1934 Ford Pickup rat rod, or traditional hot rod if you prefer. This truck is currently featured in Ol' Skool Rodz magazine #57, on news stands now. It has also been featured in Rebel Rodz magazine. It has been on the road one year and has approximately 1500 miles. It has a "Trucker" theme, with dual roof-mount horns, functional dual exhaust stacks, cab light turn signals, Mack bulldog cowl ornament, and Peterbilt shifter. It drives EXCELLENTLY, very fast and smooth, equally at home on the freeway as around town.

The cab is chopped 4 inches and channeled four inches. The box is shortened 23 inches and narrowed 8 inches. It has a custom-built 2x4 steel frame. Front suspension is a vintage Okie Adams 6-inch dropped I-beam axle, original Model A wishbones, and a new transverse leaf spring on a suicide perch. Rear suspension is a four-link with panhard bar, suspended by coilover shocks. The differential is a freshly rebuilt Ford 8-inch. Steering is a Ford tractor wheel, through a unique chain drive into a Dodge pickup steering box; it is SMOOTH. Wheels are vintage Cragar SS with bias ply tires front and rear. The engine is a recently rebuilt Chevy 307 with a set of 305 heads for 10:1 compression. Induction is an Edelbrock Street Tunnel Ram with dual Holley 450 carbs. Exhaust is through custom headers with baffles, routed into dual stacks with integral Cherry Bomb mufflers. The transmission is a Borg Warner World Class T-5 five speed manual. Radiator is a new aluminum 3-row. It has a full set of new functional gauges: fuel, volt, tach, speedo, oil pressure, temperature. Gas tank is 15-gallon steel hidden under the box. Headlights, taillights, brake lights and turn signals all work as they should. The battery is easily accessible through a vintage Craftsman tool box in the bed.

The truck is very reliable and comfortable to drive. It starts instantly, runs super, and never overheats. I drive it every weekend the weather allows. It is not a show queen, although it has won its share of trophies. At only 2100 lbs gross weight, above 3000 rpm this car will make you wet your pants. It has no side windows, no heater and no seat belts, no radio - no need for amenities; the car IS the entertainment.

Many YouTube videos are available of this truck driving (please note: all these vids feature the truck with tripower; that has since been changed to dual quads):

The buyer is responsible for pickup and transportation. This truck is fully capable of driving cross country should you choose to do so. Nonetheless, it is being sold AS IS with no warrantees implied. FYI, the reserve is $12,000. For more information please contact me at miraclepieco@gmail.com

Ford reveals new rapid prototyping and low-volume production techniques [w/video]

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

It's called "F3T," and that stands for Ford Free-form Fabrication Technology. The process that The Blue Oval has developed means being able to sidestep the weeks-long process of tool-and-die making when engineers want to construct a new part, allowing them to fabricate a three-dimensional part from a two-dimensional sheet of metal in just hours.
While F3T is being developed it is limited to "low-volume prototyping or even low-volume niche vehicles," but the next step is to evaluate it for use in Ford's global manufacturing facilities. You can find out more about it in the video and the press release below.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost flogged and analyzed by Ignition

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

Aside from the way it looks and perhaps its independent rear suspension, the biggest bit of news on the 2015 Mustang may be the inclusion of its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. That blown mill marks the first time since the Mustang SVO of the '80s that a turbo has been fitted under the engine of Ford's pony car.
The Mustang EcoBoost is the subject of the latest episode of Ignition from Motor Trend, giving us a great look at the technical, nitty-gritty side of the turbocharged coupe. Covering it from bow to stern, host Carlos Lago walks us through the boosted Ford before taking to the track for some driving impressions, with particular praise given to the low-end grunt of the 2.3-liter mill.
Check out the full video and then let us know which 2015 Mustang has your interest piqued the most - the EcoBoost four, the 5.0L V8 or the entry-level V6.

This 1969 Ford F-100 has a Cadillac CTS-V engine lurking underhood

Fri, Jan 30 2015

Something always feels just a little taboo when someone builds a custom and then slots in a powertrain from a rival automaker. That's exactly the case with this modded 1969 Ford F-100 boasting a highly tuned LSA supercharged V8 like from the second-gen Cadillac CTS-V. However, with a claimed 800 horsepower on tap thanks in part to running an estimated 20 pounds of boost, it's easy to get over any bad feelings. Built by Tommy Pike Customs in South Carolina, the truck tries to keep the exterior looking somewhat stock. Although, the jade green and satin gold paint, Quaker State logo, lowered suspension and black wheels immediately suggest something is up. Once the F-100 starts up with its menacing growl, absolutely any doubts of this beast being unaltered are immediately gone. Not so obvious are some tweaks to actually help put all that power down, including disc brakes and independent suspension setups at the front and rear. The video gives some glimpses at a few of Pike's other creations, but the real star here is definitely his mean, green Ford.
