From the guys at eGarage comes this awesome video feature on the “Dead End” 1953 Chevy 2-door. This Chevy belongs to Eddie Padilla from Campos Custom Fab, and the car has become something of a project car for the crew at Dead End Magazine. The car’s story starts when Campos finally managed to pick up the car from a family member who had the car sitting out in the elements wasting away, after a whole lot of asking.
“We were just going to build something normal,” says Padilla in the video. “But it just became one of those things where we said‘normal ain’t cool.” The result is exactly what Padilla and his friends were aiming for, and definitely not “normal” by any stretch of the term. The Chevy’s uber-slammed stance is thanks to Accuair’s innovative E-Level air management system that can adjust the ride height of the airbags with the touch of a button. The “un-normal” theme continues under the hood, where an unexpected powerplant resides – a carbureted LS engine.
Check out the LS powerplant and cool remote brake system under the hood of this Chevy.
