1956 Chevrolet Bel-Air Convertible project

I was building this car to be a Pro-Touring car, but the shop I had it at has closed….. so it’s time to cut my losses and move forward.

As I said above, the car was being built as a Pro Touring 1956 Bel-Air, so I do not have the original frame or motor for the car. I had a custom chassis made by Street Rod Garage in Grant, Alabama http://www.streetrodgarage.com/srg-force555657chevychasisbuilderspackage.aspx

This car is not a roller at this time. The chassis is bare bones right now, but it still cost over $5,000 to hand-build. There is also no interior or engine with the car, so you can choose your own.

When I bought the car it had some really poor bodywork done, so I decided rather than patch every panel I cut everything off from the cowl back and that way I would know that I have solid metal. I ordered over $14,000 of metal from Cars Inc. (I still have the receipts). Everything from the cowl/dashboard back is brand new from Cars Inc./Harmon’s. The only parts that are installed are the floors, doors, mini-tubs, and a few braces. Everything else is primed and ready to be positioned and welded. The front fenders are original and need the lower quarters repaired (which I also have the patches). The hood is original and in excellent shape and already primed. The brand new convertible doors have shaved door handles and they have already been body-worked as well. The rear deck lid is also shaved, body-worked, and primed. The cowl has been smoothed and body-worked along with the dash. I also have the original convertible top frame which is in very good condition and painted black.

I have lots of parts that go with the car, so please look through all of the pictures: Weather-stripping package still in the box, some stainless is brand new as you can see in the pics, qtr molding brand new in the box, most or all of the stainless is there, windshield, gauge cluster, quarter windows, heater box, etc....

The car is located in Crown Point, IN

Please let me know if you would like to come out and look at the car and all the parts I have for it.

Nissan Leaf keeps plug-in vehicle sales crown for 6th straight month

Thu, May 1 2014

And Nissan makes it 14 in a row. For the 14th straight month, the all-electric Leaf has had "record sales," according to Nissan's marketing team. What that means is that for that particular month (in this case, April) no matter what year you look at, the car sold more than it ever did before. For April 2014, the 2,088 Leafs sold represents a 7.8-percent increase from 2013. Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said in a statement that the "new market" of Cincinnati made the top 25 list for Leaf sales areas in April, so the car's popularity continues to ebb and flow across the US. Over at Chevy, the Volt sold 1,548 units in April, reaching a year-to-date total of 5,154. The Leaf is outpacing that with 7,272 YTD sales. In 2013, the Volt outsold the Leaf by about 500 vehicles, but Leaf sales are up 33 percent year-over-year while Volt is down 7.1 percent. The Leaf has also outsold the Volt for six straight months. But we're excited for every eco-car sale, and that's why we'll have our monthly detailed write-up of the rest of the plug-ins, hybrids and diesel vehicles available soon. Until then, discuss.

Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video

Mon, Dec 7 2015

With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.

Thanks for keeping us on our toes, Detroit Auto Show [w/poll]

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Here at Autoblog, we love unexpected debuts at auto shows – and judging by our Detroit Auto Show comments and traffic, you do, too. Surprise reveals have been fewer and farther between in recent years with so many ways for vehicles to be teased or leak out, but this week's show has been a revelation. More to the point, it's been a series of revelations, with automakers from around the globe successfully delivering a brace of concept and production surprises. It's made our jobs a lot more exciting and challenging this week, and even though it's actually more work to react and run-and-gun when the sheet is pulled on a surprise reveal than it is to publish an already-written embargoed story, we've had more fun covering this show for you than any domestic show in memory. We hope you've enjoyed the surprises along with us. To that end, borrowing the words of an unnamed automaker PR flack, we'd like to thank the following automakers for enduring "mountain of antacids" and that "creeping sense of paranoia" necessary to keeping ones' wares totally under wraps until the sheets are pulled off the sheetmetal: Buick Avenir concept Chevrolet Bolt concept Ford GT concept Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Hyundai HCD-15 Santa Cruz concept And while we're at it, we'd like to throw in an shout-out to Detroit's substantially revised and revitalized Cobo Center, and in particular, the redone Michelin media center, which is arguably the single best accommodations for writing show stories that we've encountered on the entire international circuit. Well done, everyone. Thank you, and keep the surprises coming. Auto News Detroit Auto Show Buick Chevrolet Ford Hyundai Volvo 2015 Detroit Auto Show
