Caldwell, Idaho, United States
|
Started Frame-Off Restoration all pieces have been blasted treated or patched up. This is my unique 62' Truck I've been working on it the past 5 years. I love this truck, but with my growing family, I'd like to re-invest into something that can fit my wife and 3 boys. Gutters removed and smoothed out. Custom Tailgate discreet latches, Tear drop rear brake lights installed on fenders. capped off holes to the bed rails. Lowered with torsion bars. Awesome '62 Truck true big back window truck. The 350 has been rebuilt bored .30 over and all engine parts are new except for the intake and heads. Intake is a single plane eldebrock torker and heads are from a late 60's corvette double camel humps. The inner fenders have been upgraded to new Chrome inner fenders that accent the engine beautifully. These trucks have gutters, but I've removed mine to have a smooth custom look and it looks sharp. hood seams have been welded and smoothed out to appear like the hood was one piece. World Class 5 speed transmission from IROC Z28 Camaro. All paint is from House of Colors. Mixed Tangerine orange with a slick brown. Nice bright orange in the sun, outstanding orange/brown in the shade. This is still in project mode and requires some small attention. Bed area not complete, small over spray on driver door (Minor), I drive this truck so there are signs of use, Carpet, minor wiring, and transmission pedal is stiff, everything very fixable. I have to reduce the size of some photos before I can post a couple others, but I'll try and load a couple more later. I can send more upon request too. They will just be larger files. Truck will include a front suspension disc brakes setup from a 1979 C10 1/2 ton truck. These are essentially universal so if you want disc brakes you can choose to swap. |

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?
Thu, 21 Feb 2013When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If 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.
