Lakeside Speed & Shine builds some of the finest custom cars I've ever seen and this 1966 Chevy Nova SS is a perfect example of their work. Under the hood is a supercharged built LS1 making 550 hp all set onto TCI suspension components. The interior was done by Elegance Auto Interiors and is one of the finest interiors I've ever seen. This car is simple which means far from simple in all respects so sit back and enjoy the ride...

Clean is an over used description of a car at shows. This car is the definition of a Clean build. The body work is simple precision. As far as adding or subtracting power, that’s the easy part.

Back in 1992 I bought a 1/25 scale AMT model of a '67 Nova SS along with some aftermarket big wheels and rubber to create Pro Touring look seen on this car. I was way ahead of the concept by +30 years, I just did on a budget.

@showbo378 Жыл бұрын

I think the key subjects are attention to detail and practically. I love when professionals tell people how absurd it is to have excessive HP on daily drivers. Anything over 600 just isn't reasonable for daily. Enjoying the ride is more important than being able to show off. I'll take a build like this any day of the week

Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL car, and that interior is gorgeous! I freakin' love it!!! Shawn, I totally agree with you when it comes to horsepower. I often say, "What's the point in building a car with so much power if you're not racing it?" For the very few that actually do race their cars that have a bunch of power, their #1 excuse when they lose is, "I can't get it to hook." 🤣 🤣 🤣

I got my Journeyman's in Upholster decades ago, have done diamond pleats, tufts, etc, but these guys are on a whole other level. The metal fabrication and sharpening of lines is ridiculously meticulous!

@anhiirr Жыл бұрын

its pretty smart to use a body like that as a base with a lot of fresh metal to work with vs trying to do that DIY with body/bondo on a car etc. This level of work is definitely worth it for the $ any day. Just so much more clean metal than filler On top of meticulous body work/gap care. Even the undercarriage shot was too clean. A proper presentation of "factory modern" for sure one of my favorites as a Chevy II/Nova fan

I have an "07 Trailblazer in white with the upgraded LH6/350 HP all aluminum engine from the factory, LT, leather interior, custom sound system, custom 3' exhaust, factory aluminum 18" wheels with a couple of deletes like the luggage rack and the rear bowtie. I constantly get asked if it's an SS, but everyone is always impressed with the way it sounds. If I could do to it what these guys have done here with this amazing Nova, it would be incredible. But just having 350 HP in this SUV is super fun. People that feel like you have to have outrageous power either have too much money or they don't really want to daily drive it. 450 HP at the wheels of this gem is prolly enough to please any gear head on the daily. Great car and sweet review, Dude...

Hi Shawn, wiring and plumbing ocd is what all builds should be centered around. 550 at the tires with the proper highway gears can give you great gas mileage and a little bit to show off. I’m a derby cap and trim ring with rally wheels because it keeps it more original but it doesn’t make the rotors look tiny. It’s still a great car just my neurosis gets in my way!!
