The goal of this project was to create a car that blends timeless classic style with modern comfort, designed to be driven anywhere. We began with an Art Morrison chassis, then channeled the body to achieve a sleek, low stance. For power, we equipped it with an LS3 engine featuring a BTR Stage 2 camshaft, all dressed to resemble the look of a vintage Nailhead engine. This is paired with a 4L70E transmission and a Strange 9-inch rear end, featuring a 3.89 gear ratio and an Eaton Truetrac differential. The result is a perfect combination of classic aesthetics and modern performance, built for both style and drivability.
