1929 Ford Roadster BODY This is an extremely well thought-out, well constructed build. The Z24 350 Chevy V-8 with Jet coated Headers sends the power to the Ford 8" rear via a 400 automatic transmission. The 4 bar polished stainless front suspension is by Pete & Jake. The brakes are disc at all four corners, Radial tires are mounted on 15" front and rear polished American rims. The steering is Vega type with a Corvette steering column. Sitting on a 1929-32 Ford reproduction boxed chassis by TCI is a Wescott 1929 Ford Roadster body, finished in multiple coats of smooth deep Red basecoat/clearcoat paint. The fit and finish is up to above driver quality standards. I have the painted frenched louvered hood sides but like the look with just the top hood section on! The fabric top can be used up , folded down or easily removed with 4 bolts and snaps. INTERIOR Soft Tuck and Roll red and white leather, fitted carpet w / matching floor mats says to you to get in and enjoy the ride. The classic gauges all add to the overall ambiance. Notice the shifter, brake and gas pedal quality and location. The trunk opens up to reveal a fully finished look with a rumble seat that compliments the interior. This can be changed to a regular trunk. The optima battery is hidden in a tray underneath the seat along with the fuse connections. DRIVING IMPRESSIONS Simply put, this roadster drives as good as it looks - not a small accomplishment in a Hot Rod. It is smooth, not choppy. It travels straight down the road, the transmission shifts perfectly. It has a very solid feel, the result of a first class build . The fitted carpet and matching floor mats are installed over layers of heat and sound deadening material so that there is no excess heat in the cockpit and no excess sound. The only sounds you hear are the throatiness of the exhaust system and the growl of those rear tires There are no drivability issues! I am 6ft and fit comfortable. My wife and my 21 year old daughter both drive this car to shows together and enjoy the ride. THE LOOK It's not easy for a builder to attain "the look" but this Roadster has it in spades. You gotta love this Hot Rod, it looks and sounds fast and mean standing still! And, oh yeah, everyone loves this car - lots of thumbs up and waves - smiles all around. But this car is not for the bashful type, not for someone who wants to fly under the radar. You will get noticed. OVERALL This custom built roadster, is only 5300 miles from new, and was built to drive, It is in very nice shape. It started life in 2011 . I am stating that it is a # 3 quality but it is much better. Simply put if you see this Roadster in person, you'll buy it. Check the component prices of this high caliber build and you'll realize the value - This car is proof that it makes economic sense to buy them finished. A sample of some of the items used in the build!

Chip Foose tastefully enhances his personal Ford GT
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Typically, we'd expect a vehicle from 2006 to fall well short of a more modern vehicle, both in terms of performance and style. Of course, the Ford GT is not your average offering from the Bush era. That's doubly true when the 2006 GT in question belongs to one Chip Foose.
Purchased by his wife as a 50th birthday present, Foose is showing his custom, personalized GT at the 2014 SEMA Show. The 5.4-liter supercharged V8 breathes a bit easier thanks to a full Magnaflow Performance exhaust, but Foose's GT isn't all about the performance.
Instead, the car customizer extraordinaire has focused on tasteful aesthetic enhancement, tweaking the rear end by removing the bumper and trimming the frame extensions. The wheels, meanwhile, are one-off aluminum alloys, designed by Foose himself. Like the stripes, the wheels feature orange accenting.
2015 Ford Mustang GT Line-Lock Burnout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014In this brief Short Cut, Autoblog's Steven Ewing demonstrates Line-Lock on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. Accessed through an on-screen performance menu, the feature temporarily locks the front brakes to help you heat up the rear tires for better traction, as you would for drag racing. The result? A 15-second smokescreen.
Ford Fiesta ST customs get wild at SEMA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013The massive 57-car SEMA showcase by Ford ranges from obvious aftermarket-friendly models like the Mustang, to the not so obvious ones, like the Transit Connect and cute-as-an-explosive-button Fiesta ST. Ford plucked several Fiesta STs for SEMA duty, and we were on the show floor today to get a closer look at some of them.
First up is the striking COBB Tuning and Tanner Foust Racing Fiesta ST (above) finished in a black-and-gray digital camouflage, much like that used in the military, and is meant to raise awareness for the Pat Tillman Foundation. COBB also fitted a three-inch exhaust and a cold-air intake. A new shift knob, carbon-fiber hood and a Kicker stereo round out the mix of upgrades.
MRT got its hands on a Fiesta ST and created a car inspired by Forza Motorsport 5 (below, left). Featuring a two-tone paint job and more performance upgrades than you can shake a stick at, this Fiesta ST is one of the cooler compacts at Ford's stand. A high-performance exhaust system, along with a complimentary COBB induction system, allows the ST to breathe better, while an H&R coil over suspension and Steeda brakes help it stop and turn better than stock.
