 This is the third 55 hardtop I've owned and thought I would not sell another one. But, I do have other projects I want to complete so it could sell for the right price, I've owned this 55 since 1989 and it will be hard to list every thing that has been done. I'm an Old School guy and tried to build this as a 60's , 70's hot rod with as little as possible new items. This is my driver and fun car so I drove it for a few years after purchase then slowly started working on it which lead to the body coming off and went from there.  There are new front and rear floors and they are welded in and not finished smooth , but ground and then seam sealed. Underside and frame painted with Emron.  This car took me until 3 years ago to complete due to 5 moves !! Has new quarters and I purchased doors , fenders , and trunk from Desert Valley back in 80's before they were known.  I believe the wheels are 60's astros , from a friends 58 vette he was redoing. Paint is less than three years old and is show quality but, does have some minor chips/scratches due to driving.  New smoked glass ( bottom of drivers window has some minor milkiness)   Custom 57 Buick grill , re chromed head lamp rims and tail bezels , Danchunk one piece rear bumper, new Bird.  /Grill surround original , minor pits. Hood is pinned and have removed bracing and latch, which I have, Heater not installed but I have 2 units. I have the original bumpers, fender wells , missing one lower flap,  and fenders/trunk..The interior  is two years old and beautiful!! CCR column, new hurst shifter am/fm radio Brand new saginaw 4spd from I believe MCR racing in texas. 1968 327 chevy 60 over , new crank etc. 202 head reworked with larger valves  ,30/30 solid cam hooker headers, custom 3inch duel exhaust with summit stainless turbos. It has a offenhauser intake on with two carters at this time which i received from a friend that road races a 62 vette the carbs are 409 chevy units with no choke and they run better than the brand new holley 450's show in the picks. You can have the holleys but I got rid of the 4 inch spacers needed to make it clear the distriburator All new suspension, shocks body mounts drag link tie rods etc.  new fuel and brake lines, sender unit. Disc brake conversion and new cylinders on rear. Tires are Hurst racing tires cheaters on rear. Also has a new Eaton Posi in the rear 373 gears. The only issues I know about the car are I have the original steering box in MANUAL  and it has some looseness , also the fuel gauge reads higher than in the tank and it has a new sender so possibly the gauge which I have another one ,I just keep it above 1/4 tank to be safe. . Also the car has a new Painless wiring harness and fuse box, and a Rain Gear electric wiper set up.  I have installed 8lb door popper on the doors and a manual release for the trunk per cable new 2 inch lowering springs in front, this car was built as an old school Gasser but no straight axle, and I like the custom look that's why the shaved handles trunk etc / Buick grill!!  any questions , Geno 440-822-7600  I'm sure I left a lot out!!!!!

Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

There's only about a week left until we get our first look at the production version of the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan, but Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been looking at the race version of the car all winter. Autoweek has posted a really neat time-lapse video showing just a portion of what it takes to build one of NASCAR's new Gen6 stock cars.
Though the video is quite brief, it does show almost the entire build process starting with just the car's nose, and it gives us a good look at how integral the template is to the final product. As a bonus, Hendrick Motorsports also provided some videos showing two of its teams performing pit stop tests over the winter. The second video shows some of the more detailed aspects of the racecar's rear end, including the stock-looking trunk cutout and a newly mandated rear bumper extension that will be used on super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
To see what Team Chevy has been up to all off-season, check out all three videos posted after the jump.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
