enowned for their high-level restomods designed to compete with modern muscle cars, the Wisconsin-based Ringbrothers custom shop unveiled three all-new builds at SEMA Show 2024.
Over the years, they have also developed a collection of aesthetic parts to install on your car, ranging from rear-view mirrors and vintage-inspired design steering wheels to through window opening lever-cranks and transmission arms.
Everything you need to turn your car into a star with a hell of an exhibition and road look!
INVADR - 1987 BUICK GRAND NATIONAL - monster of power
As I recall from my recent visit to the Ringbrothers website, this Buick Grand National would be the first car made in the 1980s by the renowned workshop.
Under a carbon fiber hood with a relatively stock look, this beast hides a 3.6-liter double turbo V6 Duttweiler Performance E85 engine. A heart of steel ready to roar!
The car can reach a phenomenal power of 1,246 demonic horsepower. Hold on tight, because every time you press the accelerator pedal, you’ll feel an unmatched rush of adrenaline!
A custom Fast Track Stage III chassis and suspensions, all 2 manufactured by Custom Roadster were used to be able to manage all this engine power. A six-speed
Bowler Tremec T-56 Magnum manual transmission transfers the brutal power to the wide rear wheels. At this point, even Superman would be sweating cold.
HRE 528 3-piece 10-double-spoke wheels painted in in Satin Charcoal are fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres, 19 inches in diameter at the front and 20
inches at the rear.
Orange Brembo C6 ZR1 brake pads with 6 pistons in front and 4 behind ensure to stop the beast. Stopping a car like this is a bit like trying to stop a rocket in flight!
The car bodywork is painted in BASF’s enigmatic Dark Vader Gray, giving this car a kind of mysterious and powerful look.
SUBTLE CHANGES
To perfect this relentless allure, a matte grey area has been created on the hood, adding a touch of distinction that will turn heads.
Plastic bumpers have been replaced with stainless steel units with machined aluminum protections.
Carbon fibre was used in the custom hood with an air extractor, side mirrors and rear spoiler.
Even Darth Vador would be jealous of this mechanical jewel.
AN ENHANCED INTERIOR
The INVADR interior, enhanced by the unique Ringbrothers touch, offers a refined interior where light and dark grey tones blend harmoniously, creating an atmosphere that is both
elegant and sporty.
A range of home-made carbon fiber parts and accessories and manufactured parts, ranging from the exclusive 3-spoke steering wheel to Dakota Digital dashboard dials.
An INVADR logo, which mimics both the devil’s horns and turbochargers, is embroidered on the headrests to give the vintage look of racing seats. Like a cocoon of a space capsule,
the racing belts will wrap around the driver, protecting him from the titanic forces generated by the 1,246 horses unleashed under the hood.
Trying to stay in place with all these g-forces is like resisting a storm in a barrel of whiskey!
TUKA - 1972 CHEVROLET K5 BLAZER - AN AMERICAN-JAPANESE MIX
The Ringbrothers workshop has a rich history with the Chevrolet Blazer of the 70s, having built many units over the years. This one is no exception... excluding for its base that is... Japanese.
GM Performance’s orange painted LS3 engine got a 6.2-litre displacement delivering 525 horsepower coupled to a four-speed Bowler GM automatic
transmission.
This monster on wheels has everything it takes to turn the heads of wild animals and wheels in all road conditions!
Custom 18-inch HRE Wheels in bronze/gold with 8 wide spokes were created by Sean Smith Designs. Nitto Recon Grappler A/T tires for light 4WD complete the
package. A Baer 6-piston brake system stops the vehicle in its launches like a magician who makes a rabbit disappear, these brakes know how to stop the Blazer sharp!
The Blazer equiped with electric steps is painted in Galactic Black by BASF and has a dark grey matt painted top sideof the bodywork and hood
with an orange thin line.
A REVISITED CABIN
The interior is colored in 2 tones of blue and a satin gold color matching the wheels. Its redesigned seats look straight out of a 6th generation Camaro SS adding a sporty touch
to the cabin, a bit like seeing Darth Vader and Iron Man staring in the same movie, improbable but would be breathtaking!
A bold mix that defies codes: a modern Blazer’s new sunroof for a modern touch, a Jeep Wrangler’s rear window for an adventurous spirit, and 2019 Blazer’s mirrors for a resolutely contemporary
aesthetic.
The loading bin or rear box was raised 2 inches to maintain the line defined by the height of the front doors.
The Blazer received the TRIM 2024 award by TMI Product for the most beautiful interior, as if the Blazer had won the Oscar for the most beautiful automobile
facelift!
INFECTED - 1970 PLYMOUTH ‘CUDA - infected with a virus
Created by Gary Ragle, a long-time collaborator of the Ringbrothers, this 'Cuda with its surprising pinkish colour was a running machine for SEMA Show visitors.
It is said that this ‘Cuda would be the first to pass under the expert hands of the team of the Ringbrothers, especially since it was a rather damaged unit that was used for this build.
Nothing like a spectacular renaissance to flash the cameras of the SEMA world press!
It’s a car equipped with a HEMI Hellcrate Redeye Supercharged engine produced by Mopar, a division of Dodge that was presented to us at the SEMA
Show.
The machine is a power of 807 demonic horses coupled with a 6-gear transmission Tremec TR-6060, this car has what it takes to make of it all colors to its driver.
An explosion of speed and style that would make even a rainbow blush!
The car is supported by a 1.5-inch Fast Track Stage III chassis with extended wheelbase that includes Custom Roadster suspensions. Stone Dark coloured 3-piece
HRE Wheels 5-spoke Muscle Series 105 wheels are fitted with 20 inch Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres in the front and 21 inch in the rear.
Baer’s 6-piston Extreme XTR disc brakes allow the car to stop well after a good acceleration. It brakes so well that even Batman would install it on his Batmobile!
The body colour, named Pink Eye by BASF, is a Ringbrothers blend of house colours that pays homage to the high-impact colours offered in 1970. A matt black side stripe on the upper rear part brings us back to 1970. The same colour hood is a reminder of the 'Cuda AAR engaged in the Trans Am series during the same year. Note the top of the air intake on the hood visible in the more aerial photos is glossy.
A REVISITED 'CUDA
The car had some minor changes, including a 1.5-inch extended wheelbase and shortened front wing sections. The front grille was made of a single piece of
aluminum and the vent under the front bumper was enlarged to supply more air to the Hellcat engine.
Other modifications: the narrowed bumpers, an exclusive hood and a customized rear spoiler in carbon fiber are also among the additions.
A COCKPIT WORTHY OF A FIGHTER
In the interior, there’s immaculately white leather upholstery, custom Dakota Digital dials, a classic carbon fiber pistol grip gear lever and an exclusive 3-spoke carbon fiber
steering wheel.
Front seats of PT Cruiser were used as a canvas for the sporty-looking benches installed in INFECTED. Between the white leather and carbon fiber steering
wheel.
INJECTED is a kind of street diva, always ready to attract all eyes.
