  I have owned this car for 26 years. Recently finished it just the way I want it. I am a car builder, which separates this car from many if not all others out there. There is so much to list on this frame off resto. I'll give the basics but a phone call would help to really fill in the details.
  Zero rust on fully redone body. Including hand rolled 18 ga. cold rolled door skins. Inner door bottoms, quarters, head light caps. All new rubber and seals. All new metal. Minimal body fill--bring a magnet!! Paint is 3 stage ppg, base and clear. Super cool taillights that light up in diamonds. Original fuel tank is accessed through trunk, like a fuel ell.
  Suspension is one of the very special features. As a hot rod builder I build cars for customers who want to go fast down the track. I too want to go fast down the track, but the car was built for street. Tubular A arms, front and rear Nascar torsion bar suspension--not plain old steel sway bars with rubber bushings. The weight transfer of this machine is outstanding. Handles as if on rails. It is a truly unique driving experience in a car like this. Solid strut links from rear end and to frame so the power gets to the ground.
  Big block Chevy bored to 468. Balanced and Blueprinted at Kerslake Machine in Maple Valley Washington. Forged TRW pistons. Edelbrock Aluminum heads with FULL port and polish, 3/8 Manley Stainless steel valves. Elelbrock Air Gap intake with 750 double pumper. HEI with MSD ignition. Custom Hooker stepped headers ceramicoated and wrapped. Custom built aluminum firewall. Crane solid roller cam and gold race solid lifters. Crane Gold roller rocker arms, making it a true roller valve train. Flowmaster dual exhaust. HI flow cooling system with Be Cool Alminum  Radiatior and dual fans. This motor will never bust 200 degrees, under the hardest driving. All new electrical. Every circuit hand wired and fuse protected. 2 speed wipers with delay, Desert cooler Heater system. Billet aluminum Specialties wheels front and back with new rubber. Ididit column.
  Muncie 4 speed M22. aka, rock crusher with cast iron mid plate and new Italian gear set. hurst Shifter with line lock. Shortened Ford 9"with Moser axles and Detroit locker. Currently running 4 11's but a set of 3 90s come with it. As you can tell, no expense was spared with this build, as it was built for me, by me. The interior is bone stock, just the way it should be. I just don't see the logic in padding these interiors with foam and leather and center consoles and digital gauges. YUCK!! There is a small tear on the drivers bench seat. All new headliner, carpet, custom sewn door panels, new window regulators. And of course the car is layered with Fat Mat noise cancelling--floors, doors, even the roof. The bumpers are nice but have a couple of rust spots, and two of the fender trim pieces have small bends in them. This is minor but I want to give full disclosure so there are no surprises. Laser straight body, perfect door lines.
  This motor desktop dynoned at 565 hp and 595 lb of torque. It is a monster when it needs to be, and a nice cruiser when it needs to be. Again, this is not a Vegas project that was whipped together to flip. This is a lifelong build. Unfortunately, I have some major health issues and am forced to sell her. MY heart is broken but I'm hoping she lands in the right hands.
  thanks for looking and God bless.
 please call with any questions 206 850 7954

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
