BLUE RIDGE HOT RODS
1968 Camaro "Copperhead"

You are bidding on a "just completed" Custom 1968 Camaro, this was a two year project involving thousands of man hours as well as the best parts available in the custom car market today.
We began by totally replacing all sheet metal, including the floor, doors, quarter panels, hood, trunk, fenders, valances, inner fenders etc, this was done to ensure a quality build that was not littered with body filler.

Next we installed a Pro-Touring front chassis from Heidts which included tubular upper and lower control arms, a power rack and pinion conversion, polished aluminum coil-over shocks, and a set of Wilwood 14" six piston brakes that are cross drilled and slotted with polished calipers!
Moving to the rear we added an all new nine inch rear housing from Currie which includes 33 spline axles and a Detroit Locker that holds Richmond 3.42 gears, stopping power comes from Wilwood cross drilled and slotted discs with polished calipers, all of this is secured under the car a with Heidts "Pro-G" four link setup with polished aluminum coil-overs, all of which is tied in with Heidts subframe connectors.

Once the chassis was complete, we had Boze make a set of custom forged wheels that measure 20x12 in the rear and 19x9 up front, they were then ceramic coated with well placed polished accents..

 Power comes from a brand new GM 480HP LS3 Corvette engine, we dressed it up with polished aluminum drive accessories and bracketry as well as ceramic coated headers and custom coil covers.

The engine compartment is also home to dual Optima batteries, a custom polished aluminum cross-flow radiator, polished aluminum recovery tank, billet transmission cooler with braided lines, hi- flow electric fan with relay, custom fabricated wiper motor cover etc...
Harnessing the LS3 is the job of a brand new GM 6L80 six speed automatic transmission with tap-shift and rev-match programmed in.

Hundreds of hours were spent modifying the sheet metal to tastefully make the Camaro stand out in a crowd, changes include shaved door handles, shaved mirrors, shaved parking lamps, handmade front and rear fascias, handmade quarter panel and fender extensions, custom hood, handmade firewall, and probably the least noticed yet coolest body mod, we shrunk the front and rear glass openings and raised the glass so that it is flush mounted like the modern Camaro so we could ditch the bulky moldings..

Once the body was complete, we applied a custom mixed BASF Copper Pearl base, then added five coats of Hi-Solid BASF clear coat, once it baked it was wet sanded and hand buffed to a show car finish
On to the interior, we added custom power bucket seats up front, buckets seats in the rear, "all covered in black leather & black suede with nickel plated grommets", a custom water fall console that runs the entire length of the floor which holds power window switches, a GM shifter with tap-shift, LED lit cupholders, in-dash Navigation, custom billet A/C controller etc...

Other notables, all new wiring using 'Painless Products", all new wiper system from "Rain Gear", all new fuel lines, brake lines, glass, trim etc.. 
The list literally goes on and on, true car guys will know what they are looking at when they see it, it's ready to get in and drive cross country or to your favorite cruise night, hassle free and in style!

This is essentially an all new 1968 Camaro that was built using all of the modern drivetrain and creature comforts that make modern vehicles safe and fun to drive..
I will answer any and all questions..

LG Chem's troubled Chevy Volt battery plant hiring once again

Thu, Sep 25 2014

The Michigan battery plant known for paying its workers to do nothing has turned things around and is now hiring more workers, specifically to do something. South Korea-based LG Chem, which runs the factory to supply the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle with its lithium-ion batteries, held a job fair recently to bring on 40 new employees in order to meet higher battery demand, according to WZZM, the ABC affiliate for Grand Rapids, MI. The LG Chem factory is in Holland, MI, about 30 miles west of Grand Rapids, and it made its first batteries last year. Prior to that, though, the factory gained notoriety after a US Department of Energy (DOE) probe found that workers there were getting paid to do, well, nothing. That's because demand for the battery packs was so low that it cost less for the plant to sit idle. The DOE was conducting the probe because of its financial grant to LG Chem. But that was then and today is today. LG Chem is looking to ramp up production in advance of the second-generation Volt. That 2016 model-year version is said to have a longer all-electric range and better performance and will ride on a new chassis, but few official details have surfaced. We will know more when we get our first look at the car at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.
