History : This truck is the personal weekend driver of one of the owners of Advantage Autoworks In North Richland Hills Texas (Fort Worth). Advantage Autoworks sits on a 3 acre facility in North Texas and has made quite a name for themselves over the last 23 years specializing in mostly Chevrolet, ford ,and some exotics here and there. They employ a staff of 18 people and usually have a 6 to 8 month wait just to get a car in for restoration. Go to advantageautoworks.com to see what type of facility this truck origanated from. The truck it self had about 135 thousand origanal miles on it , seemed to be a very rust free survivor type truck that hadent been around the block too many times. At some point in time had a small block chevy installed (327 ) from a 67 camaro 210 hp based on the numbers. That was a good choice for the time , but had to go for this truck.
Restoration: This truck was completely dissasembled down to just the bare cab and frame, then stripped to bare metal, followed up by sand blasting the cab to top to bottom to kill any corrosion from days past. The body and all pieces were then epoxy primed after any metal work was done to give the truck a good level of corrosion protection. All the body panels were then body worked, primed, blocked, re primed to a very above average high level plat form for the urethane base coat clear coat paint to follow. I would not say this truck is flawless by any means or the straightest truck on the planet, but has a well above average paint and body finish out. My objective was to make the appearance nice enough to show, but I never intended this to be a 200 thousand dollar trailer queeen build, but something I was not afraid to drive.
Drive Train: The truck is powered by a small block chevy engine that was completly gone through and updated with vortec style cylinder heads and eddlebrock vortec style aluminum intake manifold, all high quality internals, high compression pistons (runs great on 03 octane pump gas), gear drive timeing chain, aluminum time chain cover, aluminum high flow water pump, billit pullys, aftermarket performace balancer, aluminum retro style finned valve covers, holley 780 cfm carb, roller rockers, high volumn performance fuel pump, mallery quart style fuel filter, etc.... the list goes on. I never had the engine dyno'd , but feel it makes in the 400 plus range. I wanted to build the truck with enough power to make it fun, but fully driveable and reliable. See the vidio to hear it run , and did a litlle burn out for a block or so to show what fun it can be.Transmission: 700r4 overdrive with performance stall converter, backup up by a 12 bolt posi traction rear end with 373 gears. With the overdrive trans, this gives you great off the line performance , but still allows you to drive 75 down the freeway while monitoring the oem in dash factory tachomitor. Exhaust system: Hooker super competition ceramic headlers backed up by 2.5 inch ceramic coated complete exhaust with flow master mufflers to give this truck an extrodiany nasty sound backed up with a cam to make beatiful music. It has no annoying tone when driving, not too load under normal driving , but sings when you put the pedal to the metal.
suspension/brakes: The truck achived such a ride quality by the following. 1st , the frame was completly dissasembled , sand blasted , then the center section was boxed and reinforced to stiffen up in all the right places, we welding in the new trans crossmmember to accomodate the updated over drive trans, then sent it to the powdercoater to be coated in semi gloss for durability and looks. All the other suspension parts were powedercoated also at the same time. We replace the the rear lower trailing arms with updated reinforced performance onces, install a set of dropp spindles, lowering springs on all 4 corners, kyb gas performance shocks, along with front and rear sway bars to give the truck a ride like no other. The truck has a stance the looks great , but not slammed to the ground . The front brake system is 5 lug disk that would have been on most of the late 70s into the 80s half tone trucks, with a chrome master cylender, booster, updated proportioning valve,et.... The back brakes are truck drums that work great, all rebuilt, new park brake cables etc...
Interior/comforts: The interior was gutted down to nothing, cab painted to high gloss black ,then completly dynamated fire wall ,floors, etc.., then a factroy style firewall pad was installed, followed up with complete oem style new underdash harness , and all new wireing from front to back. The modest sterio system was then installed with an orion 4 channnell amp that powers the front and rear speakes that fill the cab with an awesome sound thats not over the top .The kenwood am/fm cd player is equiped with an auxilliary input for i phones, ipods, etc.... Factory Gauge truck(not base warning lamps) were all tested, repaired, or replaced to ensure reliablility at the time of restoration. Everything inside the truck was cleaned, plated, painted , or replaced along the way. Weather stips, door felts, etc.. all new, glove box liner new, visors,carpet, etc...all new . vintage air/heat was installed to give you all seasons of comfort while driveing, chrome plated ac compressor (not polished ) , works great.,updated aluminum dash control knobs on ac,not cheap plastic like most others.Leather custom seat with custom fit seat brackets , center console folds up for 3 person seating , while it folds down for arm rest, drink storage , and has 2 storage compartments, one below the seat bottom in the center, and one in the flip up arm rest. All 3 sections slide forward ,back, and recline for the optimum flexability. Retractable seat belts also keep things neat and tidey along with the saftey . I have a 10 year old daughter that means the world to me , so I made sure we could stap her in for the fun times we spend in the truck.
Bed/Exterior Trim:The bed was completely dissasembled, sand blasted , and then restored inside and out with a show finish on the inside as well as the outside. Even the interior bed wheel wells have been buffed. The bed wood was hand scraped By Mikes hardwood flooring prior to an automotive grade clear being applied in multiple coats, sanded, then re cleared to achieve the finish . Bed strips were replaced with polished stainless, and all stainless hardware. A Few subltle touches were made on the bed by deleteing the stake pocket holes, deleteing the tail gate latches, and being replace by a high strength stap for holding the gate. Could not bring myselt to seeing those chains dangling and sctratching the show finisn.
ALL CHROME/ALUMINUM TRIM NEW: All trim items such as bumpers, grill, all exterior body side moldings were replaced ,or replated ,along with all the bumper brackets being sand blasted and powerdercoated duiring the restoration. New windshield , back glass , but side glasses are origanal with some signs of wear, but still respectable.
Wheels/tires: Rims are new gm 15x8 painted urethane gloss black , with Bfg radial ta tires , dressed out with wheel vintiques ribbed rings, and bow tie center caps. Some people like the steely wheel look, if you dont , totally change the appearance with a set of magnesium center salt flats, or any kind of aluminum custom wheels, of possibly just chande the center caps to the spyder bullets. I have thought about all these options down the road or just enjoy as is.
Summarry: Is this truck perfect, no its not.It is extremely nice for the money i am asking if your in the market for something you can drive, show, or just own and dont want to be in the 60 to 100 plus category that you can easily do. I do it for a living , you could easily spend 50 plus on a truck you already own in restoration cost, or let me take the bath , but I have enjoyed it for the past 3 years,put about 5 thousand miles on it without a glitch, and nothing in life is free. I am not going to fire sale the truck, just have too many cars right now, and have decided to keep my super rare ,super valuable ones due to storage restraints. Also will be selling a 51 chevy rat/farm ride high end build, classic triumph motorcye, 54 packard caribean convertable, etc....in the near future as i have time to list them.Call with any questions. 817-773-1852 ask for chris.

Bring back the Bronco! Trademarks we hope are actually (someday) future car names
Tue, Mar 17 2015Trademark filings are the tea leaves of the auto industry. Read them carefully – and interpret them correctly – and you might be previewing an automaker's future product plans. Yes, they're routinely filed to maintain the rights to an iconic name. And sometimes they're only for toys and clothing. But not always. Sometimes, the truth is right in front of us. The trademark is required because a company actually wants to use the name on a new car. With that in mind, here's a list of intriguing trademark filings we want to see go from paperwork to production reality. Trademark: Bronco Company: Ford Previous Use: The Bronco was a long-running SUV that lived from 1966-1996. It's one of America's original SUVs and was responsible for the increased popularity of the segment. Still, it's best known as O.J. Simpson's would-be getaway car. We think: The Bronco was an icon. Everyone seems to want a Wrangler-fighter – Ford used to have a good one. Enough time has passed that the O.J. police chase isn't the immediate image conjured by the Bronco anymore. Even if we're doing a wish list in no particular order, the Bronco still finds its way to the top. For now (unfortunately), it's just federal paperwork. Rumors on this one can get especially heated. The official word from a Ford spokesman is: "Companies renew trademark filings to maintain ownership and control of the mark, even if it is not currently used. Ford values the iconic Bronco name and history." Trademarks: Aviator, AV8R Company: Ford Previous Use: The Aviator was one of the shortest-run Lincolns ever, lasting for the 2003-2005 model years. It never found the sales success of the Ford Explorer, with which it shared a platform. We Think: The Aviator name no longer fits with Lincoln's naming nomenclature. Too bad, it's better than any other name Lincoln currently uses, save for its former big brother, the Navigator. Perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree, though. Ford has made several customized, aviation themed-Mustangs in the past, including one called the Mustang AV8R in 2008, which had cues from the US Air Force's F-22 Raptor fighter jet. It sold for $500,000 at auction, and the glass roof – which is reminiscent of a fighter jet cockpit – helped Ford popularize the feature. Trademark: EcoBeast Company: Ford Previous Use: None by major carmakers.
Chevy Volt owners log half a billion electric miles, 2015 production starts
Thu, Jun 19 2014As General Motors gets ready to start 2015 Volt production Monday, Chevrolet is looking back at some of the numbers that got the car to where it is today. The headline number is that Volt owners have collectively put more than a half-billion electric miles on their cars. The unsurprising upshot is that, if you went out and bought a Volt, you're pretty keen on getting as many electric miles out of it as possible. 90 percent of all Volt trips are done purely on electric power. The typical Volt driver goes 970 miles between fill-ups, GM says, and that means that 63 percent of all miles are done on battery power. General Motors executive director Larry Nitz gave AutoblogGreen a few more details on the usage habits of Volt drivers, including that 81 percent of commuting miles are electric. Two-thirds of US Volt drivers charge their vehicle 1.4 times a day, a clear indicator of drivers trying to maximize electric miles through opportunity charging. In fact, Nitz said, 90 percent of all Volt trips are done purely on electric power. GM also says that the Volt's official 35 miles of electric range is still doable for many owners who have had their car for more than 30 months. Looking ahead, we know that one upgrade for the 2015 Volt will be 4G LTE connectivity that can turn the car, like others in the GM family, into a mobile wifi hotspot. We're of course much more interested in when GM is finally going to start production of the next-gen Volt, but GM officials would only tell us that they're very excited about the still-secret vehicle, promising we'll be learning more "soon." Nitz did confirm that today's Volt drivers are most interested in three things from the next-gen model: more range, a lower price and a fifth seat. He did not say whether or not GM will be able to deliver on those requests. Chevrolet Volt Owners Surpass Half a Billion Electric Miles After 30 months of use, a sampling of Volts shows consistent all-electric range 2014-06-19 DETROIT – Since its launch in late 2010, Chevrolet Volt owners have accumulated more than half a billion all-electric miles. Additionally, based on a General Motors' study of more than 300 Volts in service in California for more than 30 months, many owners are exceeding the EPA-rated label of 35 miles of EV range per full charge, with about 15 percent surpassing 40 miles of range.
Is your new-car warranty good at the race track?
Mon, Feb 27 2017We've all heard the horror stories. Your buddy knows a girl that was dating a guy whose best friend's brother once broke his brand-new, recently purchased performance car while making runs at a drag strip or laps at a track day, and the manufacturer wouldn't cover the repair under warranty. True story? Urban legend? Complete crap? Yes, no, maybe. One thing's for sure: Automotive warranties have always come with caveats. In 1908, an ad in the Trenton Evening Times clearly stated: "All Ford Cars Guaranteed for One Year." Although it changed over time, by 1925 the Ford New Car Guarantee only covered 90 days on material and 30 days on labor, and it clearly stated that that there was "No guarantee whatever on Fan Belts, Glass, Bulbs, Wiring, Transmission, Bands, Hose Connections, Commutator Shells, Rollers, Spark Plugs or Gaskets." Whether or not Ol' Henry would pay to fix your Model T if you broke it shaving a tenth off your lap time at the local board track seems to be lost to history. We're guessing no. But what about today? Do new-car warranties in 2017 cover cars when they are driven on race tracks? We researched the warranties of 14 auto brands to find out, and the answer is yes, no, maybe, depending on the brand, in some cases the model, and whether or not your car is modified from stock. Acura has been out of the high-performance car game for a number of years, but jumps back into the party in 2017 with its hybrid-powered $173,000 NSX supercar. And Acura's warranty, as well as Honda's, clearly states that it does not cover "the use of the vehicle in competition or racing events." View 33 Photos So we asked Sage Marie, Senior Manager of Public Relations for Honda and Acura. "If the car is stock, the warranty covers it on a track just as it does on the street. No question," he told us. "However, if the car is modified, say with slick tires or other components that would put higher stresses on the vehicle's parts and systems, then we would have to investigate the circumstances further." Marie went on to say the same would be true for any Acura model or Honda vehicle, including the new 2017 Honda Civic Si. This became a common theme. Chevrolet actually started this practice with the fifth-generation Camaro on the high-performance ZL1 and Z/28 models.
