We’ve featured several Ironworks Speed and Kustom built cars here at BANGshift over the last couple of years, and with good reason. Roger and the crew at Ironworks Speed and Kustom have been building cars in Bakersfield California for decades, and we’ve seen all kinds of rides roll out of this place over the years. Street rods, hot rods, muscle cars, classics, and even some VWs. They’ve done their fair share of trucks as well, with almost everything done in house.
Roger is pretty particular on their builds, putting Ironworks’ stamp on everything they touch, so that the owners of these rides end up with something that is unique and truly custom. It’s not cheap to have a car built nowadays, and especially at this level.
A 1966 Chevelle is my favorite mid-size Chevelle, and this one is certainly something special. With a Magnuson Supercharged LT4 under the hood, and a Tremec Magnum 6-Speed backing it up, you know this thing will be fun to drive. And there are tons of custom touches on this car, whether it is the sheet metal inside, outside, or underneath. Plus a ton of work on chrome and bright work to make it look custom, but with a nod toward maybe being what GM might have done if they weren’t building a production car. It’s cool as hell.
