Vehicle Description
Here at Revheads, we love all things badass! Whether it's all
original, numbers-matching or radical custom with nothing left
untouched. Regarding this amazing 1956 Bel Air, we are blown away
by the attention to detail and no-expense-spared mentality behind
the build. Combining the iconic Bel Air body style with a modern
drivetrain and power plant gives you a badass car ready to hit the
streets.
The resto on this Bel Air started in 2013 after the car was pulled
out of a barn. Going big right out the gate, they laid the
groundwork with a Roadster Shop Chassis. Mandrel-bent frame rails
front to back keep the undercarriage extremely clean and easy to
maintain. Framed up with 1x1 square piping, the floors, firewall,
wheel tubs, and inner fenders were custom made and fully
undercoated. The rigid frame married to a Ford 9-inch rear end and
coil over suspension makes this ride amazing and handles corners
like a boss.
New quarters, doors, trunk, and roof skins were replaced with fresh
metal. The front bumper was flipped, narrowed, and tucked, along
with the rear bumper. Door jams were smoothed, and the hood bird
was shaved, giving the exterior a sleek custom look. Once they had
the look, Hydro Blue was sprayed down and covered with six coats of
PPG show clear. The combination of color-matched components and
chrome is perfect and accomplished the look they desired. Adding a
staggered 18/20 set of Budnik wheels to grab the blacktop was the
cherry on top.
Under the hood is a 6.0 LS2 pulled from a 2006 Pontiac GTO, nicely
tucked in between the custom fabricated fender wells and firewall.
Paired with the Tremec T56 6-speed transmission and Texas Speed
cam, you have the entire package of power, sound, and
functionality. Full stainless exhaust TIG-welded and navigated to
perfection behind the rear wheels. Further adding to the modern
drivability is the one-off interior styling, giving the feel of
modern luxury with Hot Rod inspiration. You simply cannot beat the
top-to-bottom combination of this amazing Chevy Bel Air. Explore
