Show Stopping 800 hp '66 Chevy Nova

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This is the 3rd custom build from Lakeside Speed & Shine that we've shot and I'm a fan! Jim and his crew build great looking vehicles that drive perfectly. I can't say that about all custom builds but when they're done right like this badass pro charged Nova it's impossible to wipe the smile off my face so sit back and enjoy the ride...

    The casino theme paintjob is something we should see in reality, cause I know for one that a camera hasn't got the ability to capture the real depth and details of those kind of paintjobs, especially when you're in the red candy spectrum. A friend of mine had a paintjob done on his C10, real fire true flames (it had the vintage hotrod flames on it before) And when he received some pictures of a first glance of it he was actually devistated, he called me up and actually asked me to come over and take a look at the pictures on his computer(this was way before smartphones) He was all in anger that his car was ruined. I told him to calm down and go see the car. Turns out it was fantastic, we even picked it up on a rainy day and later on when the sun came out, my buddy was totally baffled, because when the sun hit that real fire paintjob, it just looked as if the flames popped out. My guess is that the depth in that casino paintjob theme is probably phenomenal

    So good! Had the 66 SS with a 4 bolt 327 that I built in Mom's basement back in high school back in the mid 70's. Put every paycheck I had in it at $1.65/hour and thanks to the swap meets and helpful vets who were everywhere in Detroit's hottest stuff of the day, I had a smokin' ride. Still recall every race I had on the streets in South Mpls including the time I ran against a 62 Chevy II and a better driver with a bigger budget. He had that pearly shag carpet on the rear deck and that's bout all I got to see! He dropped by later at the A & W to give me few tips on launching and how to better set the timing! Great car! Great times and great people everywhere back then.

    This turned out amazingly well. Congrats on the build. Constructive recommendation here, and I think its a "me" thing. What about a gun metal finish (like the rims) for the bumpers, grill, around the lights, maybe the trim around the windows? I like the departure from where chrome would normally be.
