1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2 Door Hardtop Show Rod

Upon completion, classics of this quality bring instant attention, admiration and media print! It takes a deep desire, sense of style, creative imagination, determination, patience and deep friggin pockets to create a Jewel such as this! Off track for a moment & for a little fun, the spectacular color of this Babe prompted me to seek a dream definition of Sunset and Pearl! After all this car is a dream come true! Sunset: To see the sunset in your dream, indicates the end of a cycle or condition. It is a period of rest, renewal, and evaluation. Pearl: pearls in dreams usually have to do with moments of personal discovery. Most people who dream of pearls understand where they come from and view the pearl as a treasure to be discovered! Funny how much the shoe actually fits this wonderful creation! Grab the article on the news stand, read it and you will see! Built to Drive, the final result is KICK ASS!! "The Way It's 'Posed To Be!"

Prior to it's current beauty, this same car was already a Trophy Winning Hot Rod but the owner wanted to make it the ultimate! The journey was started! In the spring of 2003, it was stripped naked for a complete nut & bolt frame-off rotisserie restoration. The entire body and frame was sent out for media blasting! The frame, A Arms and several brackets were completely powder coated with a Silver Vein 2-step process! Selectively, every single component was inspected while deciding whether to rebuild, retain, replace, polish, chrome and/or paint body color! The rolling stock is completed with many great features: Power Steering, Fat Man 2" inch Dropped Spindles, adjustable OA1 Shocks w/front Coil-Overs & GM 11" Inch Power Disc Brakes! Rubber meets the road with customized Intro "Twin Vistas" Wheels, 18"s front, 20"s Rear that were wrapped in huge Falken FK451 Speed Rated Radial Rubber! The power placed between the legs is a GM crate 350 ZZ4 dressed to the max and hooked to a late model 700R4 Automatic Over-Drive Trans! Air Conditioning equipped, it's kept kool with a Mattson 4 Row polished aluminum Radiator! Every fluid line or wire is either braided or wrapped in it! Needless to say the rolling chassis was complete!

The disassembled media blasted body was mounted on a rotisserie and sent to DJ Juarez of Chandler, Arizona for whistle straight massaging, fitment and color! Once complete the entire body from TOP to BOTTOM was treated to a lickable finish of House of Color "SUNSET PEARL"! Bugs of Bugs Art tastefully pinstriped subtle flames to capture the true essence of Hot Rodding! Every stitch of stainless and/or chrome was re-plated or polished to perfection prior to assembly! Once assembled, everything was rewired including the installation of spendy TRI-BAR Super White Headlights and Digital Tail-Lights! SLICK, SEXY and SPECTACULAR!! 

Hop inside to an incredibly creative and supple combination of Body Color, Contrasting Ultra Leather, Billet and Chrome! All panels and seating are a custom combination of stitched flames that flow as if they were in motion! The pin striper Bugs worked closely with Bobby's Upholstery of Mesa, Arizona for the ultimate matching effect! The threads were stretched over a new Glide Engineering front seat and hand made door panels! The final cosmetic touch is a custom Intro 'Twin Vistas" Billet Steering wheel that matches the exterior wheels! Other nice creature comforts include Air Conditioning, Power Windows, Dakota Digital Dash and In Dash AM/FM sound system w/Trunk mounted 6 disc CD Changer & Amp! Ta Da! SATISFACTION with a job well done!!
