INTRODUCTION: $393,419 build by Alvey's Bodyworxs! It was completely stripped to a bare shell, mounted on a rotisserie, and treated to a full custom chassis. Featured in Street Scene magazine, this award worthy custom was completed in 2023 and has accumulated very few miles since. In fact, it still looks like it rolled out of the builder's shop yesterday. From the stunning black exterior to the vibrant cobalt blue leather interior, the striking color combination guarantees this '55 Chevy will command attention wherever it goes.
EXTERIOR: The bodywork on this '55 is simply exceptional! The finish is so straight and smooth, it's literally like looking across a sheet of glass. The hood was smoothed by removing the center bead and emblems, the cowl panel was smoothed, the rain gutter was shaved, the door corners were radiused, and the body seams were welded and finished smooth. The door handles, emblems, fuel door and trim were all shaved for a clean, uninterrupted look, and the doors open remotely. The body was block sanded multiple times throughout the restoration before receiving six coats of clear over the black paint. It was then meticulously wet sanded and buffed until the finish became laser straight with incredible depth and reflection. It truly looks like you could dive right into it. The smoked glass was replaced, the vent windows were eliminated in favor of a cleaner one piece window. Upgraded LED headlights. The bumpers were also smoothed for a sleek custom appearance. Completing the look is a set of Schott wheels- 18 inches up front and 20 inches in back and wrapped in custom performance blue stripe tires that give the car an unmistakable finishing touch.
INTERIOR: Wow, what a stunning contrast, it really makes a statement! The vibrant cobalt blue upholstery is crafted from a premium genuine leather called Shelley Deep Ultramarine, a material more commonly found on bespoke luxury furniture than in automobiles. Sewn Tight Custom Interiors did an outstanding job with both the design and craftsmanship. The sculpted door panels flow seamlessly into the rear interior, while the contoured bucket seats and custom center console are all beautifully wrapped in the same leather. Hidden inside the console are the power window switches, electronic parking brake, push-button starter, and the electronic air ride control pad. Behind the seats is a custom enclosure housing dual Optima batteries, the electronics, and the air ride compressor and tank. While it's a functional area, it also adds to the truck's ultra custom appearance. The floor is covered in premium Mercedes style carpeting, and the Alcantara headliner matches the inserts used throughout the upholstery. Sound deadener was installed in both the floor and ceiling, making the cabin exceptionally quiet. The dash was completely smoothed and simplified, retaining only the original gauge bezel, now fitted with modern instruments. A custom lower dash extension neatly incorporates the air conditioning vents. Finishing it off is a polished tilt steering column topped with a high end Sparc Industries steering wheel wrapped in matching cobalt blue leather.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The engine bay is every bit as refined as the rest of the build, featuring a custom smooth firewall and a clean satin finish. At its heart is a GM Performance LS3 6.2-liter all aluminum crate engine producing 525 horsepower. It's dressed with custom engine covers, polished stainless exhaust manifolds, and a polished front runner serpentine drive system. The Vintage Air heat and air conditioning system is neatly installed, with the hoses routed behind the inner fenders for a clean, uncluttered appearance. It also features a polished A/C compressor, one wire alternator, modern power steering, and a Spear Tech ECM. An aluminum radiator with a polished overflow and an electric fan keeps it cool. A matching condenser is mounted in front of the radiator, and custom fabricated underhood bracing completes the
