Here are some more information for Quarter Fender:

With a large number of bridges, tunnels and highways in Hampton Roads, Virginia it is no wonder there is a traffic accident in the region every 19 minutes. It is the most likely area in Virginia to have a vehicle wreck. As a result, many people must take their cars to a Hampton Roads body shop to be fixed. There are many parts of a vehicle that can be repaired or replaced after an accident, making it safe and looking just like new.

Windshield

Auto glass is one of the most common items that must be replaced after an auto accident. Although the windshield on modern vehicles is specially designed to spider web instead of shatter in a collision, the glass still needs to be replaced. Virginia state vehicle inspections require a windshield that is both safe and allows for full visibility without obstruction from cracks, dings and spider webs. Replacing a windshield or other windows is not a do-it-yourself project for most car owners. It is a project best left to a professional to ensure a leak-free installation. Making sure windows glide properly on automatic or manual crank tracks is also tricky for the amateur.

Quarter Panels

The front and rear quarter panels on vehicles are frequently crunched in motor vehicle accidents. They must be replaced to avoid damaging the tires. Reconnecting and replacing the taillights and turn signal panels is also a side effect of quarter panel damage. This can be done at any Hampton Roads auto body shop, such as a Chesapeake collision center, which is centrally located in the area.

Front End Damage

With head-on collisions, the front end usually sustains the most damage. This requires fixing the hood, front fender, radiator and/or headlights. This may be expensive to repair, but generally costs less than replacing the entire vehicle. Insurance claims can also reduce the cost. Driving without repairing the damage is structurally unsafe and may cause the car to overheat or the headlights and signals to not work properly. The hood can become unlatched and open while travelling or leak during the frequent rainstorms in Hampton Roads.

Paint

Replacing panels and hoods with a used panel from another vehicle is one option for accident repairs, but it is difficult to find one to match in color. A local Chesapeake auto body shop can paint the replacement parts or the entire vehicle to make it match. Driving around with mismatched auto panels is embarrassing and an advertisement that the driver has been in an accident. Once it has been fixed and painted, it looks as good as new.

Ford Wants it the Foose's Way

Ford Motor Co. has recently unveiled the show-and-go hot rod 2008 F-150 Foose Edition, which is dressed to cruise the boulevard.

The design created by Chip Foose, the celebrated custom-car guru and host of TV's "Overhaulin” on the 2008 Ford F-150 stands out from other trucks design although the addition of a nerf bar may also do the Foose Edition F-150 some good. According to Ben Poore, Ford truck group marketing manager, “Fitting Ford's style, Foose creations aren't too ‘Pimp My Ride’.”

Poore also added that Foose is more minimalist in his styling and preferred to show a truck's natural lines. Foose's designs interest a wide range of consumers. "If you look at who is on his show, there's a cross section of America."

Poore said that the initial meeting with Foose was a lot like being a guest on ‘Overhaulin’. Poore has discussed with Foose about creating the F-150 Foose Edition, based on the F-150 FX2 Sport.

The meeting between Poore and Foose transpired at the 2006 Specialty Equipment Market Association convention in Las Vegas, where Foose was hosting his TV show. The plans for the F-150 Foose Edition were discussed on the set at the table where Foose draws and plans custom treatments with guests.

"He did with me what he does with the other people on his show," Poore said. He says, 'Ben, what are you looking for in a truck'?" to which Poore replied that he wants a Ford street-rod truck. He added that he wants Foose to take the FX2 and give it a street-rod kind of look. Foose immediately jot down all the information. "He starts scribbling", Poore said. "You can't talk to him without his hands starting to move. It's just amazing."

Terms such as "tough luxury" and "street-rod tough" bounce around- keeping the toughness of the brand, but getting that street-rod look even more into it, Poore said. Foose also asked where Ford wants to put the most focus, on the interior or exterior. "Absolutely the exterior," Poore said. Then Foose asked about the wheel size that Ford wants. "At least 20s," Poore said. "Let's try to go for 22s," Foose said, and Poore agreed.

The wheels used for the F-150 Foose Edition are forged, polished wheels wrapped by P275/45R-22 tires. They are covered by flared fenders that give the impression of a lowered look. The show truck is lowered by 1.5 inches which may be different on production model and Foose created an effect to make it look more lowered by putting the body kit with custom rocker panels all the way around the vehicle instead of fitting a chin spoiler up front.

To further enhance the grounded look of the F-150 Foose added some bold racing stripes that begin at the leading edge of the hood. The cascading down stripes narrows significantly at the front fenders and then continuous rearward as a trim band, above door handles, and across to the tailgate. It ends with two wide stripes dipping down the tailgate.

The wide stripes balance out the front design elements of the F-150. For exhausts, Foose selects squarish dual outlets to match the shapes of the ducts in the front chin spoiler. The dual exhausts were derived from Ford Racing parts, providing the F-150 Foose Edition the most potent engine in an under-8,500-GVWR-class pickup. It's a supercharged 5.4-liter V-8, revving up 450 horsepower and 500 lb.-ft. of potent torque mated to a four-speed automatic transmission.

Poore said, "This will be the fastest truck in the lineup, absolutely. ---Its tremendous power off the line. If you are going to cruise the highway and you get the rpm up and you just let it kick in, it just keeps going, and going and going." He also added that the powertrain and the exterior is where most of the extra attitudes are invested stressing the fact that the FX2 interior already contains some special touches.

The changes on the interior design o fteh F-150 Foose Edition were made minimal. Its center console armrest is fitted with a full-leather, while the front headrests were provided with contrast stitching and are embossed with the Foose signature. Ford carpeted floor mats with the Foose logo were also added. A personalized build sequence badge turns the F-150 into an official Foose creation.

For admirers who are dying to know the source of the remarkable F-150's design, there are "FOOSE DESIGN" badges on the rear flanks. Ford may also take things further by substituting the F-150 badges on the front fenders with "FOOSE F-150" badges.

Ford's F-150 Foose Edition is scheduled for sale in the first quarter of 2008. No announcements yet have been made with regards to pricing of the number of limited-edition pickups that are to be produced. "They will not be easy to come by," Poore said.

How much is my Fender Rhodes 88 worth?

I have an old Fender Rhodes 88...suitcase kind and it sits on it's amp. It has a few broken keys and I don't have the special cord that is used to connect it to the amp, but you can use a standard quarter inch to connect it (when doing this, though, you don't have control over the vibrato or volume). Anyone have an idea of the value?

Probably somewhere in the $300 - $1,800 range. Depends on the condition and the exact components.
Look on eBay and search for your model and see what comes up. OR Check out the link below to the fender rhodes websites frequently asked questions. Good luck.
