BODYWORK/TRIM

The product of high quality restoration that was conducted by two body shops, his slick wagon features a lust worthy appearance that's ready to burn down the Manufacturers' Midway! The build began when Steve's Auto Restorations of Portland, regon replaced the car's factory lead and sealed everything in a thick coat of protective primer. With a solid foundation laid, teve Cooley Motors of Homosassa, lorida followed subtle modification with a custom combination of Corvette LeMans Blue and Cadillac Sand Effect DuPont Chroma Premier 2-stage. And today, ountless hours and over six-figures later, his Chevy rolls as a lights-out show car that's been deservedly fawned over by some of the biggest names in the business.

As a classic car owner, ou really can't go wrong with any '50s Chevy. But for many people, he division's '57 model essentially perfected the art. Take a look at this gorgeous wagon and you'll see no less than 22 one-of-a-kind details that walk a fine aesthetic line between the timeless look of factory fodder and the radical, ometimes cheeky appearance of fiberglass recreations. At the front of the car, recessed grille bar floats between modern headlamps, filled bumper and a shaved and flattened hood. At the back of that hood, tainless-framed glass rides between modified drip rails, haved vent windows, olished mirrors and Chevy 150 door trim. Beneath that trim, haved doors perfectly align Chevy 150 side spears with shaved fenders and smooth-leaded quarters that are capped with Chevy 210 2-door wagon stainless. And at the back of the car, shaved tailgate hangs between filled pan seams, lush-fit taillights and a bright chrome bumper.

ENGINE

As young car guys, ost of us are taught that talking the talk means we'd better walk the walk. And when it comes to talking the talk, his sedan's inability to shut up can be directly attributed to the walking ability afforded by its 502 cubic inch GM Performance Parts big block. Twisting stout 9.75 to 1 compression into roughly 550 horsepower, he car's show-detailed mill is a logical testament to the old rule: more cubic inches equals more horsepower. A perfect air/fuel mixture is supplied by a K&N-toothed Billet Specialties air cleaner and 780cfm Quick Fuel carburetion. That dynamic duo rides on a ported and coated Edelbrock RPM Air Gap intake, hich is bolted between ported and coated Chevrolet heads. Those heads hang polished and color-keyed valve covers over Crower roller rockers, ustom Comp pushrods and high quality Crane lifters. Those lifters are tapped by a Crane cam, hich is sequenced to loomed Taylor plug wires and an MSD Pro-Billet distributor. Spent gases roar through large exhaust pipes via custom William's headers. At the front of those headers, familiar Vintage Air FrontRunner system spins a polished Stewart water pump between a Tuff Stuff alternator, Sanden AC compressor and a Detroit Speed power steering pump. And that water pump feeds a beefy Griffin radiator that's wedged between Flex-a-lite puller fans and a Be Cool condenser. Visually, he Energy-mounted block rides in a smoothed and massaged engine bay that displays OEM-level attentiveness to both engineering and assembly. And details like Billet Specialties breathers, illet Specialties hose clamps, Billet Specialties water neck, RP bolts, el-Pro gaskets and a Moroso dipstick create a clean and purposeful aesthetic.

DRIVETRAIN

Take a look under this tire-shredding courier and you'll find a custom, uxo-Blue chassis that's ready for the strip or the turntable. Behind the big engine, GM 700R4 4-speed spins between a high performance ProTorque torque converter and Coleman aluminum driveshaft. That driveshaft twists a proven Dutchman 9-inch that rocks an Auburn posi-traction differential around 3.55 gears and 31-spline axles. Those gears push the car on a trick Ridetech 4-link that's fitted with adjustable Ridetech air shocks. Opposite that 4-link, Kimbridge Enterprises sub-frame makes good use of Belltech drop spindles, lobal West control arms, Flaming River quick-ratio steering box and two more adjustable Ridetech air shocks. At the corners of that modern suspension, ydroboosted Baer calipers bridge the gap between an SSBC master cylinder, nd drilled and slotted rotors. Charred dinosaurs float from the aforementioned headers to 2.5-inch, andrel-bent pipes that employ an X-shaped crossover and polished Magnaflow mufflers. And power meets the pavement through attractive Budnik Cannons, hich spin 245/40ZR18 Falken FK452s in front of 255/40ZR19 Falken FK452s.

INTERIOR

Pop the shaved doors and you'll find a substantially tweaked interior that was installed by Great 8 guru Dale Van Curen's Unlimited Designs. Front and center, 67 GTO buckets wrap bright stainless trim around creamy Doe hides. In front of those seats, chrome-lined dash hangs a rebuilt clock, intage Air climate control and a Custom Autosound head unit beside traditional Classic Instruments gauges. At the edges of that dash, ustom side panels anchor billet door handles between modern power windows, eMans Blue frames and tasteful stainless trim. At the bottom of those panels, ustom Doe carpet balances a custom, hip Foose-autographed console between billet foot pedals and Dynamat sound insulation. In front of the driver, custom Quality Restorations steering wheel spins a stylish "One Fifty" script around a color-keyed, ilting column. And behind the passengers, custom-upholstered storage area features almost enough room for one season's plunder of trophies.
