Great project for someone to finish the way they want it! I started out to build a rat rod, which is why I left the body work rough and used satin paint, but I ended up building a really fast and fun hotrod. The car ended up too nice to be left with the body work the way it is.
It has '95 El Camino seats. The driver's seat is power. Lots of new parts: carpet, firewall pad, front floor pans, ball joints (lower), custom grill, exhaust, and all new rubber. Has a 1958 283 with X-58 heads and a GM aluminum dual quad intake with 2 AFBs, and a Saginaw 4-speed transmission with Hurst competition-plus shifter.
Car is fast and fun to drive. Needs a rear bumper, fin trim, headliner and door panels to be complete.
For more information, call Dick at 702-236-1536.

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
