Jezebel
1930 Tudor Sedan

Up for auction is Jezebel a one off custom traditional hot rod from Fod's Garage. This Beautiful sedan was completed in March of 2013 and debuted as a display vehicle at the annual Hot Rod and Restoration show in Indianapolis. The car was also used on the banner of their website for this years show. The car has been in Street Scene Magazine and on Motor Head Garage. This car was inspired by the show cars of the 50's and 60's. Over the top body modifications and extreme attention to detail. Please take time to look over the pictures here and more on the Fod's Garage website. Photo from show is of Jezebel as well as other vehicles available for sale. We provide turn key customs as well as commissioned builds. If you have any questions contact me before placing a bid (fod@fodsgarage.com or (812) 216-0635). Don't know why anyone would assume anything different but the car is equipped with functioning, windows (all four), tilting windshield, headlights (high and low), tail lights, brake lights, turn signals, and horn. You get the idea. The speedo is not hooked up needs cable. Being listed as having 15 miles, this is aprox how many miles have been put on since build completion.

Exterior
We started with a solid original 1930 tudor sedan. The top was chopped a massive 7 inches. In order to retain correct proportions the body was sectioned 2 inches. Anyone familiar with custom cars will tell you the combination of these modifications is a tremendous amount of work. Any rust or previous poor repairs were cut out and replaced with new sheet metal. The body has also been channeled but not in the traditional manner. When looking in the door opening there is no step reducing interior room. This was accomplished by using a new sheetmetal floor and full custom chassis. The end result is head room equal to a channeled and 4 inch chopped A. The car has new wood throughout. Gaps were set far tighter and with more precision than anything Ford ever did. The body was wrapped in a beautiful three tone DuPont paint job. Topped of with old school pin stripes. A new high quality top was installed with mesh and padding. The grille shell is a new 28-29 grille with a woven stainless insert. The original model A headlights were fitted with halogen bulbs new lenses and turn signals in the housings. Wiring is sleeved with black woven cloth loom. Rear bumpers were added for a unique look. 

Interior
Sitting in the driver seat you will see a Nash instrument cluster mounted in the center of a custom Model A dash. Cluster was sent out after reshaping to be chromed. The dash along with other metal trim inside the car is charcoal with black accents and maroon stripes to match the exterior. The inside of the car was primed, sealed and sound deadened prior to upholstery. The seat is a custom bench back style with bucket lowers. The seat bottoms as well as the back is contoured, not just a flat slab. Upholstery is done in black with ribbed charcoal inserts. The fuel tank has been located in the rear of the passenger compartment with a full firewall seperating it from the inside. The raised panel behind the seat houses the rear suspension. Fuel tank firewall, rear suspension cover, and transmission tunnel are all removable to allow access to all drivetrain from either inside or under the car. There are locations for storage on both sides behind the seat large enough for chairs, small cooler, cleaning supplies, and over night bags. The sedan also has a full headliner with dome lights. Interior is finished off with square weave black carpet. 

Chassis
Jezebel sits on a full custom chassis. The lightening holes in the front have been sleeved. All joints in the frame have been plated for additional strength. Chassis is full TIG welded. Front axle has been smooth and drilled. Front brakes are new disc units from speedway motors as are the king pins and spindles. Steering is provided through a cowl mounted reversed Ford truck box mounted under the dash. Rear frame rails are mandrel bent. Rear suspension is 4 link with a diagonal bar for locating the 9 inch Ford axle. Coil overs are used for adjustable ride height. Plumbing and wiring are retained with stainless clamps, frame is drilled and tapped for attachment with stainless hardware. The brand new wheels along with all other chassis parts are powder coated black for high quality long lasting finish. Wheels are wrapped in new whitewall Firestone tires.

Drivetrain
Power is supplied by a 350 Chevy with a mild cam. Valve covers, air cleaner, and oil pan are finned cast aluminum. Custom headers are ceramic coated by Jet Hot. Transmission shifts firm and equipped with a finned aluminum pan. Cooling is provided by new radiator with electric fan and aluminum overflow tank.

Legal type stuff

 As is with all custom vehicles there may be items that do not conform to your local laws. Custom/hot rod vehicles are not factory production units and therefore many not perform as such. These could, but do not necessarily include: interior or air ride leaks, altered ride and handling characteristics, decreased visibility, modified or removed safety items, deeming them off road use only. Therefore all altered vehicles are sold for off road show purposes only. Fod's Garage is not responsible for any damage or injuries caused while operating this vehicle. This car is in good working order but is sold as is with no warranty or guarantees.

Ford looks to space robots to improve car-to-car communications [w/video]

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Ford has partnered with St. Petersburg Polytechnic University for three years to research various kinds of connected vehicle communications. The university tie-up is part of its study of space robots, NASA systems created to enable space-to-Earth communication, and the university's own development of systems that enable communication between the International Space State and Earth.
The objective is for Ford to engineer layers of robust networks and redundancy systems that will allow your car to speak to other cars, to emergency vehicles, to infrastructure like traffic lights and buildings, and to the cloud. Benefits would come in just about every area of transit, from avoiding accidents, to getting medical workers to an accident more quickly, to improving the flow of traffic during rush hour.
Check out the press release below for details on what Ford wants to learn from the JUSTIN Humanoid and NASA Robonaut R2, and a video of technical leader Oleg Gusikhin discussing his interest in the project.

Ford updates Power Stroke diesel V8, strengthens F-450, tweaks King Ranch

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Ford is giving its F-Series Super Duty trucks some upgrades for 2015, and we're happy to say that one of them is an improved Power Stroke diesel V8. Also, Ford is strengthening the top-of-the-line F-450 to handle more abuse. And if wild west-style luxury is your thing, the automaker has performed minor cosmetic updates to its King Ranch Edition trucks, as well.
The turbocharged 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 is currently rated at 400 horsepower and 800 pound-feet of torque, and Ford only tells us the new and improved Power Stroke can "produce power beyond today's" engine. What, then, did Ford actually improve upon? First, the Blue Oval swapped in a new, larger turbocharger. The new Garrett GT37 turbine unit is 72.5 millimeters in diameter, eclipsing the old GT32's 64-mm diameter piece. Ford states output increases with the new turbo setup, but since the new turbocharger operates at a lower peak pressure than the old one, the automaker was able to eliminate the wastegate system and reduce the engine's complexity. Ford even redesigned the turbo's oil and cooling lines to make the powerplant simpler. A byproduct of the larger turbo is better engine exhaust braking, which is controlled manually by a button on the dashboard.
Ford claims the upgraded diesel engine is more powerful, more robust, more efficient and more refined than before.

Martini Mustang is a 'what if moment' gone right

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Feast your eyes on a masterpiece. This is Steve Strope's Ford Mustang in the classic fastback bodystyle, and as you'll notice, it sports the signature colors of Martini Racing, a livery that's as legendary as any Gulf Racing-styled car. But the red, white and blues of the Martini stripe down this Mustang's middle tell only a very small part of the story, in the latest video from Petrolicious.
What would you guess is under the hood? A 289-cubic-inch V8? Maybe a 302, or some absurd Ford crate engine? Maybe Strope went all Tokyo Drift - he's actually responsible for the "Hammer" Plymouth Satellite driven by Vin Diesel at the end of the movie - and found an RB26DETT to drop into the pony car? You'd be wrong on all counts.
This mad, mad man somehow finagled a Ford-Lotus engine from a 1966 Indianapolis 500 car into the Mustang's engine bay. Yes, a Mustang with an engine designed for a 160-mile-per-hour, open-wheel racecar. That's like someone in 40 years dropping McLaren's 2.4-liter V8 from the MP4-28 into a Scion FR-S. It'd just make a monster.
