This custom 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle is powered by a GM LS3 V8
engine paired with a 4L60 automatic transmission. It underwent a
complete frame-off, nut-and-bolt restoration with all bodywork
stripped to bare metal. The exterior features a custom hood scoop
with wire mesh insert, a smoothed firewall and precisely aligned
body panels with tightened door gaps. All metal finishing was
performed by Paul Blatt before the body was primed, blocked and
finished in Hot Hues DuPont paint with four layers of clearcoat,
each blocked and buffed. The frame was powder-coated black, and the
suspension includes Hoskins A-arms, 1.250-inch sway bar and a
complete rear suspension system. The front end is equipped with
Wilwood front spindles, hubs and 13-inch rotors with 6-piston
calipers, while the rear features a Speedway 12-bolt posi-traction
rear end with Wilwood 12-inch rotors, E-brake assembly and large
4-piston calipers. All brake and fuel lines are stainless steel,
complemented by a Fuel Tank Inc. fuel system with in-tank pump. The
LS3 engine installation includes new harnesses and ECU. The engine
bay features hand-fabricated motor covers and air cleaner, a custom
aluminum radiator, fill and overflow tanks, and power steering
components - all metal-finished and painted to match the smoothed
firewall. The wheel wells were also smoothed and powder-coated to
match the body finish. The original Chevrolet bumpers were
narrowed, smoothed and chrome-plated by Sherm's Custom Plating. The
interior features a handmade aluminum center console fabricated by
Dominator Street Rods and wrapped in leather. Additional components
include a Dico digital gauge cluster, a Vintage Air climate control
system, and custom leather upholstery throughout the seats, dash
and panels with matching stitching. The console features a clock
and shift plate, and the car rides on custom-offset E/T wheels.
