This custom Bel Air has received a total frame-off restoration that includes extensive new sheetmetal. The chassis is from Custom Progressive and is powder-coated in blue that matches the body color. It is powered by a fuel-injected GM LS2 6.0-liter V-8 that is dyno’d at 507 horsepower at the rear wheels. Along with a custom cam, the engine has a Magnuson supercharger with 40-pound injectors and custom intercooler with a remote custom tank. The transmission is a T-56 six-speed manual that has a hydraulic clutch system. Other mechanical workings consist of C4 Corvette front suspension components and narrowed Dana 44 rear end, also from a C4. The power brakes are hydraulic and by Hydratech with 12-inch Wilwood brake rotors and four-piston calipers. The custom radiator has custom computer-activated cooling fans. The custom exhaust system is stainless steel with stainless Flowmaster mufflers.

The interior is custom and executed in leather and suede. Lizard skin ceramic insulating material is applied to the floors and interior roof. The seats are a 2 + 2 layout with full power front seats with a center console. The polished tilt steering column is from Air Ride Technologies and has dimmer controls. Billet Specialties provided the leather wrapped custom steering wheel. The polished, one-piece dash insert is from Pete’s Fabrications and is fitted with custom Classic Instruments. The heater and air conditioning unit are by Vintage Air; power windows with power wing windows and a Pioneer stereo system complete a welcoming environment.

The exterior finish is also custom and utilizes PPG materials. Additional eye-catching details are seen in a stainless steel grille, custom polished billet hood hinges, new Danchuk body badges, custom polished stainless trim elements, Advanced chrome plating, smoothie custom-fabricated one-piece front and rear bumpers, plus Boze Speedster wheels. This is a beautifully built and presented machine that has been stored and cared for in a climate-controlled environment.
