Ringbrothers Infected Build Makes Pink Eye Hot

The highlight of Ringbrothers 2024 SEMA builds is Infected—a reimagined 1970 Plymouth ’Cuda.


Under the hood lies an 807-horsepower Hellcrate Redeye Hemi engine. The powerplant sendsthose ponies and 717 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels through a Bowler TREMEC TR-6060 six-speed manual transmission, paired with a custom torque tube setup reminiscent of a front-engine Corvette. A custom Roadster Shop Fast Track chassis, Fox RS SV coilovers, and massive Baer Brakes ensure the ’Cuda can handle all that power with finesse.


According to the builders, there are over 5,600 man-hours poured into the project

Ringbrothers didn’t stop at performance. The ’Cuda’s wheelbase was stretched 1.5 inches, creating a modernized profile without sacrificing its classic muscle car aesthetics. The front and rear bumpers have been tucked closer to the body, and the front overhang has been reduced for sharper proportions. The bold Pink Eye paint, developed with BASF, is a nod to Mopar’s classic High-Impact color palette.

Inside, the Infected is no less striking. Upholstery Unlimited wrapped the cabin in white leather, accentuated by Dakota Digital gauges and a custom Apple CarPlay-compatible audio system. Modern touches like a Gentex rearview mirror with an integrated camera display complement the vintage-inspired design.


On display at SEMA 2024, Infected is a striking reminder of why Ringbrothers remains at the forefront of the custom automotive world.
