Got any pics. Love Chevelle's. I used to have a 70 elcamino, closet I personally had to a chevelle, front half anyway :grin:springerpete said:That made me all gooey inside. :smile13: I still have my first car it is is 1969 Chevelle SS convertible. It was given to me by my parents and me and my brother were driven to grade school in that car.
Dig the rambler :smile15: What size tire is under there? Did you back half it?Here is the back half I did on my 53 ford. :grin: You gonna leave the chevelle with stock suspension?springerpete said:Me and a fellow jetter are in the process of doing a total restoration on it. I will have pics this spring when it is done. How 'bout some of my Rambler and Monte Carlo to do until then.
springerpete said:The Rambler is a 65 American 220 with a 400sbc, Borg-Warner T-10, and a Ford 9 inch with disc brakes. The front end is from under a 69 AMC, because it has disc brakes. The interior is from a late 80's BMW. A friend of mine backhalved the car. He builds racecars and offered to do it for me. The rear tires are 325/50/15's Mickey Thompson drag radials
The Chevelle is a numbers matching 396/325hp 4spd. I'm going to restore it the best that I can while still keeping it driveable. It won't be a Concours restoration. "Its not a car if you can't drive it!"
