For Sale - 1956 Chevy Nomad. The body of this car has been completely disassembled inside and out. The hood, front fenders, doors and tailgate have been media blasted to bare metal and primed. These panels were temporarily bolted on to take pictures. The roof is about 75% stripped by chemical stripping. I cut out the original floor from the seam at the firewall to the seam in front of the shock mounts. I installed a 1 piece floor but it's not not welded in. It has been screwed together at the flanges with tech screws. This new floor has integral inner rocker panels. New outer rocker panels were installed at the same time. It will need some metal work to fit the floor to the side walls at the rear seat area. I chose not to get any welding done because I think that the body should go to media blast then primed and fitted again before final welding. The passenger side quarter panel was replaced at some time but it doesn't look like a good job and it will have to be done again. There was a ton of bondo there. The drivers side was not as extensive as the passenger side and should be able to be reworked. I have 2 quarter panels from a 4 door wagon, no rot, that I had media blasted and primed if needed. I do not have any interior door panels, kick panels headliner etc. I took pictures to show the parts in groups of interior trim, exterior trim, bumpers , etc. I have all of the trim parts except the scripts for the quarter panels and tailgate. I have more pictures of the exterior window and door trim and can take more pictures of anything that you want to see. I have the seat springs for the bottom and back of the rear seat but there is no front seat. There is a complete front bumper and only the center section of the rear bumper. The motor is a 283c.i. out of a 58 chevy. It has a rebuilt powerglide. The frame is in great condition, very clean, no rust. It has 2" dropped spindles with front disc brakes, most of the brake lines are done. The rear brakes and emergency brake parts inside the drum area are all new. The ball joints are bolted in so they had been replaced at some time. I have all of the glass but only the back glass is good, the rest is cracked and discolored.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works
Fri, 22 Mar 2013When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
How a Texas Hyundai dealer became the Chevy SSR king
Tue, Apr 21 2015The SSR isn't one of the most appreciated vehicles in Chevy's long history. With a style amalgamating the look of a vintage hotrod, convertible and a pickup, it's really serving a niche market right from the start. However, a Hyundai dealer in Texas has turned selling the cult models into a booming business and has become the de facto king of the quirky truck. According to Automotive News, Paul Peebles runs North Freeway Hyundai in Spring, TX, but he's better known in the Chevy SSR community the premiere seller of the weird model through his used car network. The odd venture started in 2010 when Peebles wanted to boost his pre-owned business and bought several sporty vehicles. Among them were five SSRs, and he threw a cookout for owners to get the word out. Things just ballooned from there. Since then, Peebles' used car dealer has had a hand in 447 SSR transactions, and some of those are the same truck coming back to sell again. With just over 24,000 of them out there, that works about to two percent of the model's production moving through just one business. The dealership also sponsors an SSR owners' forum online. Being a major broker for a niche model also means that Peebles often gets rare examples of the SSR, including some of the Indianapolis 500 pace car versions, according to Automotive News. We even saw a bizarre one last year when the business put this shark-inspired truck on eBay Motors. The whole thing also works out well for Peebles' Hyundai business. Specializing in SSRs brings other performance models in as trade-ins, and they can draw folks to the lot to check out the collection. Then, maybe visitors can take a look at a Sonata, too.
