Vehicle Description
This outrageous 1956 Chevrolet custom pickup is known as "Heavy
Metal 1." The over-the-top, award-winning custom build was featured
on the TLC show "Rides." Powered by a 5.7-liter Chevrolet LS1
engine with Magnuson supercharger, backed by a Bowler's Performance
700R4 automatic transmission. With cameras rolling, the crew at
Scott's Hotrods 'n Customs took the '56 Chevy truck and whittled,
molded and sculpted every panel from front to rear, inside and out.
There are countless hand fabricated parts - from the all-steel
body, the front grille, exhaust, taillights, body, frame and
wishbone front suspension to the custom leather interior, dash and
interior panels. Best Truck and Best Radical Truck honors were
bestowed on this topless wonder at the Detroit Autorama. A truly
one-of-a-kind piece of art on wheels, the time, energy and money
that went into this build is on full display everywhere. From the
polished custom racing wheels to the smallest fastener, it is
custom-fabricated and chromed or polished to the highest level.
