The slow market growth and high unemployment rates that arose with the most recent credit crisis have battered consumer confidence in the U.S economy. For a short period, major automotive companies in the U.S. were upside down and needed some serious financial support. New ideas needed to develop in order to bring back these struggling giants.
Ford has most certainly adapted their marketing objectives in the right direction. One of the newest fuel efficient vehicles they manufacture reaches out to the trendy gas savers. The Ford Fiesta has been recognized as a popular sub-compact outside the U.S. for quite some time and now it is the ideal car for smart commuters in the U.S. It offers an EPA estimated fuel economy of 40 miles per gallon.

1944 Mac Fire Truck at SEMA called the "Black Dragon"
It takes a certain vision to create a master piece but, sometimes it's natural. Take a 1944 Mac Fire Truck for example. What ingredients do you need to make this vintage fire truck and make it look cool? All you need is the owner, Roger Brown, and custom designer, Tom Stark from Precision Designs. Roger and Tom have been friends for quite a sometime. They worked together on a Safety Safari team for NHRA. Somewhere down the line Roger got a hold of old fire truck and wanted to do something special with it. He contacted his buddy Tom and said, "Hi Tom, What do you think about building a Hot Rod fire truck?" Naturally, after viewing pictures the vehicle, Tom agreed to tackle the massive project.
SEMA Featured 1944 Mac Fire Truck with Viper engine
The "Black Dragon", as it is called, has under gone major suspension work, custom panel building, and hours of paint work. To support the heavy frame and body, the suspension was upgraded with some beefy support bars and heavy duty air bags. Once that was accomplished, an SRT10 motor and brakes were added. Next, came the daunting task of setting up the steering column and foot controls. Tom mentioned that the goal was to eliminate the, "sitting on top like a bus," feeling and get the driver down in the vehicle. The controls were fit specifically for the driver. Once everything was mocked up Tom says, "The 1944 Mack was sent off to Nice Rides Restorations for the 'Dripping Black' single stage" paint. It took some serious skill to lay down this flawless single stage paint; not to mention, the gold leaf and chrome work.
Custom 1944 Mac Hot Rod Fire Truck to the 2011 SEMA Show
This custom Mack fire truck was featured and SEMA 2011 and will be displayed in plenty of parades and car shows alike around the nation. Tom mentioned, "The fire truck will be the featured vehicle at the upcoming Super Nationals in Albuquerque, NM February 3rd through February 5th. Then the fire truck is heading to Kansas City for the World of Wheels February 10, 11 & 12th." So keep your eye out for this awesome ride.

Tom believes, "Listening to the wants and needs of our customers and building the projects to their expectations," is what makes his company special.
Other major people that deserve recognition for this build are Dare Wolleson and Matt Wagner.
One of the unique components we would like to point out is the universal K&N high flow air filter. Tom claimed, "We have used K&N filters for our daily drivers and race cars for years, so choosing K&N seemed the natural choice." K&N makes over 1200 universal air filters for automotive and powersports applications. These air filters come in handy when space is limited.
Car shows like SEMA prove that dreams do come true; more so for Robert Linn and Brandy Jackson and their aquatic themed Ford "Seascursion". SEMA 2011 attracts numerous trucks to display the latest automotive products on the market. Ding Master's custom Ford Excursion is a fine display of aftermarket components and custom fabrication.

Rob and Brandy own Ding Masters located in Banning, Ca. They offer the usual auto body services such as paint, window tint, and dent removal; hence the name Ding Masters. Running an auto body shop is like running a tattoo parlor; in that, you have the opportunity to get creative with your work. Many consumers like to customize their vehicles and what better way to do so than add a custom paint job.
Ding Masters got pretty creative with this 2000 Ford Excurison. It not only brings a dream to life, but proves that they produce excellent results when it comes to vehicle customization.
Many aftermarket products were used to complete this special build, such as; a K&N air filter, Super Swamper tires, MHT wheels, Fiberine custom fiberglass top, Xenia Pacific custom vehicle wrap, and Conti-tech air bags. The aquatic theme can be found inside and out. The interior can only be described as a luxurious sea adventure. There is a wraparound bench with a cocktail table and plenty of head room for passengers. Riding in the back of the "Seascursion" must be like taking a ride in an underwater limousine.

Charles Young, from Ding Masters, mentioned, "The vehicle mainly sits at the Ding Master collision center for advertising purposes." This is a great advertising tool. How could you possibly miss this huge aquarium parked on a street corner? I must say, it is quite impressive to see in person.
This truck is a glimpse of what goes on after hours in the Ding Master shop. Long hours were put into building and preparing this rig for SEMA.
