The Ford Mustang from Start to Finish
Building a car is no simple task, as shown in this video of how a Ford Mustang is made from start to finish. The process of assembling a car is one that requires a large amount of both human and material resources. This video shows every subassembly, bolt, and piece of metal that is used in creating the resulting product, a Ford Mustang. Even though one part or one

The side sections of car have already been stamped and are already ready to be attached. The Mustang must now be checked for any faults that may cause the car to fail under any condition. This is done by lasers that check for correct measurements on holes and welds. Afterwards, the gas cap lid is added. The car then continues

on its 9 mile journey along the assembly line. The door is then attached by a very precise machine; this process is called “setting the door”. Then the rear deck fixture is attached by another machine and is welded on. The hood, which is added on next, is not made of steel, but rather it is plastic in order to reduce weight of the car, and therefore reduces gas mileage. The cars then arrive at the paint shop. The cars receive a coat called the “E-Coat” which allows paint to be attracted to the car electrostatically and protects it against rust and corrosion as well. The cars are then “clocked”, which is basically sealing any openings on the car. The car is then polished very carefully to prepare for the coat of paint that is applied and chosen electronically on a computer. This allows the paint to have a smooth, even coat, and a consistent texture and color. The clear coat is put on after the paint to make the car look polished and shiny. The car is then baked in three ovens, the final one reaching a temperature of 280 degrees. The “Paint Expert” then checks for the paint is applied
Mustang had a sleek design that everybody liked. It was two doors, big tire, and stripes running down the hood. As stated by the book muscle cars, “the main selling point what was under the hood it was the magnificent styling that caught America’s attention and made mustang one of the most successful first year cars ever with more than 100,000 sold.” When released it only cost 2300 dollars.
Whether you discovered a mid-size dent in the door of your car or a crumpled front fender, it can be a stressful situation to deal with if you don't know much about cars and how the process of auto body repair works. Put your mind at ease by calling the professionals at Jim's Body Shop, Inc. where you and your vehicle will be treated with expert
Henry Ford designed a new car, the Model T. Henry built it in 1908 and was designed to be lighter, faster, and stronger. Henry had found and used Vanadium steel for the Model T which was much stronger than regular steel. When Henry finished a Model T, he would paint it black since that paint color dried the fastest. Ever since the Model T became popular so quickly, Henry was trying to find a way to speed up manufacturing (http://www.history.com/topics/henry-ford).
Since the development of the steam engine people had been interested in creating self-powered vehicles, this manifested during the industrial revolution as the train. However, as time went on people became interested in creating a vehicle that wasn’t confined to tracks. The earliest attempts were moderately successful but served little practical purpose. Automobiles first began to truly spread with the invention of the electric motor which created cheaper, more powerful, and safer automobiles. Still the automobile still had numerous problems and were mainly in the hands of the rich. It was the development of the internal combustion engine and the assembly line that was truly able to create a practical vehicle that could be used by all and
Whether you need collision repair or a minor dent repair, T&C Auto Body also recommends an inspection for scratches and other injuries to the paint's finish. A good paint finish
The average driver doesn’t think about what keeps their car moving or what keeps them on the road, but that’s because they don’t have to. The average driver doesn’t have to worry about having enough downforce to keep them on the road or if they will reach the adhesive limit of their car’s tires around a turn. These are the things are the car designers, professional drivers, racing pit crews, serious sports car owners, and physicist think about. Physics are an important part of every sports and racing car design. The stylish curves and ground effects on sports cars are usually there not just for form but function as well allowing you to go speeds over 140 mph in most serious sports cars and remain on the road and in
III. Tie to the Introduction: From the origin of the car till the design and mechanics.
A highly popular muscle and sports car, the Ford Mustang functions as a daily driver, weekend warrior, and a show winning work of mechanical art. Whether someone just needs a basic transportation to get from point A to point B, an eight second quarter-mile beast, or a show stopping work of power and beauty, Ford has produced a Mustang for every need.
For the average car owner, the concept of collision repair produces vague images of guys in coveralls hammering away at dented fenders, smoothing out the work, and then painting over it. That may have been a fairly workable, if not crude, description many years ago, but modern auto body repair is a bit more complex. Automotive design and government standards on safety and fuel economy have transformed auto body repair into a science compared to those days.

It was a cold December night shortly after dusk, a likely setting for an event that would prove to be life altering. As fate would have it, this would be the night that I lost the material possession that truly meant the most to me. I would lose the one thing that gave me much pride and joy and excitement. I often think back and liken us to a newlywed couple, for we had only been together for 18 months and were still very much honeymooning. It was a night, a moment, that even now scoffs and mocks me as I travel thither and yonder with her replacement. But she can never be truly replaced and to call my current fix a replacement seems like a sort of blasphemy.
In the beginning, man’s only form of transportation was his own feet. Later, to comfort his journey on foot, was the invention of footwear. Through envy of the speed of other animals he would learn to tame these animals. People who live in the desert ride atop camels. The people who live in the frigid climates travel by dogs. Some people from places like India ride elephants. But the must widely used form of transportation by animal power was by horse. Man would soon develop boats and ships to travel long distances over water and time would flow like the rivers and hundreds of years later, in the late 1700s steam power became the new craze. Steam power got the wheels turning amongst many inventors who
I could feel the cold brisk air brushing up against my skin as I ventured through the darkness in this vacant parking lot on a dreary Sunday night in November. I could see a car in the distance and began to approach it. The car appeared to be an old rusted out vehicle with extremely tinted windows that were dark like death. As I looked inside the vehicle I noticed that the car was as clean as a crystal. Not a speck of dust could be found on the interior and the floor mats were completely spotless. It was as if the vehicle had never been driven before. I then put my hand on the door and proceeded to step inside of the vehicle. As I did so I felt a sensation through my whole body that made me tingle. It was an unwelcoming sensation as if I was entering a whole new world. As I sat down there's was a smell, a sheer clean smell similar to that of a fresh load of laundry. Goosebumps came about all over my body as adrenaline rushed through my veins. I put my hands on the steering wheel and my mind took me into another dimension. Taking a glance in the rearview mirror I could see a mysterious person approaching the vehicle. As I examined the person I came to the conclusion that this must be the owner of the vehicle. I noticed they were dressed in all black and carrying what seemed to be a grocery bag of some sort. In panic, I got out of the car and looked at what appeared to be a male figure. The man was very masculine and tall. His mere presence was enough to strike fear into
Whether it’s a lifted truck running a hemi or a suped up WRX, your dream car embodies what you desire, the life you’d like to live, and the kind of person you’d like to be. Your real car embodies what you have, the life you live, and the kind of person you are.
Since I was a child, I have always dreamed I could have a car which belongs to me. I still remembered when I was four years old, my parents gave me a remote control car as my birthday gift. After that day I started to fall in love with cars.
