not have to pay dues to support non-core activities, such as political spending. But Lemire wasn't happy that Ford still subtracted the total amount of dues, with the UAW reimbursing the difference, so he filed suit with the National Labor Relations Board, feeling that the workaround violates his rights.
Lemire's case is just a week old, so it could be a while before a resolution. Yet, as September 15, 2015 draws near and the right-to-work laws take full effect for Michigan workers - and others wonder whether it could help revitalize the state's manufacturing base - a case like this adds more fuel to the discussion.
