1931 Model A Ford Rat Rod Truck
This extended cab truck was custom fabricated by Image 803 Customs in Pelion, South Carolina. The cab started as a 1931 model A 4 door car and was modified to an extended cab truck, you can see the before and after in the pictures. Everything on this truck is brand new except the cab which is an original 1931 model A. The frame was custom build from scratch by Image 803 and features speed holes in the front frame rails and has been primed and painted brown. The interior of the cab was completely replaced with 1X1 steel tubing and a new sheet metal floor and tunnel. The truck also has an Image 803 custom wood top (which is patterned right after the original top) and cloth cover with snaps. It has a 4 inch drop front axle with Wilwood disc brakes and new Coker white wall tires. The rear end of the truck is from an 02 ford explorer and has positive traction and disc brakes. The truck has air ride on the rear with a Vivair compressor and 4 gallon tank, along with a set of train horns mounted under the wood bed floor. The floor actually lifts up like a hood showing all the air ride, valves, battery and aluminum fuel cell. There are 4 valves on the truck, two per air bag for maximum control and leveling. The truck has HID lights custom built into the original 1931 car light buckets. The motor in the truck was built by Johnson Machine Engines in Johnson SC and is a built SBC 350 (Mother Thumper Cam and flat top pistons) with turbo 400 transmission (Lokar shifter). The engine has a Weiand tunnel ram on it with 2 Holley 450 Carbs and the exhaust is a set of Sanderson Zoomies. The quad gage in the truck is an Auto Meter. As you can see no expense was spared for this truck. The truck runs and drives great and has about 1000 miles on it with a clear title. This is a custom one of a kind rat rod...... Bad A$$ machine. I buy and sell rat rods all over the US and this is one of the most well built machines I've had..... Bobby 817-907-2881 |

Ford demonstrates Mustang's new Line Lock burnout feature
Tue, 22 Apr 2014Been saving your pennies for a 2015 Ford Mustang? Put in a few extra shifts or some overtime? Got a great down payment ready? Well, however much you saved for your new pony car, start saving more - you'll need the extra money to spend on tires.
That's because the Mustang will come with a system called Line Lock, which can lock the front brakes electronically, allowing drivers to perform big, dumb, smoky burnouts without moving so much as an inch. It's sort of like launch control, only the average driver might actually use it.
Now, line locks aren't uncommon, particularly in drag racing. Usually, a flip of the switch locks the front brakes. The Mustang, besides offering the system from the factory which is unique in and of itself, looks a bit more involved.
Ford pits Cobra Jet versus GRC Fiesta ST, worlds collide
Thu, 31 Oct 2013Racing takes on many forms in the automotive world. There are sanctioned events that are as varied and diverse as NASCAR, Formula One, Global Rallycross and drag racing, and to be good enough to win competitively in one discipline, you need to have a specialized vehicle. Or do you?
Ford decided to find out what would happen when its Global Rallycross Fiesta ST, driven by Tanner Foust, lined up against its Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer, driven by Roy Hill. In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters. Evening the playing field a bit, Tanner has a massive turbocharger and all-wheel drive; Roy has to filter all his supercharged power through the rear wheels only.
So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...
Ford posts record pre-tax Q3 profit of $2.6B
Thu, 24 Oct 2013Ford took in $2.6 billion in pre-tax profits in the third quarter of the year, making for a record trio of months that saw the Blue Oval's year-over-year earnings increase by $426 million. The earnings are being attributed not just to improvements in North American sales, but sales around the globe.
Revenue was up 12 percent, to $36 billion, although net income took a hit, dropping $359 million to $1.3 billion. Ford was dinged with $498 million in pre-tax charges, which are being blamed for the drop in net income.
The news has boosted Ford's hopes for full-year results, bumping it's total profits up past $8 billion, according to Automotive News. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer is still expecting a loss in Europe, although it's forecasted less than the $1.73 billion it burned in 2012. In fact, according to CFO Bob Shanks, Ford's European losses dropped by 51 percent year-over year, a huge improvement for the brand.
