I have a flat red bagged Chevy truck that lays on the ground. Everything has been replaced from front to back

Body: this truck is painted viper red base coat clear coat with a flattening agent in the clear to give it the satin finish. the entire body was been media blasted: I replaced the rockers and cab corners and I shaved the drip rail, I frenched in a smooth gas cap to get rid of the factory one. I shaved the vents out of the wiper cowl and I removed the wiper arm assembly but it can be replaced. I shaved the entire fire wall and did away with the factory heat and make the pass side match the drivers side, I also shaved the drain channel at the top of the fire wall. I put outer skins on the doors and shaved the handles and bought a new header panel and tailgate for the bed. Inside the bed is all spikes to replace the bolts that hold the wood in place, wood and stainless strips are all new as well. All front sheet metal is new a also. The sunroof was in the truck when I got so I left it. The rear fenders have been radius cut 3 inches to clear 22's and still bolt up factory

Engine:
Rebuilt 350 with a 488 lift cam and everything is chrome and/or billet. Block is painted base coat clear coat red to match the truck, rebuilt 700r4 transmission with a lockout kit for overdrive to work properly and a new driveshaft. Transmission is sitting on a tubular crossmember as well. Aluminum 3 core radiator with billet overflow and red top optima battery

Suspension:
Frame is painted the same viper red as the truck with shinny clear coat, front clip is painted and rear clip is painted, I did not paint under the cab itself. Front frame is z'd 5 1/2" to lay out on the ground with gussets front and rear to support the work involved. The rear has a big c notch so it will lay out also. The front suspension is out of a '80 model truck so it would be 5 lug and have disc brakes, the hydro boost brake setup is off the same donor truck, rearend is from the same '80 model donor truck and was blasted and painted along with rear disc brake conversion as well. All the suspension is painted house of color Orion silver and clear coated along with the hydroboost pump on the fire wall, wheels are 22x9.5 hello front and rear with painted inserts to match with 245/30/22 tires

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]

Mon, 27 May 2013

If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
