Shelby

Super Snake

Blower car

 

This customer came to us with an idea for an aluminum bodied big block car.

He wanted it built from scratch to his specifications.

This is where it gets good……. he had done his homework and asked if we could recreate the Supersnake! I said “you mean a blower car, the twin supercharged one?” He nods with a devilish grin.

“So do you want Carroll’s or Bill Cosby’s?”

OK this is what we love, a ridiculously detailed recreation of a car that speaks to them, they fall asleep thinking about, they have the image burned into their head of what their ultimate car from history looks like.

What you’re looking at here is our ultimate build starting with pieces of tube and flat plates and sheets. It has turned into an exact replica of Carroll Shelby’s grudge race car to give his lawyer friends Ferrari a good spanking on a spirited ride out to hunting camp.
