Shop Tour - Hardcore Drag Racing

    I bet you would never miss a day of school if your bus looked like this ! This was seven year custom build with  no expense spared. The body went through a frame-off restoration . For power a 355 C.I. small block Chevy is equipped with a Blower Shop 8-71 supercharger .  Mixing the go juice is a pair of  Edelbrock carburetors topped off with a MR.Gasket scoop .

The interior is filled with classic bucket seats and a hand formed center console covered in black leather.  A billet Ididit polished column & wheel keeps the wheels pointed straight, modern touches include power locks ...
