New Project - 57 Chevy z06 / 4l80e

[syborg tt]

It looks like my dad got the bug. We bought a 57 Chevy last weekend and he plans to have it finished by Good Guys Columbus 07 or at least that is the current goal.

here are the specs:
Jim Meyer Complete Chassis w/ Wilwood brakes
Street & Performance Fuel injected ls6 Zo6 405 hp
Street & Performance ac, alt, ps and water pump
Street & Perfromance Chrome plated brackets and acc serpentine set up.
4l60e Automatic Transmission
Strange 9" Third member, 3.70 posi
Vintage air poilshed ac condensor
Polished cross flow radiator
Rock Valley Stainless Fuel Tank in intank pump
Billet Specialties Chicanes 18" front and 20" rear
Nitto 235/40/zr18 front and Nitto 305/40/20 rear
All the original chrome was re-plated at sherms in California.

Pinkees Rod Shop in Windsor Colorado hand fabricated the center console, inner fender panels, firewall, mounted master under the dash, installed the Ididit tilt column, Lokar shifter and brake lines. They also repaired any rust and replaced with new metal.

Underneath the car is lined with Superliner.

I almost bought that thing off ebay. If I was not trying to finish my truck, I was gonna partner up to finish it. That 57 had everything it seemed like and was done very well.

Good luck with the project. Should be a nice ride.

That car has been in the making for awhile. I met the guy who was building it at SEMA 2003 when I had mine there. He asked if I would be interested in it. I almost bought it as well, but didn't want to build another 57 at the time. He obviuosly ended up keeping it and had Pinkee's do some work on it. Not sure why he decided to sell again. Nice to know it will be finshed off the way it should be. Keep us posted as progress continues.

I love the direction the car is headed in. I am also interested in the color he wants. The engine compartment is absolutely perfect! Any drive train pics?
