Something like 23 billion show vehicles go on display at SEMA each year, but a couple of genuinely stand out. One particular that had the entire show talking was a ’66 Chevy Chevelle built by Ringbrothers, a hot-rod parts shop in Spring Green, Wisconsin. Completed just in time for SEMA and first seen by its Ohio owner at the show, the Chevelle mixes old-college styling and a hypermodern style theme using copious amounts of carbon fiber, textured aluminum, and milled billet parts.
Built more than 5000 hours at a price of $ 70 per hour plus components, the 980-hp Chevelle makes use of both painted and naked carbon fiber for its bumpers, hood, trunklid, headliner, and dash. The interior is lined with largely painted aluminum that is hydro-dipped to produce a cool textured pattern that resembles a faint tweed stitching. The process takes any screen-printed ink pattern and floats it on water. When the metal piece is slowly dipped into the water, the ink transfers to the piece like a scale-model decal but with out the film, transferring the pattern to the metal.
Below the hood is a GM dry-sump LS7 Corvette Z06 engine running a Whipple supercharger and mated to a Tremec T56 6-speed. The seats resemble rocket couches, the wheels are 1-off HREs, the cluster is a Racepak digital show, and the whole car has a certain old-college Nissan GT-R appear but modernized for the 21st century.
