This is one of the first cars we finished. I bought the car locally here in Los Angeles, and it was basically stock. Being the second car I ever built, I was a bit hesitant to dive into it. It ended up being one of the most usable and fun cars to drive ever. It has a Chevy 350 cubic inch ZZ4 motor with GM aluminum heads. We upgraded it to larger roller rockers, and topped it off with a 144 Weiland Supercharger and a custom built Holly carburetor by Alexi Sahagian at Boostpower USA in Newbury Park. Although the motor is mild, it has plenty of power for cruising amd will definitely get out of its own way. The motor is cooled by a custom cross flow aluminum radiator and a temp controlled electric fan. Behind the motor is a custom built 700R4 tranny, and a Chevy 10 bolt rear end. The car sits on air bags which lower it till the frame rails are flat on the ground. The frame was C notched in the rear to get the car level when aired out completely. Wheels are Billet Specialties 20 and 18 inch. The car has power disc brakes, and was converted to power steering using a 605 box.All paint and body work was done by Kosmic Kustoms. The color is a custom color with lots of pearls throughout, and then finally dusted with blue ice pearl over the top. Tim Doyon laid out the flames, and finished them off with the lime green tips for that extra touch. We used Buick taillights to give it a different feel from behind, and found California one piece bumpers. A complete American Auto Wire harness was installed.The interior boasts a loud but custom blend of tan, orange, and of course lime green to complement the flames. The interior center column and rear bucket seats were custom made, as well as the headliner that is unique because it is made all of wood and then covered to match. Electric window that were lightly smoked installed throughout. The audio system consists of 10 speakers, including 12 inch subwoofers and dual amps to power everything.
