For Sale - 1956 Chevy Nomad. The body of this car has been completely disassembled inside and out. The hood, front fenders, doors and tailgate have been media blasted to bare metal and primed. These panels were temporarily bolted on to take pictures. The roof is about 75% stripped by chemical stripping. I cut out the original floor from the seam at the firewall to the seam in front of the shock mounts. I installed a 1 piece floor but it's not not welded in. It has been screwed together at the flanges with tech screws. This new floor has integral inner rocker panels. New outer rocker panels were installed at the same time. It will need some metal work to fit the floor to the side walls at the rear seat area. I chose not to get any welding done because I think that the body should go to media blast then primed and fitted again before final welding. The passenger side quarter panel was replaced at some time but it doesn't look like a good job and it will have to be done again. There was a ton of bondo there. The drivers side was not as extensive as the passenger side and should be able to be reworked. I have 2 quarter panels from a 4 door wagon, no rot, that I had media blasted and primed if needed. I do not have any interior door panels, kick panels headliner etc. I took pictures to show the parts in groups of interior trim, exterior trim, bumpers , etc. I have all of the trim parts except the scripts for the quarter panels and tailgate. I have more pictures of the exterior window and door trim and can take more pictures of anything that you want to see. I have the seat springs for the bottom and back of the rear seat but there is no front seat. There is a complete front bumper and only the center section of the rear bumper. The motor is a 283c.i. out of a 58 chevy. It has a rebuilt powerglide. The frame is in great condition, very clean, no rust. It has 2" dropped spindles with front disc brakes, most of the brake lines are done. The rear brakes and emergency brake parts inside the drum area are all new. The ball joints are bolted in so they had been replaced at some time. I have all of the glass but only the back glass is good, the rest is cracked and discolored.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General 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.
GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow
Thu, 14 Feb 2013After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
