Started Frame-Off Restoration all pieces have been blasted treated or patched up. This is my unique 62' Truck I've been working on it the past 5 years. I love this truck, but with my growing family, I'd like to re-invest into something that can fit my wife and 3 boys. 

Gutters removed and smoothed out. Custom Tailgate discreet latches, Tear drop rear brake lights installed on fenders. capped off holes to the bed rails. Lowered with torsion bars. 

Awesome '62 Truck true big back window truck. The 350 has been rebuilt bored .30 over and all engine parts are new except for the intake and heads. Intake is a single plane eldebrock torker and heads are from a late 60's corvette double camel humps. The inner fenders have been upgraded to new Chrome inner fenders that accent the engine beautifully. These trucks have gutters, but I've removed mine to have a smooth custom look and it looks sharp. hood seams have been welded and smoothed out to appear like the hood was one piece. World Class 5 speed transmission from IROC Z28 Camaro. All paint is from House of Colors. Mixed Tangerine orange with a slick brown. Nice bright orange in the sun, outstanding orange/brown in the shade. 

This is still in project mode and requires some small attention. Bed area not complete, small over spray on driver door (Minor), I drive this truck so there are signs of use, Carpet, minor wiring, and transmission pedal is stiff, everything very fixable.

I have to reduce the size of some photos before I can post a couple others, but I'll try and load a couple more later. I can send more upon request too. They will just be larger files.

Truck will include a front suspension disc brakes setup from a 1979 C10 1/2 ton truck. These are essentially universal so if you want disc brakes you can choose to swap.

Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.
