Details

This 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air recently underwent a 2-year frame-off build by Dennys Bowtie Restorations. It is powered by a 355ci V8 Blueprint engine with eight-stack injection that was tuned by the professionals at FiTech fuel injection. Paired with the engine is a 4L60E performance-built 4-speed automatic transmission with a Moser 12-bolt TruTrac differential. Up front is a smoothed firewall, Eddie Motorsport billet hinges, a Be Cool polished aluminum core support, performance radiator and condenser. The engine uses a American Billet front-runner belt drive system, and the engine, transmission and differential are painted in Titanium Silver. The stock frame was customized and smoothed, and crossmembers were added for support for the high-torque drivetrain. Up front, Totally Tubular front suspension was fitted with Aldan American coilovers, Wilwood drop spindles and Wilwood big brakes with 6-piston calipers, slotted and drilled rotors, and Flaming River rack & pinion power steering. The 4L60E transmission was custom-built to handle the high-torque engine and fitted with a Lokar floor shifter, 3-inch Inland Empire aluminum draft shaft, 1410 Spicer joints and a Moser 12-bolt differential with TruTrac lock up to handle high torque. It is equipped with an electric e-brake, as well as a custom mandrel-drawn thermal polished exhaust with stainless mufflers. The interior is a Red Wine-color Italian leather with Wise Guys custom seating and Dynamat Extreme insulation under German square-weave red wool carpet. It also features a Flaming River tilt steering column, custom steering wheel, smoothed dash, custom one-off console that houses switches for the New Relics power windows, an engine performance display, Alpine head unit to control a concert audio system, Dakota Digital instrument system, Fire and Ice display, digital clock, suede gray headliner with 1955 dome lights, custom one-off trunk, Gen IV Vintage Air and an American Autowire 28-circuit harness. The body had hundreds of hours of professional preparation using high-build DTM PPG primers and hours of blocking to achieve the perfect-look PPG Granite Gray over PPG Titanium Silver finish, with all original stainless professionally restored to perfection, smoothed bumpers front and rear, and all-new tinted gray glass, hood, trunk and doors equipped with Kindig door handles. The undercarriage is highly detail and painted in Titanium Silver. This Bel Air rolls on U.S. Mags 18- and 20-inch wheels with custom gray inserts wrapped in Nitto NT555 tires. This Bel Air was built by Dennys Bowtie Restorations.
