Mike & Denise Mashburn's '57 Chevy Bel Air
Built by Born Vintage Hot Rods
Kamaka and the team at the multi-award winning Born Vintage Hot Rods required design consultation and renderings for Mike and Denise Mashburn's '57 Chevy Bel Air project nicknamed 'Relentless.' The car went on to win a prestigious 'Top 30 Award' at The Triple Crown of Rodding, one of the biggest hot rod shows on the planet.
As of August 2026, the Relentless Bel Air has now won:
- The 'Triple Crown of Rodding' Top 30 Award. (Almost 3,500 vehicles competing for 30 spots)
- 1st place in the Gold class at the The 40th annual 'Classic at Pismo Beach'. (1,000 vehicles entered, 55 selected for a chance at the award.)
- The 39th annual 'Goodguys West Coast Nationals' Top 10 Builders Choice award. (Out of 3,000+ vehicles)
Three of the biggest shows in the industry... and came away with awards at every single one.
The initial exterior rendering was produced a year or so prior by my good friend and partner across the pond, Tavis Highlander. I then worked with Born Vintage on the engine bay and interior design development.
Upon completion of the project I also produced the side view, diagram style rendering and artwork for the guys to display along with the car at shows.
