61 Bel Air gone crazy

[gpw hatch]

Over the past couple years I posted up a couple progress pics of the this build but now the car is all finished so I figured I would share. Its been a 3 years progress and within the past year and a half things went a little overboard on the car.

It started as just a car getting built so me and my dad could just have fun in it and not worry about beating on it because he already had this car to pamper

But the Bel Air turned into a car that shows off the skills of the builder Bryan Fuller. It is completely different than any muscle car out there, its styling is more along the lines of older hot rods than what you would normally see in a muscle car. Along the way sponsors were picked up to put everything into the car such as ARP (literally every bolt and fastener in the car is ARP) and Kicker Audio and many more.

So some pics of its progress

i like the finished project and day one lol good work man very clean

Only thing I don't like is that it's not painted. Other than that, it gets a 100% approval rating me...........as if I'm somebody, lolol.

What is the thing in the front bumper? Later, QD.

[gpw hatch]

Its painted. PPG hot rod black on the bottom and the color of the wheels (kind of a bronze) on the top of the car. also has gloss black pinstriping thats very subtle and can only see in person,

The tank on front bumper is supposed to be like the gas tanks on old 60's Gasser drag cars. just a little design element thrown in there that doesn't really have a purpose. might be turned into a coolant overflow tank.

Now that it's been mentioned, I can see the top being different color. I thought it was just light reflection. I'm just not a fan of the matte look. I like actual color, you see. But I don't dislike the ride, though. It still looks great, man. No love lost at all.

I gotcha. I remember when you first posted it up and kept wondering what it was but never asked. Later, QD.

It won the super chevy (best chevy), best in class and the top 10 award. That riddler car there is just not fair to compete against.

Its now on its way to Los Angles for the Grand National Roadster show. It will be a little out of its element there but will be cool to see the reactions of all the top builders that attend this show.
