1952 Chevy Pickup - Fantasy '52 Came True

Rex Snider created the stainless steel flames recessed in the door panels.

Airbags, a custom suspension system front and rear, and extensive custom fabrication of the framerails enabled Fantasy '52 to imbue a most righteous Pro Street stance. If you think you and your hot rod hauler have the horsepower to go up against Mel's '52 Fantasy, you might be pushing up the daisies. LED taillights, also from RB's Obsolete, keep motorists from following too close.

Look closely at the purple paintwork and you'll be thinking, "I see dead people." See the skulls?

Billet Accessories 3D wheels, 15x5 inches in size, were shod with Komo radials in the front.

An Auto Loc linear actuator raises and lowers the Checkmate tonneau, not the Mike Stafford and Larry Williams painted scary skull dude on the underside.

Russ Engman and the owner fabricated the rear clip of the custom chassis from 3x4x3/16-inch rectangular steel tubing. A stainless steel, 10-gallon Triangle fuel cell supplies the thirsty Pro Street pickup with fuel, which doesn't last long.

Rebuilt original instruments fill the stock openings in the steel dash. In keeping with the ghoulish theme of the hauler, a B.A.D. Hellfire steering wheel is attached to a Billet Accessories steering column. To top the '69 Borg Warner manual trans, a Hurst four-speed shifter was wisely selected.

The Billet Accessories 3D wheels in the rear, 15x14 inches wide, have Hoosier Pro Street meats, in the 31x16.5-inch size.

RB's Obsolete Automotive Crystal Eyes headlights brighten the path ahead.
