Just finished fresh rebuild on this cool looking 51 Chevy. Started with front end and cab, everything else is new or rebuilt. It took eight months to build and  turns heads every time you take it out.

I'm going to start from the ground up so I won't forget anything.

Frame is rust free - no patches or welds. Truck has new brake lines, new brake shoes, drums turned, and new springs and hardware. Also new wheel cylinders and master was rebuilt, brakes work great.

She has a 68 Camaro 12 bolt rear end (corporate). Drive shaft is new as are the u-joints. New Monroe shocks front and back.

Engine is 70 chevy 307 completely rebuilt with less than 100 miles on it.  New rings, heads rebuilt, new oil pump, has Chevrolet L-79 camshaft (same lift and duration) cam is Mellings . Intake is Edelbrock performer with an 1850 Holley 4-barrel (600cfm). New flex fan, water pump, fuel pump, starter, new points and condenser, new plug wires, new spark plugs, new motor mounts, and new air cleaner. Also all fuel, radiator, and heater hoses as well as trans. cooling lines are new.

Original radiator has been cleaned and restored and runs around 190 degrees with a 180 thermostat. Also has new transmission cooler.

Transmission is newly rebuilt turbo 350 with less than 100 miles on it. Also has new flywheel and torque converter.

Shifter is brand new Lokar with the tall handle.

New engine-to-frame mounts from Classic Truck  welded and bolted with new trans. mounts also.

Seat is completely rebuilt original with new material, padding and cover.

truck has original dash with new gauges and original speedo. New door panels and glove box.

New aftermarket heater and defroster and new 2 speed electric windshield wiper motor with new blades. Also has turn signals.

Truck has all new wiring harness and 12 circuit fuse box. Lights have been replaced and parking lights and tail lights have been converted to turn and brake.

New battery and new one wire alternator. She is now an all new 12 volt truck.

This is a rust free truck. Front and back fenders are original as is the grill, bumper, splash pan, radiator support and inner fender wells. Cab is all original with 1952 doors.  There are 2 or 3 Quarter size areas of light filler in doors for door dings, the rest of this truck is steel. We welded some splits in the rear fenders where they mount to the bed but we left all the dents in the rest.

The bed is mostly new as we didn't have one to start with. Cab end, both sides, wood, wood strips, and all cross sills are new, tailgate is original with new hinges.

Chevy steel wheels with baby moon hubcaps with new tires.

All new exhaust with side pipes.

She has all new glass and weather stripping- none around DS door.

Newly sealed gas tank with new steel line.

I don't care for the way these trucks look with the hood on them. However I have a hood with all the trim and hinges and springs that will go with the truck if the buyer so desires. Also have original sun visor if interested.

As you can see this is a very nice truck, lots of new with lots of original, lots of time and money invested. This truck turns heads whenever it gets out on the street. I wanted the rat look with the dependability of a solid truck that was sound mechanically.

Paint is Kustom Shop Hot rod Flatz. Single stage Urethane. Bed wood has three coats of truck bed liner on both sides

Also has new outside door handles and rear view mirror.

Need to sell this truck to fund future projects.  The reserve set is reasonable for what this truck is.  Email for any questions you may have.  Thank you for your interest in this truck, it really is nice and fun to drive.

This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."

Nissan Leaf sales get January jump as Chevy Volt trends downward

Mon, Feb 3 2014

The cold January sales dip hit both the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt last month, but when compared 2014 to 2013's first-month-of-the-year sales totals, one of the two early plug-in vehicles obviously came out on top. The top Leaf market also shifted away from Atlanta for the first time in months. Last year, the Leaf sold just 650 units in January, but it managed to move 1,252 last month, a 92.6-percent increase over 2013 but a big drop from the 2,529 sold in December 2013. Paige Presley over at Nissan told AutoblogGreen that the Leaf has now broken sales records for 11 months straight and that, "we see unique seasonality with some December pull-ahead demand based on federal and state tax incentives." The number one Leaf market also shifted away from Atlanta for the first time in months, moving back to San Francisco. That change could be short-lived. "We had some inventory constraint issues early in the month in Atlanta with end-of-year demand depleting stock," Presley said. "By the time we resolved that, the weather hampered sales." There was not as much good news on the Chevrolet front. Last month, the Volt sold 918 units, down from 1,140 in January 2013 and 2,392 in December 2013. It also marks the first time the Volt has sold in the three-digit range since January 2012, when it sold 603 copies. That string of solid months means that the plug-in hybrid has a roughly 12,000-unit lead over the EV since the two cars brought plug-in vehicles back to the mass market all the way back in December 2010. We will have our full report of January's green car sales up soon.
