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 |

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
Chevy's 6.6-liter Duramax is pretty much all new
Thu, Sep 29 2016To say there's a heated battle in heavy-duty pickups is an understatement, with Chevrolet, Ford, and Ram constantly trading blows of increased torque, horsepower, and towing capacity. The latest salvo is the revised, more powerful turbo diesel 6.6-liter Duramax V8 in the 2017 Chevy Silverado. It has 910 pound-feet of torque, an increase of 145, putting it nearly level with the Ford Super Duty. Here's a closer look at where those gains come from. How exactly did Chevrolet add all that torque plus 48 horsepower? The automaker essentially took a fine-tooth comb to the entire engine. Chevy says it changed 90 percent of the V8, and the cumulative effect of those small changes adds up to big increases. As you might guess, the turbocharger is updated. The larger unit features electric actuation of the variable nozzle turbine (VNT), and what Chevy calls a double axle cartridge mechanism that separates the VNT moving parts from the housing. That helps with heat performance as well, with a claim that the exhaust side of the turbo can run continuously up to 1,436 degrees Fahrenheit. Helping that cause are six exhaust gaskets made of Inconel - an nickel alloy that contains chromium and iron – and upgraded stainless steel for the exhaust manifold. Despite having the same cast iron cylinder block, albeit with some minor enhancements, the engine has new cylinder heads, pistons, piston pins, connecting rods, and crankshaft, which have all been upgraded to handle 20 percent higher cylinder pressures. Alongside the increase in pressure, Chevrolet also increased the cylinder head's structure with a honeycomb design. The pattern features high-strength aluminum with dual layer water jackets that not only improve strength, but also optimize water flow for better cooling. For 2017, the cylinder head also benefits from integrated plenum that aids the engine in getting more air under heavy loads. The cylinder head isn't the only component to get a minor update, as the pistons have a larger diameter pin for improved oil flow. The same detailed improvements has been bestowed to the humble connecting rods (second in our hearts only to the inanimate carbon rod). The new design has the bolts oriented roughly 45-degrees to the rod instead of parallel. The angle split design, as it's called allows for easier passage through the cylinder.
Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat vs. Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in latest Head 2 Head
Fri, Jan 30 2015"Olympian" is one of the terms we use to signify the greatest height, the seat of the gods. Yet Mt. Olympus is the second-highest peak in the Balkans ranges, overshadowed by the crest at Musala in Bulgaria's Rila mountains. Both great heights, but one is a little higher. That's how we get the Olympian Chevy Camaro ZL1 pitched at the Musalic Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat in Motor Trend's latest episode of Head 2 Head. The side-by-side spec sheet is filled with farcical numbers. For the ZL1, that's a 6.2-liter V8 with 580 horsepower, 556 pound-feet of torque, a 4,051-pound curb weight, 0-to-60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds, a quarter-mile time of 12.2 seconds and a base price of just $57,800. Opposing that, the Hellcat wrings out its 6.2-liter V8 for 707 hp, 650 lb-ft of torque, weighs 4,449 pounds, does the quarter in 11.7 seconds and has a base price of just $60,990. Except in the case of the Hellcat, when Motor Trend put it on the dyno the machine spit out a reading of 672 hp and 606 lb-ft at the wheels. If there's a 10-percent driveline loss through those beefed-up internals and heavy-duty eight-speed transmission, that means the Hellcat is actually rated at about 750 horsepower and 700 lb-ft. But once they get put on a closed-off strip of coast road in Northern California, there are only a few strands of hair between their respective performances. That's not the case for they sensations provide; host Jonny Lieberman calls one of them, "One of the most incredible cars ever made," and says, "It changes everything." Watch the video above to see who got the verdict and how. Related Video:
