Engine/Drivetrain: A stock 2000 Chevy small-block 350-c.i.d. engine and tranny combo with a Flowmaster exhaust system was built by Felix Automotive of Fresno. The engine was hooked up with all of today's latest accessories, including an Edelbrock intake and carburetor setup and March serpentine pulley.
Body/Paint: The paint was prepped by Dave Lopez of Dave's Custom Body & Paint in Clovis, California, who was coached through spraying a perfect magenta coat of House of Kolor paint. The patterns were laid out by "Buggs" of Los Angeles, California, who laid graphics throughout the car. Once Buggs was done, the car was handed off to Gary Jensen of Las Vegas, Nevada, whose pinstriping ties in all of the patterns and designs. Steve Contreras of Fresno created the Guns 'N' Roses mural with a "graveyard scene and an old-time saloon."
Interior: The interior was done at Wall & Eades in Fresno, where they stitched in an original design with wild color inserts. The interior also features custom handles to give the panels a smooth look.
