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.

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?
Thu, 21 Feb 2013When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.
Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
