Sinister LS Powered Chevy Custom
Every time I see this car at an event it catches my eye. Multiple variations of black paint, clean interior, LS powered badass. This is such an exceptional tri 5 and I'm not typically into tri 5's but how can't you love this car?
Sit back and enjoy the ride...

Hello Shawn. Big thanks for bringing this car to the tube for our viewing. I always stop to check out the custom work that people like Matt do. It's my hobby. I love custom work whether its Ford, Chryslers or GMs. Matt your work is above and beyond. This build is 56, unique and sexy. Much respect to you Matt. Thank you.

Shawn, much like what some of the other commenters said, it's was really hard to notice that it's actually a 4 door. After seeing this wild paint job, it really lends itself to other new ideas. Something that popped into my head was wondering how the car would look if unpainted black carbon fiber (and cleared) was substituted for the shiny black paint? Or, if the black carbon fiber was placed in the flat black paint areas only? Another scheme idea would be to use black ghost flame styles (or other colors of choice, perhaps blue) on a fully painted flat black body. Later!

The 56 Bel Air offers the best chrome trim break for a 2 tone paint job. I had a red and white 56 nomad and even that trim was perfect for a 2 tone paint and those two colors made that car pop. This was a great call with the flat and shinny.. its definitely a one of a kind.
