A solid starting point helps push any project forward quicker. Luckily, owner Andy Verzura was able to snag a rust-free body in Texas to get his ’55 build off to a good start. Taking care of the build is Tyree Smith of TyTech Performance. TyTech has loads of experience in making cars go fast down the track and this Bel Air will do that as well as be able to drive cross-country.
Power will be coming from a Magnuson supercharged LSX 454 backed up by a paddle-shifted TCI 6L80E. A full TCI chassis with a Ford 9-inch will manage all the torque and handle the bumps. Big 14-/13-inch rotors and 6/4 piston calipers from Wilwood should be up to the task of bringing everything to a stop.
On the outside everything is cleaned up and fitted nicely, but no radical body mods are in store. The main portion of the body will be Aston Martin Xenon Gray while the rear quarters and roof will be metallic black. Forgeline CV3C wheels with gloss black hoops and satin black centers round out the look.
