    Default My 1970 Chevelle SS

    Just thought id share my pride and joy so here she is

    http://rides.webshots.com/album/572311499TBvXmP?start=0

    Thought I'd just post the link to my album. Ive had my car since I was 14. since then Ive had to replace both quarter panels, both fenders, all four fender wells, the hood, and a piece of the fire wall. Currently it has a 350SBC under the hood backed by a built TH350 with a 12 bolt and Chromeoly Moser axles. Its lowered 2" in front and 1" in back, with Energy Suspension Poly urethane bushings. The interior has been restored to original style, with Buckets from a 1971 SS, and the center console from a '72 SS. The color is a custom mixed Blue with custom stripes.

    At the moment I'm planning a new motor build for her. The plan so far is a 496 Stroker with about 800hp

    hope you like it

    MMMM! I LOVE Chevelles.

    I really miss my '69. That was my favorite car of all time. Too bad it was destroyed in a hail storm...


    I like the progress. Keep the pictures coming.

    Thanks

    This is what my family does for a living, we build custom cars. My stepdad has a 1957 Bel Air that's won 5 awards so far. That one is a full out show car that is still driven. Its got a Ramjet 502 BBC/T56 in it on bags and a full custom dyed and hand picked ostrich skin and leather interior, its pearl blue with a pearl white roof.

    I love the older cars and have been looking t a company that will take your old ride and convert it to electric. Of course I would never ruin any classic that way...

    Haha, Ill see if I can dig up a few pics of the '57. I love what I do and wouldn't trade it for anything. I'm thinking about applying some of my skills to my mod that I'm starting.

    Didn't realize we had so many car nuts in here.

    I myself am a huge musclecar guy. I've owned over 150 cars. My hobby was restoring and modifying classic cars until I discovered computers.

    I just sold an all original 64 Malibu SS Convertible, 67 Malibu 2dr HT, 68 Camaro, 67 Camaro, and a 64 Malibu hard top.

    I currently have a 69 SS396 Chevelle w/468 cid in super bright yellow w/ black interior. Oh and a 73 El camino I just picked up w/ 57,000 original miles to do a easy resto on. Oh and I have a 71 Chevelle just about ready for paint.


    We must see moar pics of your car and any others!!
