1957 Chevrolet Bel Air

This is Ricochet! A SEMA show car in 2003! On the cover of the Jegs catalog and a build feature story in the January 2004 edition of Super Rod magazine. It is a total from the ground-up fully custom built 1957 Bel-Air Resto-mod! This was a 6 year project built by Brent DuPont in California. It is an absolutely gorgeous car and has been in our museum for over 15 years. Everyone who has seen it just loves it! Some of the high points of the build are a custom Jim Meyers Racing chassis featuring tubular control arms, rack and pinion steering, parallel 4-Link rear suspension, QA1 adjustable coil-overs, Ford 9 rear end with a Strange aluminum center section. It has 13 front and 12 rear Baer cross drilled power disc brakes. It is powered by a 461CI Big Block Chevrolet engine with a hydraulic roller cam and an ASM fuel injection system. It has a professionally built Turbo 400 automatic transmission with an 11 2400 Converter. It runs on 17 Boyd Coddington aluminum wheels and Goodyear tires. It has a totally custom leather interior with a custom dash and gauges. It has a custom 1200 watt sound system featuring Sony, Phoenix Gold and Diamond Audio components. It is a one of a kind example and is a real show stopper wherever it goes!!!!
