DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION: Wow, this one\'s a knockout! It\'s a first class frame off build with exceptional fit, finish, materials, and attention to detail. The colors, design, and craftsmanship all come together beautifully. From top to bottom, this is a professionally built custom that makes a lasting impression.
EXTERIOR: It certainly makes an impression. In fact, I\'ve never seen this color combination before, yet it works incredibly well. The body is show quality- laser straight with excellent fit and finish throughout. The doors close with a gentle push, a true sign of quality. Finished in a stunning combination of turquoise and mocha metallic, the paint is polished to a smooth, glass like shine that draws attention from every angle. The chrome and stainless trim appear to have been restored or replaced and present beautifully. All of the glass has been replaced and features a subtle smoke tint, while the weatherstrips have been replaced as well. LED taillights add improved safety without taking away from the classic styling. Sitting proudly on 18-inch US Mag wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich g-Force tires, this \'56 has an aggressive stance and a look that stands apart from every other Tri-Five on the road.
INTERIOR: Oh my God, this interior is amazing! It\'s the part of the car that everyone falls in love with, and it\'s first class all the way. Premium genuine white leather upholstery is used throughout, accented beautifully with mocha colored inserts. The custom molded door panels, sport bucket seats, and full length center console create a luxurious, custom tailored appearance. The driver\'s seat is power, and the leather wrapped console extends to the rear seat area, giving the impression of four individual bucket seats. All of the interior metal trim is painted as slick and glossy as the exterior. Modern gauges are neatly integrated into the dash, while a touchscreen stereo is conveniently mounted in the console above the cup holders. The sound system plays through hidden speakers in the kick panels and a custom designed rear package tray. It also features power windows, color matched seat belts, matching carpet, and custom floor mats trimmed with white piping. Comfort is enhanced by a Vintage Air system, cleverly integrated using controls that resemble the original equipment and housed in a custom panel beneath the dash. The color matched leather wrapped steering wheel is mounted on a polished tilt column, and overhead you\'ll find a fully custom upholstered headliner with an LED dome light. The craftsmanship is exceptional throughout, and the moment you open the door, the rich aroma of genuine leather lets you know this interior is something special.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It starts with a Gen III all aluminum 5.3-liter LS engine that\'s been upgraded with a Trick Flow cam and topped with a Magnuson supercharger, delivering an estimated 525 horsepower. A set of coated headers helps maximize performance, while custom color matched engine covers featuring Chevrolet emblems give it a clean, finished appearance. The front of the engine is equipped with a modern serpentine belt system that drives the air conditioning, alternator, and power steering. Cooling is handled by a complete PRC system, including a large aluminum radiator, matching core support, condenser, and intercooler. Dual electric fans pull plenty of air through the system to keep temperatures in check. The engine compartment itself is beautifully detailed, with slick paintwork throughout, billet hood hinges, and a Wilwood master cylinder. It\'s a show quality engine bay with the power and reliability to back up its appearance.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is just as impressive as the interior. In fact, it\'s fully finished to match the custom cabin. The underside of the deck lid has been upholstered, and the trunk itself has been boxed and trimmed with the same attention to detail found inside the car. Matching mocha carpet gives it a rich, finished appearance, while the battery has been neatly relocated behind a custom panel to keep everything clean and uncluttered.
UNDERSIDE: The body was removed from the frame during the restoration. The underbody is clean, rust free metal coated in a color matched chip guard, while the chassis is detailed in black for a crisp, professional appearance. The suspension has been extensively upgraded for modern handling and ride quality. Up front are tubular control arms, adjustable coilover gas shocks, 2 inch drop spindles, and upgraded rack-and-pinion steering. In the rear, a four link suspension with tubular control arms and adjustable coilovers keeps the car planted. The braking system has been upgraded with Wilwood drilled and slotted disc brakes at all four corners. A custom stainless exhaust system features a c
