The Story

I’ve had this Bel Air for about ten years now. It has a 5.3 LS engine and a 4L60 transmission, and we set it up with a Ridetech air ride suspension.

We drive it all over, coast to coast, and do a lot of shows across the country. My favorite part of the whole thing is just being able to drive it.
