Here is another stunning example of one of our customers' cars.
Sean Sawyer and his team at Revved Automotive Concepts just finished a 2,200 mile road trip in a 1970 Chevelle that they built for one of their customers. This road trip was the culmination of the most intensive build that they had done as a shop; not only integrating cutting edge technology, but pushing the envelope with interior styling and under hood fabrication. This vehicle truly belongs on the SEMA show floor but it is fully capable for the road.
This owner's first vehicle was a 1970 Chevelle convertible that he regretted parting with many years ago. When the opportunity to purchase this "fully restored, custom built" version of his beloved vehicle came up for sale online he jumped at the opportunity. Unfortunately, within a week of receiving the Chevelle, he realized that it wasn't the high dollar resto-mod it had been portrayed as. The supposedly fresh 454 big block provided lack luster performance, the steering was loose and clunky, the restomod interior was uninspiring, and overall the vehicle didn't feel sorted. His search for a shop capable of bringing the vehicle up to his standards brought him to the Revved Automotive Concepts website. After several phone calls discussing the direction of the project the vehicle was shipped to them.
Sean and his team had their work cut out for them. They knew they had a ton of mechanical issues to work through but they were in for a surprise when they started digging behind the dash. Electrically, this car was a basket case. Here’s a great example of what they found.
They knew that they wanted the best for the car, so Sean turned to our ISIS Power team to replace the aging wiring harness. They wired the Chevelle with our 3-Cell Kit, inMOTION, inLINK, inVIRONMENT for the Vintage Air Gen-IV and our inTOUCH MAX touch screen. inTOUCH MAX becomes the command center for the car. Most all of the electrical functions are controlled from the screen, including all of the controls for the heating and air-conditioning. This eliminates all of the clutter of switches on the dash, keeping the look clean.
Sean put a lot of planning into the locations of the MASTERCELL and POWERCELLs in the car. This allowed him to dramatically reduce the total amount of wiring in the car. Here you can see the dash under construction. You can see the inTOUCH MAX screen and the MASTERCELL behind the glove box area.
Here you can see the rear POWERCELL, mounted in the trunk. This is powering the brake lights, turn signals, parking lights, fuel pump and audio in the back of the car. Since the POWERCELL is located in the trunk, all of the runs of wire are short and easy to manage.
Here you can see the front POWERCELL, mounted in the front, right corner of the car. The POWERCELLs are rated for environments up to 125 C so they can easily be installed under the hood.
Here you can see the finished product of the dash. With our inTOUCH MAX screen, there is no clutter.
The finished product is an elegant and clean car. Sean’s customer has the quality and functionality that he envisioned in his Chevelle.
