The body/frame have no rust or bondo at all. The pass floorpan has a small hole about the size of a quarter. The truck was stripped/painted last year Ratrod black with metallic silver/purple chrome flames. It has a Phantom grill with a custom fiberglass front dam and rear roll pan. The engine is nicely detailed with chrome and aluminum. The interior is basically stock and is currently out of the truck. The front seats are factory Recaro seats out of a Recaro PMD Trans am. The center console is out of a 1980 Z28 and has been fabricated to fit the 5 speed shifter.
I have over $7500.00 invested in the truck, unfortunately I don't have the funds right now to complete it. It has been sitting inside my father's shop for the last year and I can't see it just sit there anymore. The truck is about 90% completed. I have about 100 pics of the restoration...from start to current condition. The exhaust is just mocked up and will need to be custom bent to clear the trans crossmember. It will need new tires soon. The engine will need to be dailed in as well. I have'nt had a chance to get around to setting the timing and adjusting the carbs. It does run/drive but should be trailered to be on the safe side. Any questions, please call me @312-459-4294. Thanks, Dave

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production [UPDATE]
Sun, Jan 25 2015UPDATE: A previous version of this story indicated that Orion Assembly would be idled for seven weeks, from February 16 through April 6. This was incorrect. The factory will instead only be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6. The story has been edited to reflect this. General Motors has announced that the factory responsible for the Buick Verano and Chevrolet Sonic will be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6, with blame being placed on excess supply. The Orion Assembly plant, about 45 minutes north of GM's Renaissance Center headquarters, employs about 1,800 people, but they'll be given a pair of furloughs as inventories of the sub-compact Sonic and premium compact Verano reach 127 days and 84 days, respectively. That works out to 26,600 Chevys and 9,800 Buicks waiting for buyers. According to Automotive News, the compact Chevy sales bested the industry average in 2014, jumping up nine percent versus the the overall segment's eight-percent gain, while the Buick sedan's sales were down four percent. When asked about the shutdown, a GM spokesman told AN that it will "build to market demand," while also pointing out that the company did not comment on production plans.
