1963 chevrolet impala,texas car.when i bought this car it had been sitting for a while.my buddy josh[as seen on discovery channels texas car wars]and i took it apart and lovingly poured our hearts into this rebuild.it is not a frame off rebuild although i spent many hours under the car with a wire wheel and pressure washer getting every nook and cranny clean.i spayed it down with rust killer three different times and washed it time and time again.the main rust areas were at the truck lid reciever[near bumper] and cab at the rain gutters.here is where josh worked his magic.the parts we could buy,we did.the others were cut out and reproduced with a metal brake and some seriouse massaging.all those areas are rust free and coated professionally with the proper primer and paint.floor pans were not bad although we did do a few repairs. i primed the entire floor and then put in a sound deadning mat thruought the whole thing.i then installed the correct new black carpet and pad.the truck was treated to the same.i used the speckled trunk paint for that and even have the old school mat in there.josh went through the entire body.took it down to metal,repaired any sheet metal,primed and painted. in total there is not more than a half gallon of bondo on the car.in my opinion that is very good.im a stickler for doing it right and we did.as you can see the paint is awesome.ill bet there are at least 30-50 passes of varying lines,panels,lace,flake etc... on the top alone.ghost flames,pearl lines,lace panels,scallops thruought the rest of the car. i chose a factory color for the body as i feel it is important to be able to reproduce it if needed.lots of pearl!!!!
the motor is a very peppy 383 that i got from tough dawg motors.[the name is cheezy,i know]these guys can build a motor though. they claimed 450 hp.i was getting 400 when i had it dynoed.the guy told me w a different carb and bigger exhaust i could get to the 450. for me its plenty!i can probably find the build sheet if you get interested.what i will say is that its top notch.i payed nearly 4k for the motor alone.i have an edelbrock hi rise intake,edelbrock 700 cfm carb,borg and warner super t-10 4 speed tranny.pretty cool little custom piece i made is a motorcycle chain for a throttle linkage.aluminum radiator.it has never gotten hot on me and im not even running the shroud. originally i had a dual electric radiator fan but it didnt work as well as the set up i have now.heavy duty alternator.just put a new battery in it yesterday.slam specialties air bags,dual chrome compressors,dual tanks,3/8 valves on a smart manifold.one of the front lines leaks down very slowly[48 hrs]i have a decent sound system with an amp and has plenty of thump! there is very little the car needs to be complete.ive been rolling this car like this for five years and it is a head turner and panty dropper! seriously ,for a car that looks lowrider its super quick! super cool and plenty of street cred. any questions feel free to ask.i have countless hour in this car and quite a bit of money tied up in it as well. im trying to build a house and am selling a few things to be able to do so.i have a box of new weatherstripping,seat belts etc.. that go with it.its all yours if you buy it. this is not a bondo bucket or some sloppily built ride.its clean and correct,not completly done but correct. thanks for your interest,bill |

Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows
Wed, 13 Mar 2013While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.
GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada
Thu, 21 Feb 2013Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.
Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
