34 Ford flatbed hot rod – DONE!
This is an AMT 34 Ford p/u I recently got in a trade. This will be built as a stakeside flatbed shop truck for a fictional salvage company called L&R Original Parts Rescue. So far I have modified the kit suspension to get rid of the wishbones. I plan on totally scratching the flatbed (& stakesides)so I made a frame for it from 2x2mm stock. The rear step/ trailer hitch is to add the trailer I made a few months ago. The engine is the flattie from the Revell 50 F-1 and will feature Ardun Heads and triple carbies.
This build will be mildly weathered and feature distressed suede paint. No salt or hairspray here just paint that has gotten thin in areas and a little primer showing through. I plan on taking 1/8 inch out of the top (bout 3 scale inches) no hood sides. Checkerboard firewall, lots of wood, mud flaps in the rear. I'm still kicking the interior around for this one. I may use the bench seat and make another mexican blanket. Lots to do still.

Filed under: Government/Legal, Saab, Earnings/Financials, UK
The Great Saab Sob Story of 2011 continues unabated as Saab Great Britain has officially filed for bankruptcy protection. Saab GB is a wholly owned subsidiary of Swedish Automobile N.V., the parent company of Saab, and has the exclusive rights to distribute Saab automobiles in the UK.
There are 58 Saab dealerships in the UK, 20 of which are standalone operations. According to Saab, court-backed protection is its best course of action in the UK, as it has yet to receive any sort of funding most of the promised funding from its supposed Chinese partners. Read the official press release after the break for all the details.

Renault R31 ? Launch Details and Analysis (Scarbsf1′s Blog)
“What was formerly the Renault F1 Team and now Lotus Renault GP (I?ll use the term LRGP for this article) have unveiled their new car the R31. It seems some critical details are not fitted to the car for its unveiling, indeed the car was shown only briefly to the press before it was covered back up and returned to the garage. Despite the mystery surrounding the cars exhaust exit location, its clear this is a very new design for the team. In creating this the team were given a mandate to take risks, which probably explains the very different front and rear end treatments.”
Renault R31 Front Exit Exhausts (FEE) ? Explained (Scarbsf1′s Blog)
“Renault have found a new solution to the blown diffuser concept. In fact they?ve turned it on its head. With an exhaust that exits at the front of the sidepods.
Last years teams reintroduced the blown diffuser concept, either by blowing exhaust gasses over the top of the diffuser, or by creating an opening into the diffuser to blow inside the diffuser. Both solutions created more downforce. With the latter solution now banned, it seemed the less effective over-blown solutions are all that?s left to race.”

Vodafone rewards its customers as Jenson Button drives through the streets of Manchester in
his Vodafone McLaren Mercedes F1? car
Vodafone VIP brought a taste of Formula 1? to the heart of Manchester city centre this weekend, with F1? driver Jenson Button and the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team staging a celebration of the sport.
Crowds lined Deansgate on Monday (29th Aug) afternoon for the highlight of the Bank Holiday, as Jenson Button revved up his Vodafone McLaren Mercedes F1? car and drove it through one of Manchester?s busiest streets. Button also treated two lucky Vodafone customers to a thrilling drive through Manchester city centre in a McLaren MP4-12C sports car, before ending the day with an on-stage, public Q&A appearance.
Jenson enjoyed the day enormously, commenting:
?I think Vodafone VIP has done a brilliant job to make this happen ? it can?t have been easy ? but to see the looks on people?s faces when I opened up the throttle, was a fantastic moment. It is all about giving something back to the fans and just unleashing the awesome power of a Formula 1 car. It was a lot of fun.?
Jenson?s appearance was just one part of a three day event. From Saturday 27 to Monday 29 of August, Vodafone customers and friends enjoyed the Vodafone VIP Fanzone in Albert Square. The Fanzone contained a bespoke Go Kart Track, and a number of interactive F1? experiences, including a pit stop challenge, a sit in Vodafone McLaren Mercedes car, an F1? simulator and an exhibition of race suits and helmets. Throughout the weekend there was also a pit garage on the forecourt of the Hilton Deansgate in which Vodafone customers had the opportunity to go behind the scenes in the team?s garage.
The celebration was part of Vodafone?s drive to reward as many of its customers as possible. Previous Vodafone VIP events have been based in London and the South East so by bringing F1 to the North West, Vodafone VIP are aiming to reach a wider audience and thank even more of their customers.
Councillor Pat Karney, of Manchester City Council, said:
?Vodafone VIP Live is a great example of the sort of unmissable events which Manchester stages and a great way show what our city has to offer. We are extremely grateful to Vodafone who provided the opportunity to have the I Love MCR logo printed on the side of the car. Word of the campaign has spread fast, so it’s entirely fitting that an F1 car bearing the campaign logo should be seen racing down Deansgate?
The F1? event in Manchester is just one element of Vodafone VIP, which gives customers access to the best of British festival, fashion and Formula 1? events. Vodafone VIP provides customers with the hottest tickets and money can?t buy experiences. All Vodafone customers can register for Vodafone VIP by going online.

Read More‘ 69 Charger R/T Hemi w.i.p.
So from one Mopar to another . . . . and then another still, but that's a different story. 
I got the wee bit of orange peel polished out y'day, then gave the body a little bit of a dry scuff with some micromesh and followed it up with the decals. That stripe went on without a hitch, though I'm going to wait another week before I apply the clear coat. I wanna make sure the water underneath has completely dried up, so it'll sit in front of a fan in the meantime to help speed that along. 
The ' 68 Charger kit is donating the Hemi, and I'm going to use the Magnum 500 wheels from the ' 69 kit. From what I can gather, this Testors Purple-icious is pretty close to Plum Crazy, though if I'm not mistaken PC was a non-metallic color. The newer one coat lacquers don't seem to have such big flakes at least, so it's passable at any rate.
Oddly enough the lhs here doesn't carry any of the newer Testors colors. I had to get the paint at Michaels, but at least with a 50% off coupon three bucks for a can of paint is easy to digest. 
Hope to have more soon, and thanks fer lookin'!
Regards,

Ferrari duo Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa believe the team has already addressed its weak areas – which leaves them both confident it can put its disappointing season behind it and return to title glory in 2012. Ahead of the final race of the season in Brazil, both men think that although the results this year have been below what the team was expecting, they have at least allowed the Maranello outfit to understand where it was not good enough and what needed to be improved if it is to take on Red Bull Racing in the future. “We have learned about mistakes at the factory in Maranello, and about the windtunnel problems,” said Alonso

Read MoreVitantonio Liuzzi – classic F1
Vitantonio Liuzzi is the latest driver to choose his five all-time favourite grands prix for BBC Sport’s classic Formula 1 series.
The HRT driver, who elected to stay in F1 for a seventh season this year with a back-of-the-grid team rather than look for a more competitive drive elsewhere, certainly knows his F1 history. The Italian’s selection comprises five all-time classic events.
Liuzzi decided to join HRT this year to ensure he kept his name alive in F1
A race famous for what Liuzzi describes as the “amazing fight” between Ferrari‘s Gilles Villeneuve and Renault’s Rene Arnoux over second place in the final three laps, as the two men passed and re-passed each other, occasionally banging wheels in perhaps the most frenetic three laps of racing in F1 history.
The race also marked Renault’s first win in F1, courtesy of Jean-Pierre Jabouille, and the first for a car with a turbocharged engine – the type of power-plant that is returning to the sport in the new ‘green’ F1 from 2014.
This race featured perhaps the most chaotic closing stages in F1 history, with five different leaders vying for the win, and was described by Murray Walker at the time as “certainly the most exciting, eventful grand prix I have ever seen”.
Long-time leader Alain Prost crashed his Renault at the chicane in a late shower of rain, leaving Brabham‘s Riccardo Patrese in front and on course for his first F1 win. But he, too, was caught out on the slippery track, spinning just three-quarters of a lap later than Prost, this time on the hill down from Mirabeau to Loews.
Patrese managed to bump-start his car but only after being passed for the lead by Ferrari’s Didier Pironi, who then stuttered to a halt, out of fuel, in the tunnel. That should have given the lead to Alfa Romeo‘s Andrea de Cesaris but he, too, had stopped with an empty tank, even before he got to the site of Patrese’s spin. And Williams driver Derek Daly, who could also have moved up, had stopped with a broken driveshaft. All that meant Patrese crossed the line in the lead, even though, as Liuzzi points out “he didn’t know he’d won”.
A familiar choice, this is a race that is central to the legend of Ayrton Senna and a key event in his bitter feud with arch-rival Prost, then his team-mate at McLaren. Prost led for much of the race but was caught by Senna in the closing stages. When the Brazilian went for a pass at the chicane, the two men collided.
Prost knew he was world champion if both men retired. But as he climbed out of the car, Senna decided to continue. He pitted to replace a damaged nose cone and recovered to pass Benetton’s Alessandro Nannini for a brilliant win.
Senna was later controversially disqualified, leading to the extraordinary development of McLaren appealing against the result of a race that had given the world title to one of their drivers. The appeal was unsuccessful.
Like Monaco 1982, another chaotic finish in the rain, with perhaps an even more extraordinary result. Heavy downpours led to the retirements of many leading drivers, including world champion Michael Schumacher. And the race was brought to a premature end when first Mark Webber crashed his Jaguar at high speed coming on to the pit straight and then Fernando Alonso‘s Renault ploughed into the debris.
The result hinged on who had crossed the line at the point the race was stopped. Timekeepers initially handed the win to McLaren’s Kimi Raikkonen but Jordan were convinced their man Giancarlo Fisichella had won. Jordan appealed, successfully, and Fisichella was named as the winner, Raikkonen handing him the trophy at a little ceremony before the following race, the San Marino GP at Imola.
Arguably the best grand prix there has ever been – and one we dealt with when Mark Webber made his selections last week.
As always, we pick one ‘feature’ race, so this time we have gone for Monaco 1982. The full Grand Prix programme of the time is embedded below.
