Based on an Eric Brockmeyer rendering, Justin Smith and his team at Smithy Customs crated a detailed piece of art with subtle updates to the original. The no expense spared build was completed in 2023 and immediately toured the show circuit. Some of the awards include Millwinders Top 7, Full Radical Handbuilt Custom and Full Sports 1st Place at AutoRama, PPG Street Machine of the Year Contender at the Goodguys Nationals, Meguiar's Magnificent Masterpiece at Summit Racing Lone Star Nationals, Elite 8 and Best Car at Texas Elite Auto Showcase. It was featured in Goodguys Gazette Magazine and Wheel Hub Magazine. It was outfitted with a big block style hood and the side body line was modified with integrated fender flares. The body was finished in House of Kolor Silver Nebula Metallic. Exterior appointments include a removable hard top, chrome plating by Speed and Sport, LED front flashers and tail lights. It rolls on 18” and 19” C7 Schott Wheels. The rear body was modified with hand fabricated mini tubs to accommodate the massive Hankook Red Line 325/30-19 rear tires. The full custom red leather interior was crafted by Aaron Davis at Innovative Rides. Some of the interior features include Dakota Digital HDX gauges, tilt column with Sparc Industries steering wheel, Restomod Air Cyclone S climate control system, power windows and locks, Lokar shifter, Alpine Electronics and JL Audio 2000 watt stereo system. It's equipped automatic headlights that operate from a photo sensor on the dash. The highly detailed painted engine compartment houses the new 525HP GM LS3 engine. Some custom touches include the hand fabricated steel engine cover, air intake, finned valve covers and Concept One serpentine system. The engine breathes through a ceramic Ultimate headers and custom fabricated stainless steel exhaust system with side pipes. The engine is coupled to a new GM 4L70E automatic transmission. The undercarriage is highly detailed throughout. The body sits on an Art Morrison GT Sport Chassis with independent rear suspension. The floors were finished in textured paint for durability and chassis powder coated silver. The stopping power is provided by Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes with red calipers and slotted rotors utilizing a hydroboost system. It's equipped with an E-Stopp electric parking brake. Since completion it's only traveled 133 miles and was recently serviced by Smithy Customs.
