1956 Chevrolet Pickup by Blue Ridge Hot Rods
We began with a very solid southern truck and performed the following..
Body
Truck was removed from chassis and totally disassembled.
The cab and all small parts were media blasted .
 Minor rust repairs were made using new sheet metal from Ecklers Classic trucks.
We then replaced essentially the rest of the body panels because we didn't want a truck that was smeared head to toe with body filler.
We added new front fenders, new rear fenders, a complete new bed with all new Oak and Stainless strips, new tail gate, new driver and passenger doors, new running boards, new hood etc..
It was then painted with a custom mixed BASF basecoat/ clear system which we wet sanded and polished to a show quality finish.
We then added all new glass, front and rear windows, left and right door glass with new regulators, vent glass, all new weather stripping etc.
Next up was all new chrome, front and rear bumpers, grille, headlamp trim, window trim, mirrors etc..
We also added a modern Rain Gear windshield wiper system.
Wiring consist of an 18ct Painless Wiring kit with all new plugs and sockets front to back.
All new lighting includes H4 headlamps, LED tail lamps, new park/turn lamps etc.
All assembly was performed using stainless Steel or grade 8 hardware.
The interior is all new as well, it includes Air Conditioning, leather covered power seats, custom leather door panels and console with alligator inserts, a custom leather headliner, leather sun visors, window cranks and door handles from Clayton Machine, new custom instrument cluster from Classic Instruments, Ididit tilt column, Billet Specialties steering wheel with leather half wrap etc...
Chassis
We sandblasted the bare chassis and added the following-
Heidts Mustang II front clip with polished stainless upper and lower control arms, power rack and pinion steering and power disc brakes.
Out back we added a Ford 8.8 rear with 3.73 gears and disc brakes that is held in place with a Heidts polished stainless 4 link kit and polished aluminum adjustable coil-overs.
The chassis was then painted Cyber gray from the ZR-1 Corvette before we added all new fuel and brake lines.
Powertrain
The engine is a new 350ci with a Trickflow camshaft/ aluminum cylinder head package making an honest 400hp, it has a polished 140 amp alternator, polished A/C compressor, polished Be-Cool aluminum radiator, Hooker headers, Flowmaster mufflers etc..
Backing up the engine is a fresh 700-R4 overdrive trans with a mild stall and a B&M shifter.
Wheels consist of Billet Specialties "Street Lites" wrapped with Mickey Thompson Sportsman radials front and rear.

This truck is as clean as they come, ready to be wiped down and register for the shows, or gas it up and cruise across the country!
It literally is all new front to back and top to bottom.
We have over $50k in parts receipts alone so obviously it's not being given away.

Feel free to call or email with any questions!

General Motors Recall List

Wed, Oct 22 2014

It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. We used the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall list to compile a snapshot of all the GM vehicles recalled in the last two months. NHTSA also provides a search engine that allows owners to search for recalls on their vehicle. An automotive company must do everything in their power to notify its customers when a recall is issued on a vehicle. If you own any of the following vehicles and you have questions regarding your car, you can contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, Buick at 1-800-521-7300 and Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339. Or check out General Motor's recall site. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to www.safercar.gov. Here's a brief summery of the other vehicles currently under recall: July 26 – 414,333 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V447000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal and Chevrolet Camaro, as well as certain 2010-2012 Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles, equipped with power height adjustable driver and passenger seats. Problem: In the affected vehicles, the bolt that secures the driver's and passenger's power front seat height adjuster may fall out causing the seat to drop suddenly to the lowest vertical position. Consequence: If the driver's seat unexpectedly drops, the distraction and altered seat position may affect the drivers' control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Solution: Dealers will replace the height adjuster shoulder bolts, free of charge. July 14 – 16,939 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V341000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured October 18, 2010, to June 2, 2011. Problem: In the affected vehicles, vibrations from the drive shaft may cause the vehicle's roll over sensor to command the roof rail air bags to deploy. Consequence: If the roof rail air bags deploy unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of crash and injury to the occupants.

Nissan Leaf sets another monthly sales record, Chevy Volt remains steady

Mon, Nov 3 2014

Here we go again. Another month in the books and another month of record sales by the Nissan Leaf in the US. For October, the world's best-selling pure EV sold 2,589 units, which is 29.3 percent more than October 2013. That makes it 20 times in a row that Nissan can say that last month sales were better than the same month a year before. All told, Nissan has sold 24,411 Leafs in the US this year, a new record, reflecting an overall Leaf sales rate that is up 35 percent, year-to-date. Nissan isn't stopping, either. A new TV ad, one that, "encourages consumers to kick gas" by saving money on fuel will start airing today in major markets, according to Toby Perry, director of Nissan's EV marketing. You can watch it below. As for the Chevy Volt, things remained steady last month in the face of a new model that's coming in the second half of 2015. Chevy sold 1,439 Volts last month, which is about the same as September (1,394) but down 28.8 percent from the October 2013 despite GM having its best overall US October sales this year since 2007. So far, 2014 Volt year-to-date sales are down 14.9 percent through the end of October compared to 2013. And that wraps up the flash report on monthly sales for these two long-standing plug-in vehicles in the US market. As always, we'll have our in-depth write-up of US green car sales available soon. For now, we await your comments, below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]

Fri, 25 Jan 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?
