DODGE SUPER BEE 1969

 Another spring day..another "bee" this one survivor in bad condition for the weathered age. Frank has hard work for replacing this car at the original condition for some stuff added...Frank way!



 after a complete sanding frame he have paint the car in a "rally green" very bright! but this is no sufficient for Frank..so he think...why don't added a white vinil roof ? for give a very sportful appearance? so it's done!





on the sides he have added a typical R/T version air scoop... Cragar whees dark grey/chromed very raging



 the hood in fiberglass very light (for best performance) on the roof...


 the threatening aspect of the "snout"-grille



under the hood the 440 "six pack" with 400 horsepower by Frank...guaranted!

the upgrade it was very industrious...but the results it's under your look.



 another Frank touch...the double exaust very bigger! he love the smooth sound of the V8...he-he-he!

 the interior completely replaced in withe...bench seat for driving this super car!

what else say?...with the previous bee (1970) he have done a complete tour view in  "spring time" for very performance cars!

DODGE SUPER BEE 1970

The summer beginning! and Frank at this time have prepared a superlative "super-stock" Dodge super bee 1970!

 painted "banana yellow" with "C" black stripes, stock rims also yellow with a simply hubcap

 absolutely sportful without frills! !in this pic,it's possible see the new grille released for the 70thies called "bumble bee wings" not so popular when released but a must today

 under the hood a 440 six pack with 390 hp....untouched..in this case perfect so

 the rear view,simply with characteristic red line frame...and the dual exaust...with a lovely noise

Frank show his new creature at the annual contest near his home...and what better opportunity to do so? a couple of beers, music and sun and fun is guaranteed ... and why not? also some nice chick!!!

SHELBY COBRA 427 -1965

Frank does not mind spending this time and prepares us for a car without equal ... a unique real Shelby/AC Cobra 427 ...

 The car dated 1965 has been completely disassembled sand blasted and checked in detail. Repainted silver with black stripes, sporty and fierce ...


 Here a back view

 Frank has spared nothing ... the 427 that is under the hood with what looks like a thunder tube 2 in 1 (designed by Frank) ... that is the mouth of a cannon!

 The black leather interior, with new "Bucket seats ... and a fire extinguisher in the center tunnel .. safety in this case is never underestimated.

 The central cannon mouth....and gives a 'somewhat unusual and uncommon effect.

 The 'upgrade' continues with 4 disc brakes and 4 rims 21 "tires with super-low, the mirror tint on the body ... replacing the two rear lights with a typical" in a single lens. "

 Roll bar reinforced and prepared by Frank in matt black.

A car clean design but at the same time "full of evil" for anyone who wants to challenge you!
