1957 Chevy Bel Air on Air Suspension

Dan Davis (DD)

I built this Vehicle with My Dad (Sam Harper Jr) Built to enjoy.

18 Months

Been in the Sport for 15 years now. Started when I was 15 with an s-10 pick up

Not Sure what is next But I figure I will redo this one before too long.

Found this in the Local paper for Sale, It was behind a guys Barn and was a basket case, Only good steal on the car was the floor pan and the guy had started to make it into a gasser. Took it home hung all new metal on the car and took body off to do the frame and motor swap. After all the frame work was done we shot underside of the car with speedliner for heat and sound protection and then picked out paint colors and laid out a two tone paint scheme, Decided to paint the trim due to funds and the fact that I hadnt seen it done before and I always try to be a lil different. After that I decided to do something completely different and skull out the original bel air sail panels. It was risky and I really wasnt sure how it would turn out but I think It was the finishing touch on the exterior. Interior I called on my Dad to cut down a set of Ford Probe Bucket seats for the front, Make a custom steal center console to house air switches gauge and power window switches,Shave the dash and match the 2 tone paint and billet what I could. Then took it to Donelle Brown to cover the interior in a Camel colored Vinyl. After that I turned to Andy Khazad and Tim Flanders to wire the car and make it able to run.

Special Thanks to First and Most Importantly my Dad(Sam JR) Without him it wouldnt have ever gotten finished, Tim Flanders for the Wiring and running all the fuel lines, Andy Khazad for the Kick ass stereo install and also wiring up my air ride. Donelle Brown for the awesome Interior and anyone who helped me along the way.
