LIAM Bennett’s stock-car-inspired 1964 Chevelle was one of our favourite spottos at the Hardass 1000, so much so we bailed the expat Kiwi up for a chat after the event to find out more.
This is a bloody cool Chevelle! What made you go with the stock-car styling?
I got inspired by all the original ones from the 70s, like the early Chevelles – the movie about Junior Johnson. During the COVID lockdowns I got bored and decided I wanted to do that to mine. I radiused the guards myself, and then had Dean at Indy Kustoms feather in the paint so it looked original. I found some rust in the rear when I started, so it was the perfect excuse to fix it!
