1955 Chevy Bel-Air 2 door, no post, frame off restoration with a high attention to detail. 
Where to start?  About 5 years ago, the body was taken off the frame, sand blasted to metal.   All body work and paint was done off the frame and it is very nice.  Base coat clear. 

Motor & Trans:
2004 GTO LS1 with only 48,000 miles on it.  4L60E automatic transmission out of the same car.  It has the factory belt set up with a Vintage A/C bracket & compressor.   
4" polished cold air intake set up with a nice filter.
Sanderson coated headers out to true dual flow-masters 40 series out the back.  Sounds awesome.
Custom made stand alone wire harness and re-flashed ECM.  Everything works and has a functioning check engine light.  Any shop can scan the car, watch data & codes. 
2013 Custom camaro engine cover.  Trimmed and fits very nice. 

Cooling system:
Custom made aluminum radiator with dual electric fans controlled by the computer. You can drive this car with the a/c in 100 deg. all day long and she runs cool.
It is mounted to a custom Billet radiator support and a/c condenser.  Very expensive and polished for show. 

Rear End:
Custom ford 9" with 4 link, coil over set up.  It is connected to the transmission with a custom made drive shaft that was also chromed. 
It has 3:89 Posi set up.

Suspension:
Besides the motor & trans and maybe the paint & body, this is the best part of the car.  It handles like or better then a new Corvette.
Front : 
Heidts upper & lower tubular control arms.  Chromed and polished for show.  Heidts 1 1/8 sway bar.  QA1 coil over with chromed springs.  Close ratio power steering box with all new steering components. 
Rear:
Heidts rear 4 link set up.  All powder coated black.  Coil overs as well, polished for show.

Frame:
Frame was removed from body, welds cleaned up and sand blasted and powder coated gloss black and look amazing.  All new polyurethane body bushing and hardware were installed.

Fuel system:
Custom made stainless gas tank with a baffle system, installed in the factory spot.  Has a in line electric fuel pump controlled by the computer.  Nice stainless steel lines & fittings.

Interior:
All new interior.  Factory front bench seat with new custom made covers and foam.

Every nut & bolt is new.  Either painted or stainless.

There is way to much detail to see in pictures.   This is one car that looks better in person then in pictures.  If you can beleave that. 

The only thing not working as of right now is the E-brake.   I will try to have it done before auction ends. 
This car has been in a couple car shows and has won builders choice. 
This car was built to show and drive.  Fly in and drive it home.    It has about 850 trouble free miles on her since completion.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.

CNG-powered Chevy Sonic, Cruze headed your way

Fri, Nov 7 2014

The value proposition for a Crazy Diamond Performance CNG ride was a little bit better before gas prices took a dive in the past month. Still, the Michigan-based company, which converts some of Chevrolet's compact vehicles to run on compressed natural gas, received approval late last month from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for two of its conversion models. And CNG is still pretty cheap. Crazy Diamond will start selling CNG versions of both the Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. The startup will target fleet operators looking to cut both refueling costs and their carbon footprint. CNG can be found in much of the country in the low $2 range, while the average CO2 emissions are about 25 percent less than those of similar gas-powered vehicles. Average gas prices have tumbled by more than 30 cents a gallon in the last month, according to AAA, but they're still at close to $3. The two models will be able to go almost 300 miles on a full tank of CNG. Crazy Diamond said this summer that it would start selling converted a CNG-powered Cruze that delivers 130 horsepower for as low as $26,000. The turbocharged version goes for about $28,000. Take a look at Crazy Diamond Performance's celebratory press release below. Crazy Diamond Performance recieves EPA approval on its CNG Cruze and Sonic CDP receives EPA approval for its Mono-Fuel CNG Cruze and Sonic. Shelby Township, Michigan, October 30, 2014– Crazy Diamond Performance (CDP) receives EPA approval on its Mono-Fuel Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. Crazy Diamond Performance has received EPA approval on two new mono-fuel small passenger vehicles, the CNG Chevrolet Cruze and CNG Chevrolet Sonic. These new mono-fuel CNG platforms are the first of a series of small and fuel efficient vehicles coming from CDP, where cost, low emissions and reduced fuel consumption is important for not only fleet owners, but to the general public as well. "Soon to be available, are the 1.8L and 1.4L Cruze and Sonic CNG retrofit systems. These two vehicles represent a change in the status quo, with an OEM level integration of the fuel system and its components" states Michelle Fern, Executive Vice President CDP Inc. These vehicles provide flexibility for fleets looking to purchase a domestic small mono-fuel passenger sedan, but have not had an option until now. There are significant emissions benefits over its gasoline counterpart, with an average reduction in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) of 25%.
