I have owned this truck for 2 years now. The truck has a rust patina on the cab and the truck bed still has a little paint left on it. The truck is fully driveable, you can take it on the freeway, it can take a corner well and the parts that I used to build it are all quality parts. A local shop here has helped it get to this point so I would say it's a fairly professionally built truck. What I haven't finished is the look of the truck, I think the bed would look better stripped of paint and a few other details which will be the new owner's decision now. This is a completed truck, not a project truck. The truck has a VIN, it has passed inspection, it has a license plate, it's registered and street legal. For anyone that isn't familiar with California it's very tough getting an old truck registered and for it to pass inspection, all that has been done. I drive the car, it has insurance and it's registered to my name and I have the title in my hand.

The cab is a 1939 chevy truck cab that has been narrowed and channeled 4 inches. The frame is a 1930's frame that has been boxed, Z'd, with tubular reinforcement and cross member. 1937 ford front end, 1987 ford ranger rear end. Discs in the front that are as good as new, drums in the back, fully rebuilt. Turbo 350 transmission was professionally rebuilt in 2011 and the engine is a 1970 305ci engine with less than 1500 miles on it after its rebuilt. No leaks from front to the rear. Exhaust is street legal with mufflers, cherry bombs but it isn't too loud so it's ok around a neighborhood. Headlights, turn signals, reverse and brake lights.

The interior is very basic, hurst shifter, gauge cluster is in but nonfunctional. Ignition switch is basic aftermarket unit. Battery is a super light Odyssey unit. The gas tank is a 5 gallon gas canister. I have an extra one if you need more mileage out of the car. The brake assembly is a CNC hydraulic kit. The gas pedal is a 1989 ford mustang piece. The carb is an edelbrock street carb. The front windshield is Lexan. The side windows are functional but cannot be rolled up all the way due to the chop. The glass is broken on the right side.

The issues the truck has are as follows: The gas tank only hold 5 gallons, if you need more range you will need to add a second tank which I have available. There is no grill, I have the grill but never installed it which is only a cosmetic piece but I think important to the look of the truck. The radiator has a small leak that will require its core to be replaced. A new radiator is $150, rebuilding the core would be about $90 which includes labor. The truck bed needs it's paint stripped for the truck to have a more cohesive look or the cab needs a similar pain. The seat belt is fully functional but only a lap belt. If you going to drive on the freeway I would recommend a 3 point seat belt. There is no rear windshield and I like that look so if you prefer otherwise either a metal grate or Lexan would look good there. The battery has 550 cca which is a little low especially on hot starts so you can either replace with a larger battery or redo the wiring to avoid hot start problems. It still starts up every time but it will be finicky if left the way it is.

The shop that has done all the work on this truck can take care of the extra gas tank tank and fix the radiator leak. If you are interested you can contact the shop to have the work done. Total should be $250 or you can do it yourself. It would be very easy work.

Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum

Fri, 02 May 2014

Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.

Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.
