1968 Chevrolet C10 Patina Shop Truck
For your consideration is my 1968 Chevrolet C10 short bed. This truck is as unique and cool as they come. Just
completed a full restoration on the truck in which I will outline below. The truck runs, drives, stops and handles
beautifully without issue, and grabs attention wherever it goes.
The exterior of this amazing truck received an extensive and one of a kind faux patina paint job. The truck was put
back in its original white and red two tone color scheme with the correct GM paint codes. This faux patina paint is
one of a kind, and done to an extremely high standard. We began with PPG base coats to achieve a very realistic
layered look to give the truck a very authentic patina look and feel. After many grueling hours of critiquing and
perfecting the faux patina, the truck was given three coats of PPG high solids satin clear to protect and preserve
the work done. Additionally, the truck received brand new factory lower moldings and trim, brand new grill,
headlights, tail lights, mirrors, bright work, weather stripping, 20" staggered Ridler chrome wheels (20X8.5 front
and 20X11 rear) wrapped in brand new tires. The bed of the truck has been tubbed to accommodate the custom frame
work and larger tires, then was professionally rhino lined to produce a very clean look.
The interior was given a much different approach. Our goal with this truck was to give it an original patina
outside, however recreate the interior to a show quality fully restored level. We began with painting the inside of
the cab top to bottom with PPG red, and sealing it with high solids PPG gloss clear coat. The truck was then given
brand new factory style loop carpet, door panels, kick panels, dash pad, gauges, steering column, Lokar shifter,
mirrors, visors, and bench seat, finished in factory 71/72 C10 black and white hounds tooth fabric. Additionally,
the truck was given a complete brand new Old Air AC system, including vents, box, ducting, control panel, lines,
wiring, fittings, compressor, dryer and condenser. The AC blows ice cold and works fantastic. The interior is of
show quality and looks stunning against the aged patina exterior.
Drivetrain
The truck has a fresh 350 4 bolt main with a mild cam, dual flow master 40 series exhaust with custom Corvette
tips, Edelbrock performer intake, 650 CFM carb and chrome dress up kit. The motor has approximately 3,500 miles
since its rebuild, and is mated to a freshly rebuilt TH 350 automatic transmission. The truck has a custom built
one piece drive shaft, and is driven by a newly built Currie Ford 9 inch rear end. CPP master cylinder combined
with 4 wheel disc brakes stop this truck on a dime! The truck fires up effortlessly every time, runs, stops and
shifts very well and makes for great street or highway cruising. The truck is an absolute dream to drive.
Chassis & Suspension
The under chassis has been bridged, boxed and given a professional C Notch allowing the chassis and body to lay as
low as possible. This truck lays rockers and has a very mean and aggressive stance at any ride height. Firestone
bags, half inch lines and Viair valves gauges and control module make up the air ride system on the truck. The
under chassis has been extensively cleaned and painted, and shows extremely well. Custom braided lines, wiring,
newer ball joints, bushings and tie rods finish out the under chassis. This truck is tight, responsive and handles
extremely well.

Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
