Description
Dream Street and M&D customs performed the 4" chop, laid back the A-pillars and laid forward the C-pillars. The drip rails were pinched in and welded smooth, door handles and cowl vents were shaved, as well as antenna and side moldings. One piece side glass was installed along with a 2" Goodmark steel cowl hood held up with EMS billet hinges. Eric Collins of Final Finish Auto Body in Reno, NV applied the House of Kolors Kandy Lime Gold and custom black paint. They also laid down the crinkle finish graphics that run along the rear of the car. The final touch was the addition of blacked out 7" headlights. The smooth treatment continues inside as the entire dash was smoothed of all holes, vents and glove box lid. Autometer carbon fiber gauges were added in a Covens gauge insert. A handmade aluminum center console was fabbed up in addition to a black one-piece aluminum headliner to replace the stock cloth one. Andies Custom Upholstery of Reno installed the modern power bucket seats adorned in black leather with Ostrich inserts. An Ididit steering column with a Billet Specialties Rat Tail steering wheel was added next. A B&M Megashifter protrudes from the custom center console and a Ron Francis wiring system ties it all together. The frame was enhanced with a TCI front clip with 2" dropped spindles, chrome TCI shocks with Goodyear air bags, as well as a TCI 4-link back end, sub frame connectors and anti-sway bars. Air Ride Technologies Shockwaves are used to raise and lower the Ford 9" rear end which has been shortened 4" and equipped with a posi-traction unit with 3.70 Richmond gears. Rounding out the suspension are Boze Shifter wheels, 18"x7" front and 20"x8.5" rear. The tires are Nitto 555's. The firewall was smoothed to make room for a 454cid big block Chevy. Auto Marine Machine in Carson City, NV bored it out to 468cid and fitted it with Keith Black pistons. An Edelbrock Performer intake manifold with Edelbrock 800cfm carburetor was bolted on along with a Pete Jackson gear drive, Billet Specialties pulley system, tall valve covers and air cleaner, Mallory Uni-Lite ignition, Sanderson headers and Spintech Super Pro street mufflers. The engine produces a dyno-proven 425hp and 500 ft/lb of torque. TH400 transmission with Hughes 3,000 stall converter and B&M trans cooler.
