1946 Chevrolet hot rod /rat rod pickup with a clear Nebraska 1946 Chevrolet 1/2 ton title. This is a fresh build with no expense spared. This truck was built on a new 2X3 tubing frame with a new Speedway 4-link rear suspension with coil overs and a Speedway drop axle front end with hair pin radius rods. The brakes are all new and rebuilt. The front are new Speedway disc setup. The rear are stock 9-inch drums that have new wheel cylinders, new shoes, and all new hardware. It has a new master cylinder from Speedway with residual pressure valves on both front and rear with a proportioning valve and all new hard lines and new rubber lines so it stops on a dime. The tires are new Coker Classic 3 inch www. The engine is a 350 four bolt main block that has been gone thru, with a slightly larger cam for that hot rod sound and topped off with an aluminum intake, a new Edelbrock carb with electric choke, and an HEI distributor to make it a maintenance free daily driver. The transmission is a turbo 350 that has been gone thru and resealed so it shifts great. The rear axle is a GM 10 bolt out of a 79 trans am with 2.56 gears - it will cruise down the highway no problem. It has new oil and was cleaned up, all brackets were removed and the new 4 link brackets were installed then it was finished in a black ceramic frame paint. The cab of the truck was chopped 3 inches, but was not channeled so the stock leg room was left intact. The roof of the truck was painted with a silver base then the gold lace and designs were applied along with the silver flake in the center panel. It received 4 coats of House of Colors Kandy Tangerine then two coats of orange pearl before the clear was applied. The bed is from a early 50s International pickup that was shortened and topped with a very nice cover wrapped in marine grade vinyl that will withstand the elements. The fuel tank is hidden under a hinged door and the ammo can in the bed holds the battery and a fuse panel. The taillights are 59 caddy the headlights are new from speedway. We retained enough of the original bed for that cooler so you can still bring your cold beer to those car shows. The radiator is a new BE Cool unit wrapped in an original model A shell. The interior is painted a tan color with a new fabricated bench seat, all new gauges, and a new B and M shifter. This is a very neat old truck that has only been shown once with very good reception from young and old alike.

Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.
Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic
Mon, Oct 24 2016Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
