Family Emergency forces sale of all of my projects. This is a custom built 1955 chevrolet first generation pickup. The truck has many many options. It sits on a 83 s-10 frame with disc brakes front, drum rear. Frame was blasted and painted black. EVERYTHING on this truck is new except for the basic truck, and even that has alot of new. Starting with the cab, the inner and outer cab corners were replaced, along with both cowls and the lower pillars, all new. Doors were in good shape, but have new seals, along with new smoke glass, handles and locks. Dash gauges are new also. The engine is a 1984 small block chevy removed from a pickup that had only 43,000 miles and has been completely resealed and added a chrome oil pan, chrome overflow recovery tank,valve coveres, chrome hi amp alternator, billet pulleys, hei clear billet distributor, and chrome fuel pump. Also in the engine bay is a custom fitted aluminum racing radiator and an s-blade electric fan. The grill is a used custom fitted 1951 grill. There is also a new gas tank. The bed, even though these trucks came originally with pine beds, has a custom made spruce bed with new metal strips. I have a new front bumper, windshield and smoke rear glass that has yet to be installed. Tires are all new with used keystone classic wheels. New windshield wiper assembly / transmission arms. The wiring harnes is new but not installed yet. The only items off the top of my head remaining to be purchased is a starter, ignition wires, battery, a couple of battery cables, oil and antifreeze, exhaust, and fuel lines and some gas. This truck is almost finished, but family emergency makes it so I cant finish, but almost everything is there including the updated wiring harness with instructions, gray bench seat, front clear glass, rear smoke glass. Not included is a heater, or ac, (since the truck was mainly to drive during good weather only) glove box door, starter, and battery. The truck was painted with eastwoods rat rod satin black, and some small dents / dings were intentionally left in to give the truck a rat rod effect. New digital tail lights, peep mirrors, headlights and buckets, eyebrows, front turn signals, all interior door handles, arm rests / door pulls, headliner, and visors. I have well over 15K invested in this truck not to mention the time so far and hate to see it go, especially before I got to drive it.

Take a close look at the guts of the Chevy Volt battery, powertrain
Sat, Aug 9 2014Just how intimate would you like to get with the powertrain in a Chevy Volt? If you're anything like YouTube user d55guy, then spending a half hour filming yourself taking apart the battery pack, motor, inverter and more for a look inside sounds like your idea of fun. After all, this way you get to see the cooling system, the heavy safety kill switch and count up the individual cells in the battery modules. Fun! Turns out, we also enjoy languidly paced Volt dissection video goodness, and we think you might want to see it as well. So, we've embedded two videos below and if you don't have a better understanding of how the Volt is put together after watching them, well, at least you can't say we never tried to show you anything. Given that what's really happening here is the organized 'destruction' of an expensive and potentially dangerous object, let's talk safety. There's a serious disclaimer at the beginning of the videos and on the YouTube description page, but we feel the need to repeat the gist of it here: do not try this at home. The creator of the video says he is a trained engineer and has been doing things like this "for the better part of a decade," so he apparently knows what he's doing. With that in mind, watch it all below. When you're done seeing the insides of a Volt powertrain up close, if you need more filmed EV dissection/destruction, check out this video designed for first responders approaching a damaged Tesla Model S.

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
Mustang retakes monthly pony car sales crown from Camaro
Wed, Dec 3 2014Going back to their origins in the Swinging '60s, the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro have been fierce rivals for fans' hearts and dollars. Historically, the Ford often led in volume, but Chevy took the muscle car top spot in 2009 upon the Camaro's rebirth. However, with the launch of the latest Blue Oval pony car, the tide is turning back in Ford's favor. November was the first full month of sales for the new 2015 Mustang, and according to TheDetroitBureau.com, the model did spectacularly well. The Blue Oval shifted 8,728 of them, up 62 percent from same month last year, with the automaker proclaiming it the model's best November sales since 2006. Conversely, 4,385 units of the Camaro were delivered, down 13.5 percent year-over-year, meaning its sales were roughly half that of the new-generation Mustang. Ford is understandably happy with the results, and product development director Raj Nair even hinted to TDB that another version of the Mustang might be unveiled at January's North American International Auto Show. Rumor has it that the model will be the even more potent Shelby Mustang GT350R. Despite the Mustang's November success, the Camaro outsells it year to day. So far in 2014, Ford has sold 73,124 Mustangs versus 79,669 examples of the Camaro. With December offering the last chance for an overtake, the Bowtie may yet remain king for this year's sales crown. A new Camaro is peeking over the horizon, as well. It's reportedly moving to the Alpha platform used by the Cadillac ATS, and production could start in late 2015. Prototypes are already testing at the Nurburgring, and camouflaged examples have been spotted weirdly being compared to its '80s forefather.
