July Karl Kustoms Update: It’s A Chevy Carnival
This July was all Chevy all the time. There were plenty of fun projects keep every GM fan happy here at Karl Kustoms.
July was filled with many adventures, but our highlights were all Chevy-centric. From a depression-era Chevy street rod to the just-released C8 Corvette, July had a lot to offer.
1932 Chevy – Street Rod Of The Year Finalist
Imagine cruising down Ventura Boulevard in a ride that would make American Grafitti‘s John Milner envious. This ’32 Chevy is just the ride. We love getting to showcase special rides such as these.
And boss man Carl Moyer‘s very own two-door Chevy sedan made the list of finalists for Classic Instruments/Good Guys Street Rod of the Year award.
On The Road With The C8 Corvette
The C8 is quite the looker. But even more impressive than its stunning physique is its gnarly performance on the open road. Chevy knew that taking the Corvette to the next level meant doing something radical. Turns out, the mid-engine design fulfills that purpose
2017 Chevy SS Carbon Fiber Mods
Carbon fiber is known to be a great way to trim the pounds for the sake of added performance. Lesser known, however, is the monster potential lying within the 2017 Chevy SS.
In July, we helped one of our customers unlock more of that potential with a carbon fiber hood, trunk, and spoiler.
GM LS427 Crate Engine
This July the GM LS427 crate engine arrived. With 7.0 L of displacement, 570 hp, and 540 lb-ft of torque, this monster is ready for whatever is thrown its way.
An all-new wet-sump oil system makes installation much friendlier and less-complicated. The LS427 also boasts fifth-gen Camaro Z/28 exhaust manifolds and a 168-tooth Z/28 manual transmission flywheel.
1979 Corvette
While the C8 is the performance pinnacle of the Corvette nameplate, it’s hard to beat the enjoyment of owning the classics.
We had the pleasure of helping another customer draw nearer to their performance goals with a fresh set of wheels and tires on their 1979 C3 Corvette. To top it off, we also installed a Holley Sniper EFI system for even more precision.
