1946 FORD
All steel street rod with custom cab extension, fuel injected V8, auto trans, power steering, power brakes and cold air conditioning. The cab mod gives the interior much needed legroom and storage without looking too messed with, but still unique. The body mods were tastefully done and look factory. People comment on it all the time thinking it came from the factory this way and think it is just some super rare model. This is the way Ford should have built it. The truck is all steel including the running boards. The truck was meant to drive. Haul things in the back, step on the running board, you can use this one - it's a solid, tough old truck that is fun to drive. It's an older build with old paint. Paint shows some minor wear, fine scratches, rock chips etc but still has a deep shine and looks really good overall. Extra purple touch up paint comes with it if you should ever need it. Purple body with black fenders and custom pinstriping.
The truck was built using a 1986 Thunderbird donor car with approximately 47,000 miles. The motor is stock 5.0 fuel injected V8 (302 c.i. for old folks like me). Ford used this motor for years in the Thunderbird and Fox body Mustangs making it very easy and affordable to get parts for. Transmission is stock automatic with overdrive and it has power steering, and power brakes. Camaro front independent suspension with 10 bolt rear. It runs excellent and has plenty of power. The interior uses much of the stock Thunderbird components like digital dash, power bucket seats, radio, tilt steering column, floor shifter etc. 17" billet aluminum wheels and dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. It handles good and is actually pretty good on gas making it an excellent driver. Power seats, power windows, heat and air conditioning.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
Ford unveils its facelifted Falcon finale with new XR8
Thu, 24 Jul 2014While its days may be numbered, Ford isn't just going to let its Falcon sedan limp out for the Australian market. No, the Blue Oval is releasing a refreshed Falcon for its final years, and it's lead by this, the new XR8. That's right, this dead-car-driving is going to go out on a high note.
Ford's global design DNA dominates the looks of the new Falcon, with a grille reminiscent of the US market Fusion and the European-market Mondeo. The headlights aren't a straight port, and boast their own unique LED running light pattern (at least on the XR8), but the overall look is strikingly similar. Out back, LED taillights highlight the rear of the Faclon. Despite the substantial new fascia, this is still a mid-cycle refresh. That means most of the rest of the Falcon's body panels are carryovers from the current model.
The XR8 model, shown above, arrives with a supercharged V8, allegedly displacing 5.0 liters. Unfortunately, details on the Falcon's mechanicals are in remarkably short supply. Ford has committed to a range of turbocharged four, as well as turbocharged and naturally aspirated six-cylinders, in addition to the V8, although specifics on those mills aren't available.
Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy
Tue, 07 May 2013With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.
