BODY - Body modifications will be very subtle. Drip rails, windshield wipers, body seams will be filled as well as the door handles will be removed. The hood will be decked and peaked in the center. Trunk lid will lose all moldings & license plate. Factory bumpers will be highly modified on both ends. Other features will include fabricated firewall, inner fenders, core support with built in cold air intake, floors, & wheel tubs.

COLOR - Paint will be of typical two tone 1955 Bel Air fashion as can be seen in the rendering. The colors have been chosen but will remain undisclosed until project nears completion. It will definitely be a stand out feature for sure. Let’s just say for now, it will emphasize the “Nickelback” theme.


INTERIOR - Interior renderings are being done at this time. Once again, like “Ricochet”, Ward Auto Interiors in Orangevale, California will be working their magic to make this a stand out feature. Colors are still on the drawing board at this time but it looks to be covered in Ultraleather & suede. An elaborate audio system will be plumbed throughout.
