Rad Rides 56 Chrysler/Viper Pics inside Incredible!!
 

This is the current big $$$$ project at rad rides. They have to finish this by the middle of feb for the world of wheels in Wisconsin. I spent some time at the shop talking to Troy about this car and he so elegantly put it this way.

"With the nova, you know you're screwed. That thing just looks mean and the noise it makes gives its attitude away. The deal with the '56 Chrysler is that it tucks you into bed and then tea-bags your ass!"

Seriously this car is incredible. They chopped up a late model dodge viper that had been in a wreck and used all of its suspension and some of the rear end drive train. Then they found a 56 Chrysler 300 and grafted it to the viper stuff. Pretty much everything else on the car is one off.

Running a nextel cup motor with twin turbos in the fenders. Best part is that its being built for this sweet lady named Nancy!
Enjoy!

Started the same week as our nova.

very cool car. By the way. Troy is awesome, super nice down to earth guy.:thumbsup:

Jody

thats insane...:hail:

That is B***$$!

I have to admit I like the frame without paint, much better.

But the whole car is very very cool.
I wish the car was going to be ready for the Detroit show.




Mick

There are a lot of pics of this project on their site. Absolutely awesome workmanship!! :bow: :bow:

:willy: :willy: :willy:
wha, umm, who, how, $$$$$$$, gooo, likey, likey.

Why so many "old" finished cars there? Dont the owners want to keep those in their garages?

Wow. Looks like another stunning creation.


Definitely. :cheers:

WOW!!!! That frame and pulley setup is just SICK:hail: Just unbelievable!!!!

Josh

Thanks for sharing, Derek! Nice to have a man on the inside!

What ever happened to The Sniper ? That car gives me a woody woodpecker:yes:

always amazing, i hope when i grow up..............

That car is going to be over the top. The frame is truly a work of art. I read that it is going to get a set of one off custom Dayton wire wheels.

cool build
 

well
troy looks like he is eating well ...:lol:
thanks for posting the pics....wonder how they are protecting the paint from the turbo/header heat?...looks close to the fender
cant wait to see it together...keep posting pics

tom

sick ride for sure!:thumbsup:

Troy got couple of six packs:rofl:

Troy told me about a week ago that the "Sniper" is at the Petersen Museum

there are a few hundred pics over at

Holy ###***:thumbsup:

Love the color combo, this is my favorite car of all time period!!!!!! :thumbsup:

MAN WHAT CAN YOU SAY!!!!:hail:

Yes, i believe that dayton and billet spec worked together on them.

I said the same thing when we visited a couple weeks ago. The hurricane (grey biscayne) is getting a power adder or adders of some sort. :unibrow:

funny origanally this car was going to be the new Chicayne. But now it looks like it may go down that road after all.

whos here

Check out martys link below...he does have a ton of picts from the shop and of the cars.

When do you guys get to take notorious home? Or are you guys making some changes to the car?

Rodger

Are there any pics of these wheels available?

The car is crazy... Must of been a pretty penny..

Wow, I thought this car was amazing until I got to the pic with the belt drive, that is the sickest thing I've ever seen...period, end, done.

Awesome... Like Blake said... maybe when I grow up....

all i got so far

No changes...just waiting for summer.

Most of you may not realize how hard this crew of guys work.

Here is the car on Dec 27 and no they haven't even started working on the frame yet.

ps - most of the guys had only taken Christmas Day off for the entire month of January and they probably still haven't taken a day off since. Did i mention most of the time they were doing 16 to 20 hour days.

These are some of the hardest working car guy's you will ever meet.

I am totally blown away how Troy continually tops himself everytime. The color combo is sick!

OMG ahhh OMG What was that i just saw OMG
:hail:

Great shots over the top cars.

My guess is that if it is ready for the Milwaukee show in mid February, it will still be ready for Detroit in March.

Owner lives here in Milwaukee area so that is the push for Milwaukee World of Wheels. This is for the wife of the guy who owns the gray 32 that Troy built five or six years ago.

Thats right, i was on the petersen museum in november the sunday before SEMA and there it was.
The owner (that has appeared on Rides with the sniper) died and the sniper and one more car of his was donated to the Petersen Museum.

I think he means that it a shame that such an over the top car is not held back for Detroit were it would have a chance to go for the Ridler or even a Great 8 award.
Depending on what showed up, a car like this could take the Ridler.

I love this thing!
