I have a flat red bagged Chevy truck that lays on the ground. Everything has been replaced from front to back

Body: this truck is painted viper red base coat clear coat with a flattening agent in the clear to give it the satin finish. the entire body was been media blasted: I replaced the rockers and cab corners and I shaved the drip rail, I frenched in a smooth gas cap to get rid of the factory one. I shaved the vents out of the wiper cowl and I removed the wiper arm assembly but it can be replaced. I shaved the entire fire wall and did away with the factory heat and make the pass side match the drivers side, I also shaved the drain channel at the top of the fire wall. I put outer skins on the doors and shaved the handles and bought a new header panel and tailgate for the bed. Inside the bed is all spikes to replace the bolts that hold the wood in place, wood and stainless strips are all new as well. All front sheet metal is new a also. The sunroof was in the truck when I got so I left it. The rear fenders have been radius cut 3 inches to clear 22's and still bolt up factory

Engine:
Rebuilt 350 with a 488 lift cam and everything is chrome and/or billet. Block is painted base coat clear coat red to match the truck, rebuilt 700r4 transmission with a lockout kit for overdrive to work properly and a new driveshaft. Transmission is sitting on a tubular crossmember as well. Aluminum 3 core radiator with billet overflow and red top optima battery

Suspension:
Frame is painted the same viper red as the truck with shinny clear coat, front clip is painted and rear clip is painted, I did not paint under the cab itself. Front frame is z'd 5 1/2" to lay out on the ground with gussets front and rear to support the work involved. The rear has a big c notch so it will lay out also. The front suspension is out of a '80 model truck so it would be 5 lug and have disc brakes, the hydro boost brake setup is off the same donor truck, rearend is from the same '80 model donor truck and was blasted and painted along with rear disc brake conversion as well. All the suspension is painted house of color Orion silver and clear coated along with the hydroboost pump on the fire wall, wheels are 22x9.5 hello front and rear with painted inserts to match with 245/30/22 tires

Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015

Tue, Feb 11 2014

Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper. For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011. The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors. While the adoption of SAE J2807 will be helpful for light-duty customers, those interested in bigger trucks will still be left with differing standards. There is no sign of the new tow standards being adopted for the heavy-duty market.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.
