In this Larry Chen video, we witness a daring endeavor to tow some of the most iconic vehicles in automotive history using their own cars. From Ryan Turk's Formula Supra to the mind-blowing Blazing Rod's Chevel, the team faces a unique challenge - the Chevel is just too wide for the trailer! This sparks a series of events leading to the unveiling of a wide-bodied masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of automotive design.

The Blazing Rod's team embarked on a mission to create a Chevel unlike any other, starting with ambitious ideas that escalated into a full-blown design revolution. With a focus on the rear design, they incorporated 3D-printed elements such as the bumper and taillight housings, giving the car a futuristic edge. The Chevel's wider stance, enhanced by unique features like a 3D-printed stainless steel exhaust tip and Wiggins clamps, sets it apart from the crowd.

Under the hood lies a beastly 540 big block engine, boasting custom components like breathers and integrated fuel rails. The front bumper, headlight assembly, and even the sway bar are all crafted using cutting-edge 3D printing technology, showcasing the team's dedication to innovation. This project serves as a testament to the fusion of modern advancements with traditional hot rod building techniques, resulting in a truly one-of-a-kind Chevel that challenges the norms of automotive customization.
