Body Work/Trim

Created by Muscle Rod Shop, San Antonio TX, specializing in wide-body muscle rods. Frame was channeled front and rear to get that lowered stance. Body was widened 2.5” each side, starting at the front doors, finishing at the tail. Wheel arches were raised 2” and flared at all four corners. Rockers were lowered and continued to rear valance. Bumpers were modified, yet retain the stock look.

The engine bay was hand-fabricated from inner fenders to smoothed firewall. Cowl was also smoothed for a clean look. One-off custom hood with 2” raise in the middle and 3 heat extractors on both sides.

Body work was smoothed out, then painted custom mix “Reflex Blue” by House of Kolors.

Engine

440 Mopar stroked to 535 C.I. with comp cam and roller rockers, Eldelbrock aluminum heads, knocking out 700 hp and 635 lb/ft of torque. Hilborn fuel injection sets off that big block Mopar. Holly distributor and MSD plug wires. Billet Specialties Truetrac serpentine system looks awesome.

Drivetrain/Suspension

Reilly MotorSports RMS AlterKtion suspension with power rack and pinion controls the front, while RMS Street Lynx handles the rear. Silver MotorSport handles the drivetrain with a Tremec TKO-600 connecting to the 8.75” Moser axles that spin a Truetrac differential. Custom 3” exhausts connect to ceramic-coated Headman headers.

Wheels

HRBB-HR99 front 18 x 8, 245 x 40 x 18 and rear 20 x 12, 335 x 30 x 20 riding on Perilli P Zeros.
