Out back, Smith sourced Ford’s new 5.2-liter Aluminator 52XS crate engine. Rated at 580 horsepower, it’s basically the "Voodoo" engine from the Mustang GT350 with a cross-plane crank and appropriate camshafts for the different firing order. Smith flipped the intake manifold around to put the intake at the rear. To mount the engine three inches lower in the chassis, Smith swapped the Aluminator’s oil pan for a wide Moroso oil pan and windage tray from 5.0-Mustang. To run the Aluminator, Smith chose Ford Performance Parts’ Controls Pack. Mustang mounts isolate engine vibrations from the chassis.

A ticket to ride will cost you around $275,000, and only 1,948 units of the two-seater will be built.

One other consideration for these saws is the system of battery-powered OPE to which they they belong. Like other cordless tools, all of the models in our test can be purchased as a bare tool at a significant savings over the kit form we tested. If you’re already invested in one of these systems, the overall test winner may not interest you as much as seeing how the saw from your brand performed. Though not on top, it may be good enough for your needs, considering the extra expense of a battery and charger required when switching brands.

Even within a single material group, sheet metal makeup and gauges are not fabricated equally at the mill or between mills. You need to consider imperfections induced by the manufacturing process and impurities and contamination within the material itself.

The Gunther Werks 400R is a modern version of Porsche’s last air-cooled 911 and is the first car from the new Gunther Works outfit based out of southern California. Limited to only 25 units and with a price point of $525,000 this is a seriously expensive and rare restomod. Every 400R will be entirely one of a kind. Customers select the vehicle interior materials, accent colors, and finishes. Gunther Werks then create an interior that bridges the gap between modern and classic design. Customers start with a 1995-1998 Porsche 993-era 911 and Gunther Werks goes nuts from there. Nearly all of the steel bodywork is thrown out; only the doors remain, and the rest is all carbon fiber panels, made in house. Gunther Werks also has a custom 4.0-liter engine. Developed by Rothsport from Oregon it is a tasty high end machine producing 400+ horsepower at 7800 rpm redline. Prices start north of $500,000.

We’re not living in the 50s and 60s Toyota hasn’t changed their truck much because they haven’t needed to. I will give you if you are a tall guy the seating sucks. I’m 6’1″ and I drove a 3rd gen with a sunroof and even tho my hat brim hit the headliner it’s not really that bothersome. Yes some of the frames did rot but they recalled them and fixed the issue stat. Hell, even the tsbs they have are taken care of with their customers without issue. Believe me when I say I’ve done my homework on Toyota and the Tacoma. I don’t want to get into another brand for loyalty and have it let me down after what GM did since I’ve been buying their product only since I was 16. Their powerterrain is crap, their re hashed vehicles from leftovers in their parts bin are crap. They don’t give a damn about their customers and could careless if you had a legitimate TSB let alone a real relavent recall. They have been garbage since 2009 when they got bailed out.

Answer: Having pondered the subject for many years myself, I decided to do some research. In doing so I have the answer and a bit of history to relay as well. Let’s begin with how sheet metal initially was shaped and the tools that were used to accomplish the task.

It’s decidedly American.
