Vehicle Description
This 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air recently underwent a 2-year frame-off
build by Dennys Bowtie Restorations. It is powered by a 355ci V8
Blueprint engine with eight-stack injection that was tuned by the
professionals at FiTech fuel injection. Paired with the engine is a
4L60E performance-built 4-speed automatic transmission with a Moser
12-bolt TruTrac differential. Up front is a smoothed firewall,
Eddie Motorsport billet hinges, a Be Cool polished aluminum core
support, performance radiator and condenser. The engine uses a
American Billet front-runner belt drive system, and the engine,
transmission and differential are painted in Titanium Silver. The
stock frame was customized and smoothed, and crossmembers were
added for support for the high-torque drivetrain. Up front, Totally
Tubular front suspension was fitted with Aldan American coilovers,
Wilwood drop spindles and Wilwood big brakes with 6-piston
calipers, slotted and drilled rotors, and Flaming River rack &
pinion power steering. The 4L60E transmission was custom-built to
handle the high-torque engine and fitted with a Lokar floor
shifter, 3-inch Inland Empire aluminum draft shaft, 1410 Spicer
joints and a Moser 12-bolt differential with TruTrac lock up to
handle high torque. It is equipped with an electric e-brake, as
well as a custom mandrel-drawn thermal polished exhaust with
stainless mufflers. The interior is a Red Wine-color Italian
leather with Wise Guys custom seating and Dynamat Extreme
insulation under German square-weave red wool carpet. It also
features a Flaming River tilt steering column, custom steering
wheel, smoothed dash, custom one-off console that houses switches
for the New Relics power windows, an engine performance display,
Alpine head unit to control a concert audio system, Dakota Digital
instrument system, Fire and Ice display, digital clock, suede gray
headliner with 1955 dome lights, custom one-off trunk, Gen IV
Vintage Air and an American Autowire 28-circuit harness. The body
had hundreds of hours of professional preparation using high-build
DTM PPG primers and hours of blocking to achieve the perfect-look
PPG Granite Gray over PPG Titanium Silver finish, with all original
stainless professionally restored to perfection, smoothed bumpers
front and rear, and all-new tinted gray glass, hood, trunk and
doors equipped with Kindig door handles. The undercarriage is
highly detail and painted in Titanium Silver. This Bel Air rolls on
U.S. Mags wheels with custom gray inserts wrapped in Nitto NT555
tires. This Bel Air was built by Dennys Bowtie Restorations.
