Details

Recently completed show-winning, Pro-Touring piece of art. It has custom touches and quality parts throughout with attention to detail. Built by Ronnie's Hot Rods in Senatobia, MS. The body was acid-dipped and finished in stunning PPG Starfire Blue over a Paul Atkins black leather interior. A new supercharged 6.2-liter LSA was built in-house producing 850hp and 840 ft/lbs (712hp/707 ft/lbs to the wheels on 91 octane). The engine build includes a Kong ported supercharger and snout, Nick William's 103mm throttle body, DMS cam, ID1050 injectors, Wegner accessories and pulleys, BTR lifters/springs/pushrods/trunnion and Wegner valve covers. Exhaust gases exit through hand-built 17/8-inch headers feeding into dual 3-inch X-pipe using SW tubing and cutouts. Gear shifting is handled by a 6-speed close-ratio T56 Magnum manual transmission with a twin-disc McLeod RST clutch. QA1 carbon-fiber driveshaft spins the narrowed Currie 9-inch rear housing 3.70 gears and Truetrac differential. Stopping chores are handled by the Kore3 C6 Z06 brakes front and rear with a Wilwood master and Hydra-Boost with proportioning valve and an E-Stopp e-brake system. Ride quality is handled through a fully adjustable RideTech coil system suspension with front and rear sway bars. A Flaming River tilt column and LEE 800 close-ratio box provide steering. All this rides on 19x9-inch front and 20x12-inch back Boze Camber wheels wrapped in 255/325 Cup2s respectively. Additional features include shaved drip rails, smoothed cowl, smoothed, tucked and modified bumpers, smoothed fender flares, reworked a-pillar/beltline transition, one-off hood, and hand-built inner fenders, firewall and rear tubs. The complete custom Paul Atkins interior features front seats that are modified RECARO Specialists and received upgraded leather, while the rear seats were built by Atkins to match the RECAROs. Inside you'll find a suede one-piece headliner and Mercedes-Benz carpet. The dash is a custom piece by Ronnie Geeslin and houses a Dakota Digital HDX cluster, Vintage Air climate control with black billet controls and a Kenwood Bluetooth stereo. Other features include XPEL PPF Clayton Machine pedals, shifter and handles, a 10-inch JL Audio sub, front and rear Morris 3-point retractable seat belts, NuRelic power windows with all-new glass, an integrated 8-point cage with A-pillar tie-in and a removable harness bar, Rick's stainless tank, Dapper LED headlights, Dakota LED taillights, Griffin Radiator, custom HXR and SPAL fans. The frame and every suspension component have been painted a dark metallic gray. The engine bay and bottom of the car are painted to match the exterior but covered in a matte clear. In just a few shows it has become a Daryl Starbird Fine9 qualifier, Best Street Machine, Goodguys 2021 Chevy Muscle pick, Super Chevy - Best Chevelle, Best in Class and Most Outstanding Craftsmanship. Also recipient of multiple Best Interior and Best Engine/Motor awards.
