From the beginning of the buildup of Project Cool Blue, our resident 1965 Coronet, our intention was for it to be a stock-looking sleeper.

In the last go-round, we installed a QA1 REV Series carbon fiber driveshaft that can safely handle up to 2,000 hp. Prior to that, we wired the engine compartment and hooked up all the necessary components to crank it over and fire the spark plugs.
