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!

Leak reveals GM's 2017 heavy duty diesel trucks to get 910 lb-ft of torque [UPDATE]

Tue, Sep 27 2016

UPDATE: Chevrolet officially announced specs for the 2017 Silverado HD and the rumors were true. The truck's new Duramax 6.6-liter turbo-diesel V8 puts out 445 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque. Chevrolet says the new motor produces 19 percent more torque and 12 percent more horsepower, while producing 35 percent fewer emissions. Overall, the new engine is a big improvement over the current motor, which generates 397 horsepower and 765 pound-feet of torque. According to Truck Trend, GM's newest heavy duty pickup trucks will pick up quite a bit more power and torque. The publication spotted a recent GM Powertrain ordering catalog that had the engine specs for the 2017 model year and managed to get some screenshots before the catalog was taken down, and they can be viewed here. The screenshots revealed that the 6.6-liter turbodiesel V8 powering the Silverado and Sierra heavy duty models will boast 445 horsepower and 910 lb-ft of torque. This is a substantial gain over the current models' 397 horsepower and 765 lb-ft of torque, and as Truck Trend points out, it exceeds the Ford Super Duty line's horsepower output of 440, but comes short of the 925 lb-ft rating. Truck Trend credits part of this output gain to the new intake system GM will introduce on the 2017 heavy duties. The intake gets 60 percent of its air from a scoop on the hood, with the other 40 percent coming from behind one of the front fenders. GM doesn't reveal horsepower figures in the press release about the scoop, but it does say the cooler air helps with maintaining the engine's output, and that the scoop does produce a ram-air affect, providing more air at speed. As we know, more air plus more fuel equals more power, but there's likely more to the power increase in this engine than only the intake.

Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.

Next-gen GMC Sierra spied with diesel power

Tue, Sep 5 2017

The next generation of GM trucks is arriving soon, and we're expecting a huge leap forward over the current lineup. The Chevy Silverado and the GMC SIerra sell extremely well, but haven't done much to move the segment forward in a long time. The Ford F-150 has an all-aluminum body and turbocharged V6 power. The Ram 1500 gained a diesel and coil spring suspension. These spy shots show that diesel may be in the cards for GM. Some quick shots and copious use of flash show what is most likely a tank for diesel exhaust fluid and a diesel particulate filter, both necessary equipment for any modern diesel. It's unclear what form factor that engine will come in, though GM has a number of engines to choose from, including the 2.8-liter inline four that's found in the Colorado and Canyon, though that may be a little light duty for the Silverado and Sierra. Other rumors surrounding the trucks suggest a move to an aluminum cab while retaining a steel bed. That seems like a reasonable move for GM, even if the company was attempting to shame Ford for its move to aluminum a few years ago. Look for more news as early as the Detroit Auto Show in January.
