1955 Chevy Bel-Air 2 door, no post, frame off restoration with a high attention to detail. 
Where to start?  About 5 years ago, the body was taken off the frame, sand blasted to metal.   All body work and paint was done off the frame and it is very nice.  Base coat clear. 

Motor & Trans:
2004 GTO LS1 with only 48,000 miles on it.  4L60E automatic transmission out of the same car.  It has the factory belt set up with a Vintage A/C bracket & compressor.   
4" polished cold air intake set up with a nice filter.
Sanderson coated headers out to true dual flow-masters 40 series out the back.  Sounds awesome.
Custom made stand alone wire harness and re-flashed ECM.  Everything works and has a functioning check engine light.  Any shop can scan the car, watch data & codes. 
2013 Custom camaro engine cover.  Trimmed and fits very nice. 

Cooling system:
Custom made aluminum radiator with dual electric fans controlled by the computer. You can drive this car with the a/c in 100 deg. all day long and she runs cool.
It is mounted to a custom Billet radiator support and a/c condenser.  Very expensive and polished for show. 

Rear End:
Custom ford 9" with 4 link, coil over set up.  It is connected to the transmission with a custom made drive shaft that was also chromed. 
It has 3:89 Posi set up.

Suspension:
Besides the motor & trans and maybe the paint & body, this is the best part of the car.  It handles like or better then a new Corvette.
Front : 
Heidts upper & lower tubular control arms.  Chromed and polished for show.  Heidts 1 1/8 sway bar.  QA1 coil over with chromed springs.  Close ratio power steering box with all new steering components. 
Rear:
Heidts rear 4 link set up.  All powder coated black.  Coil overs as well, polished for show. 

Brakes:
4-wheel, power disc brakes.   Stops on a dime. 
Front:
CPP 13" drilled and slotted rotor with Zinc plated hardware.  Chromed 2 piston calipers with braided lines. 
Rear:
CPP 12.5" drilled and slotted rotors with a built in e-brake set up.  
 
Frame:
Frame was removed from body, welds cleaned up and sand blasted and powder coated gloss black and look amazing.  All new polyurethane body bushing and hardware were installed.

Fuel system:
Custom made stainless gas tank with a baffle system, installed in the factory spot.  Has a in line electric fuel pump controlled by the computer.  Nice stainless steel lines & fittings.

Interior:
All new interior.  Factory front bench seat with new custom made covers and foam.
Factory rear seat done to match.  Very nice door panels covered to match.  New headliner and polished bows.   
 

Wheels & tires:
Boyd Coddington 18" wheels.
Tires: BFG G-force
Front: 18x8 with 245-45-18
Rear 18x9 with 275-40-18

Extras:
Flaming river tilt steering column.
Billet and leather wrapped steering wheel.
Custom White faced gauges and working clock.  All in the factory spot. 
USA made stereo in the factory spot.  Has I-pod hook up.
American Auto wire updated wiring harness from bumper to bumper.
Vintage heat & A/C.
Optima Red top battery re-located in the trunk with a master shut off.
Every nut & bolt is new.  Either painted or stainless.

There is way to much detail to see in pictures.   This is one car that looks better in person then in pictures.  If you can beleave that. 

The only thing not working as of right now is the E-brake.   I will try to have it done before auction ends. 
This car has been in a couple car shows and has won builders choice. 
This car was built to show and drive.  Fly in and drive it home.    It has about 850 trouble free miles on her since completion.

Any question please contact Joe @ 925-786-1139

I have over 200 pictures I can email you if needed.

Chevy rolls out Silverado HD High Country

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

It's been a good week for heavy-duty truck buyers. First, Ram revealed the Black Package for its HD trucks, then it rolled out its new Power Wagon, and now Chevy's getting in on the action with its Silverado High Country HD. Okay, so it may not pack quite the attitude of Ram's latest 2500-series offerings, but the High Country HD will come as a welcome addition to the Chevy Trucks range to those looking to pull their horse, boat or other trailer without skimping on creature comforts.
Rolled out a little under a year ago, the High Country trim is Chevy's answer to the likes of the GMC Denali, Ford King Ranch and Ram Longhorn. It has until now only been offered on the light duty, 1500-series Silverado, but now extends to the 2500 and 3500-series HD models, as well.
So what sets a High Country pickup apart from lesser Chevy trucks? You'll be able to pick it out based on its chrome horizontal grille, body-color bumpers, 6-inch tubular side steps, 20-inch chrome wheels (18-inch on the 3500 and 17-inch on the dualie) and, of course, plenty of special badging. But it's inside where the High Country makes its mark, with a cabin decked out in saddle brown perforated leather, seats that are both heated and cooled, eight-inch touchscreen with full MyLink suite, Bose audio and park assist functions front and rear to keep those color-keyed bumpers looking fresh. (Though Chevy hasn't yet showed us the interior of the HD model, it'll presumably look mostly the same as the cab in the 1500 High Country in the gallery below.)

Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
