1956 Chevrolet Bel-Air Convertible project This is a real 1956 convertible, not a recreation. I have a clear Indiana Title for the car in my name along with the VIN Tag and Cowl Tag. Style No. 56-1067DTX Body No. L21415 Trim No. 605 (Red / Ivory) Paint No. 711 (India Ivory / Matador Red) I was building this car to be a Pro-Touring car, but the shop I had it at has closed….. so it’s time to cut my losses and move forward. As I said above, the car was being built as a Pro Touring 1956 Bel-Air, so I do not have the original frame or motor for the car. I had a custom chassis made by Street Rod Garage in Grant, Alabama http://www.streetrodgarage.com/srg-force555657chevychasisbuilderspackage.aspx This car is not a roller at this time. The chassis is bare bones right now, but it still cost over $5,000 to hand-build. There is also no interior or engine with the car, so you can choose your own. When I bought the car it had some really poor bodywork done, so I decided rather than patch every panel I cut everything off from the cowl back and that way I would know that I have solid metal. I ordered over $14,000 of metal from Cars Inc. (I still have the receipts). Everything from the cowl/dashboard back is brand new from Cars Inc./Harmon’s. The only parts that are installed are the floors, doors, mini-tubs, and a few braces. Everything else is primed and ready to be positioned and welded. The front fenders are original and need the lower quarters repaired (which I also have the patches). The hood is original and in excellent shape and already primed. The brand new convertible doors have shaved door handles and they have already been body-worked as well. The rear deck lid is also shaved, body-worked, and primed. The cowl has been smoothed and body-worked along with the dash. I also have the original convertible top frame which is in very good condition and painted black. I have lots of parts that go with the car, so please look through all of the pictures: Weather-stripping package still in the box, some stainless is brand new as you can see in the pics, qtr molding brand new in the box, most or all of the stainless is there, windshield, gauge cluster, quarter windows, heater box, etc.... The car is located in Crown Point, IN Please let me know if you would like to come out and look at the car and all the parts I have for it.

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506
Thu, 02 May 2013With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.
PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
