HPI Customs - Project Vicarious - '52 Chevy 3100

[HPIcustoms]

Featured at SEMA 2014, our 1952 Chevy 3100 truck we call: Vicarious.
This truck was built secretly behind closed doors for Tyler's Dad as "Thank you" gift, which we presented to him at SEMA 2014. HPI Customs would not be where it is today without his dad's help and support along the way.

The build had a total of 46 gracious sponsors who supplied us with awesome high quality parts to help us achieve the amazing result, we'd like to thank all those involved below:



Vortech Superchargers, Hermance Design, Dakota Digital, Rydell Chevrolet, American Autowire, Afco, Dynatech, Vibrant Performance, KinDigIt Designs, E-Stopp, Missing Link Machine, Auto Resurrection, Sew Fine Interiors, Rain Gear, Sunspec Billet Factory, Prismatic Powders, Budnik Wheels, Kore3 Brakes, Hydratech Braking, Borla Exhaust, Rick's Tanks, Speedway Engineering, Flaming River, MSD, Holley Performance EFI, MB Quart Audio, Quiet Ride, Electric Life, Eddie Motorsports, Powertrain Control Solutions, Impact Racing, Techflex, Hose Candy, Golden Leaf Automotive, Vintage Air, Lokar Performance, Hagan Auto, Kal Tire, Performance World

She rides on C4 Corvette suspension, massive Z06 brakes, and is powered by a Vortech supercharged small block Chevy with EFI and methanol injection, backed by a paddle shifted GMPP Supermatic transmission. Tons of mods round out the custom luxury sport leather interior, a full CNC machined dash layout, and more body mods than we can count!
