For sale in our Dallas showroom is a 1955 Chevrolet Belair that is
truly a show piece ready for its new owner. This stunning Bel Air
just got done with a 3 year frame off resto mod. The current trend
towards resto modding a vehicle has definitely accelerated over the
last years but even with all of the aftermarket support and high
tech goodies available to the current resto mod builder, there
usually seems to be something skimped on or could have been done
better. The case of this Belair is in a completely different league
with no expense spared and a discerning attention to detail that
can only be found in builds of this expense and stature. Starting
with the skin and working our way deeper this first year Tri Five's
main tint is House of Kolor Black Cherry Candy, while the secondary
being Pearl White which is absolutely stunning in our studio lights
and will almost blind you in the sun. All of the chrome has been
redone along with the front and rear bumpers being replaced with
fresh units. The interior was the last stage of the build to be
completed and at a tab of over $9k it shows. The seats, door
panels, console, and shifter boot are all real genuine top hide
leather. By no expense spared we mean no expense spared, the owner
even saw through to having the side bolsters and back of the seats
in leather as well instead of vinyl. The interior work was done
very clean and the stitching is almost laser precise between the
titanium gray and off white seat panels. The interior amenities are
incredible with an awesome set of gauges from VHX, Vintage air,
power windows with wing window delete, pioneer audio system, and
power seats. Under the hood of this smooth cruiser is a brand new
GM crate ZZ383 Stroker engine, backed with a Tremec TKO600 5spd
with a 11" hydraulic clutch. Piping some more mechanical tunes to
you is the Hooker full length tube headers running into a 2.5"
Flowmaster equipped custom bent exhaust setup. Power transfer is
taken care of via a Ford 9" that has been treated to a powder
coating, Detroit locker true trac with 3:50 gearing. As mentioned
this Bel Air was taken down to the frame, then it was hit with
POR15 to prevent future rust. The front suspension has been
upgraded with tubular A arms that have a 1 1/2 "drop and vented
slotted discs in the front and the rear. Ididit provided the power
steering for this build and comes attached to a top notch close
ratio steering box. Tying this future show winner together is a set
of custom Cloys 5 star 17" rims with 235/42 Nanking NS-1's in the
front and 255/45 NS1'1 in the back for a seriously stanced look.
