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.

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.
