I built this truck from the ground up, and can assure that no corners was cut in the build. The frame, firewall,fender wells, motor, interior, under carridge is all painted shiny black. Underneath looks as good as a new truck. This is a very dependable truck, I wouldnt be scared to drive it anywhere. Does not follow cracks in the road or bottom out, Handles excellent!
BODY: To start its a 1959 chevy apache fleetside, sbw, shortbox. The body is in great shape with minimun rust. It does have a dent or two but they are the charater of the truck. The glass is good, all but the vent windows are cracked. The doors shut very well, as does the hood and tailgate. It has the cattle guard on the front off of a mid 50s wrecker truck (very cool piece).
RUNNING GEAR: Original frame with MUSTANG II suspention,( tubular a arms, drop spindles, big brake conversion, manual rack,[all new]) 400 sbc, (well built with all new gaskets,56 caddy breather,new holley carb,aluminum valve covers, [everything fresh], 350 turbo transmission (new floor shifter,3200 stall convetor,van chase shift knob) coker wide whitewalls ( front 670 r15, rear 760 r15 [new]), straight pipes, 342 locker rear.
INTERIOR: Original styled, black on brown paint, bottom half is semi black bed liner, tach, gas ,temp, oil pressure gauges all work, windows operate great, all new switches installed (headlight,ingnition,ect), nice seat with a few tears, new carpet, 57 steering wheel, original column, tall shifter. pics dont do justice to how good it looks.
OTHER: Mr. Roadster 12 circuit wiring harness, optima yellow top battery, metal visor, The inner headlights are painted blue, and work off a seperate switch, bed floor is raised 3 1/2 inches, flooring is original style with cedar boards and metal painted strips, 59 caddy tailights, original tank behind seat.
Hopefully I covered must of everything, I have alot invested in this truck. It is a real attention hogg at any show, and I havnt got a negative comment yet. The siren and tags are the only things I am removing, Everything thing else goes. I didnt build it to sell but have since found another project so here it is. I will gladly answer any questions and will respond promptly. Thanks and happy bidding! -- 513 CHOP SHOP / NIK WILLIAMSON

Forza Motorsport 6's new drivable Hot Wheels cars are the best
Tue, May 3 2016Each month, Turn 10 Studios releases a new car pack for the latest installment of its Forza Motorsport video game. Sometimes that means less-than-exciting stuff coming to our Xbox Ones – BMW X6M, bleh – but this time our inner seven-year-old is beyond ecstatic. Two of the seven cars are based on actual Hot Wheels models. And. They're. Awesome. First we have the 2011 Hot Wheels Bone Shaker. Yes, there are flames on the side. And yes, there's a giant skull where the grille should be. This one came from the imagination of "Mr. Hot Wheels" Larry Wood, whose design was so popular it inspired an actual real-world creation. Like all good things in this world, it's powered by a small-block Chevy V8. Oh, and it has no roof. This will be a popular one among gamers. The other digitized Hot Wheels creation is a 2005 Ford Mustang. A modest vehicle, sure, but the toy designers have festooned this pony car with a wild paint scheme and the body mods to emphasize it. Originally developed to celebrate the 'Stang's 50th birthday, this Hot Wheels car trades Americana for wild Japanese style. There's just one functioning life-size version of this car in existence as well, but if you look hard, you might be able to find one of the 1:64 scale models that inspired it. Other highlights from this month's car pack include the latest Ford Focus RS – finally time to replace that NASCAR-V8-powered, all-wheel-drive 2009 Focus RS – the 2015 McLaren P1 GTR, the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS, the aforementioned X6M, and Alain Prost's 1990 Ferrari 641 F1 car. The Hot Wheels Car Pack is available for download today.

Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs
Sun, 01 Dec 2013
The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.
