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.
