1952 Chevy Hot Rod Custom Built Pickup on 2040-cars
Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States
Completely built from the ground up on a 1994 Chevrolet S-10 frame with Advanced Design Engineering of California's subframe kit by Tom's Rod's and Customs. Body and bed were media blasted, primed and painted with PPG Silk Blue and a metal flake added to the clear coat on the cab for that "60's look". Tom had a sign painter create a logo for the doors....I like it, but if the new owner does not, a quart of the PPG paint comes with the truck. All receipts and manuals, wiring diagrams, etc. are included.
New GM Goodwrench crate 350 CID/290 HP engine with quadrajet carb, GM TH350 automatic transmission from Summit Racing, Lokar shift linkage on the floor. Mallory HEI ignition, Holley electric fuel pump, new power front disc brakes and wheel bearings, rebuilt front end on Belltech drop spindles, Monroe Reflex rear shocks, rear drum brakes. American Autowire wiring harness, new 30" steering column with tilt, Lobeck steering components, pedals and throttle linkage, Haneline gauge package, custom dual exhaust. Power-assisted steering. New chrome Vintique 15"x7" rear wheels, 15"x6" front wheels shod with Coker American Classic radials (235 and 215). New Vintage Air Conditioning/Defrost/Heat made expressly for this series of Chevy trucks, and it blows cold air. Temp gauge never gets over 190*. Cab roof and doors have been soundproofed and insulated. New headliner. New outside rearview mirrors. New Stainless and Pine bed. Wood treated with Minwax Spar UV protected satin polyurethane. All the glass and rubber are new. Truck was built to be super dependable and be a good driver and it is. A few minor scratches here and there, and the hood support springs vibrate a bit. Removed the little stereo Tom had in the glovebox but had to remove it to make way for the Vintage Air ductwork...but there is some good space behind the glovebox door for items, just not deep enough for a radio. Speakers are still in the doors. There are several AM/FM stereos that fit in the dash without cutting...just remove the plate behind the plugs. Classic Parts of America sells one for $180.00 and there are others to choose from. |

Race Recap: Rolex 24 at Daytona was fast and feisty
Mon, Jan 26 2015Let the record show that victory at the 2015 Rolex 24 at Daytona went to the No. 02 Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates Target/Ford EcoBoost Riley DP driven by Verizon IndyCar drivers Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan and NASCAR drivers Jamie McMurray and Kyle Larson. The winner did 740 laps to cover 2,634.3 miles in 24 hours and 57.667 seconds. That's a statement to this year's pace in spite of 18 cautions, two more than last year: the Michael Shank Racing Ligier got pole with a time of 1:39.194, slower than last year's pole time of 1:38.270; however, the winning car last year only did 695 laps. The fight for top honors was shaved to a four-car battle over the first third of the event. The No. 02 Ganassi car took the lead on the first lap, swapping it well into the night with the No. 01 Ganassi car, the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Corvette DP, and the defending champion No. 5 Action Express Corvette DP, all of them staying within about 20 seconds of one another. The Action Express car had a fuel connector come loose and lost three laps getting towed back to the pits to have it reattached, but was back in the lead 18 hours in. The No. 01 Ganassi car dropped out with recurring clutch problems 22 hours in, retiring not long after. A race-within-the-race is where the concluding action happened, a seven minute, 30-second dash from the end of the last caution to the checkered flag. During the penultimate pit stops with an hour to go, Dixon was in second place followed Jordan Taylor in the Wayne Taylor Racing DP into the pits but beat him out, taking the lead. The Action Express car was in third. In the last pit stops of the race, Dixon gained even more time, getting a four-second advantage over Taylor. Then a full-course caution came out twenty minutes before the finish when a Prototype Challenge car hit the wall and caught fire, bunching up the field. That closed the pits, but the Wayne Taylor Racing car had to pit during that yellow because of a miscalculation of driver time. No driver can be behind the wheel for more than four hours in a six-hour period but Jordan Taylor was going to go over, so he came in to swap out for brother Ricky. That cost the team any chance of second place, since they took an additional drive-through penalty for entering closed pits. When the track went green again, Sebastien Bourdais in the Action Express car stayed all over Dixon for the final five laps but couldn't get around him.

GM expected to debut two new crossovers at Detroit Auto Show
Thu, Dec 15 2016Next month, General Motors is expected to debut two new crossovers at the North American International Auto Show. That's according to Automotive News and The Wall Street Journal, which reports that the successors to the aging Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Terrain will finally make their debut. The two crossovers have been on sale since 2009 and 2010 respectively and are due for updates as the competition has newer models on the market. Both crossovers play in growing market segments where sales success is crucial for the respective brands. GM, and the automotive industry as a whole, has been shifting its focus towards crossovers in the last few years. The Traverse and the Terrain are some of the oldest SUVs on the market and are in dire need of an update. GMC's Acadia, the former corporate clone to the Traverse (and Buick Acadia), switched to a new platform in 2016. And the Terrain's platform-mate, the Chevrolet Equinox, was revealed a few months ago. Both the new Chevy and GMC models are expected to go on sale late in 2017 as 2018 models. Look for a follow up to the Traverse's sister, the Buick Enclave, to make an appearance soon.
