Chop Shop

Chop Shop
The Chop Shop was introduced on February 18, 2010 as the first non-cash generating property in New York. In order to build the Chop Shop, 50 items (10 Cement Blocks, 10 Power Tools, 10 Car Lift, 10 Acetylene Torches, and 10 Shipping Containers) are required. These items can be acquired via gifting, purchased for 1 reward point per item, or by posting for help on your news feed. Each player has two distinctive items available to him/her as a free gift to others, depending on what city you are in. These items can also be added to your wishlist and gifted in the normal gifting process


 * Since March 4, 2010, the chop shop can be upgraded. Each level upgrade requires a certain number of the items used to build the Chop Shop. All building materials and car parts can also be acquired from fighting and from doing jobs.


 * Since April 3, the Chop Shop can be upgraded to level 11 and level 12.


 * On April 8, the number of free gifts available for most players decreased to 1 with the addition of the Weapons Depot.


 * On April 9, Rebel 2 and Solar Flare were upgraded to give 6 stamina and 6 energy respectively instead of 5.


 * On July 2, four cars added for the Gone in 60 Hours event. Future Shock 1985, Sonic Five, General Ulysses and Day Rider 2K
 * On the same day itself, Chop Shop upgrade parts are given to players FREE. A whole set was given (16,16,16,16,16) to players who had a Level 12 Chop Shop

Production
Every day, you are allowed to collect some car parts from the Chop Shop. Chop shop cars are on a timer for the common & rare. Since you never know which one you will get I use this reference: Every minute the car you will get changes randomly, it doesn't go in order. So don't expect the ATV after you just got the limo. Use the reference sheet made by ceege228 to figure out what car you'll get next. The last car you got from random common or rare you will not get again I haven't yet, but that doesn't mean I won't. These are used to build cars:
