While researching the Subaru powered VW Bus built Divers Street Rods I came across another unique project we first covered in 2009<\/a>. This project involves a 1957 Cadillac Eldorado sitting on an Art Morrison chassis with air suspension. Under the hood is a 1,000 horsepower twin-turbo Duramax diesel V8 connected to an Allison six-speed transmission. It seems they still have some trim, chrome and interior work before it is completely finished but expect a lot of coverage when this one is done.<\/p>\n
