TFchronos Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Wow, I am speechless, this is so amazing. If GM ever does a new Chevelle I hope they take a ton of notes from this cause this is how it should be done. Can't wait to see it when it's finished!

ValvEasy Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I know yours will turn out better than this 1:1 attempt at a modern Chevelle: http://www.amcarguide.com/custom/custom-chevelle-failed/ . THIS shoulda been the Monte Carlo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Hearse Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Looking awesome John! You definitely know modeling. Are you gonna be at the KC Slammers show this year? I moved from Joplin to west central Missouri, which is closer to KC. I don't even know if 4 state is gonna have a show this year in Joplin.

customsrus Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Well its been a couple weeks since I last posted any updates, been working a lot of hours. Anyway I did some work to the chassis. I made some front and rear coil springs out of wire, made some rear shocks out of tubing, front shocks are made from brass tubing, still need to add mounting points to the shocks. added rear spring pockets to the chassis. Modified front and rear suspension for the springs. Had to also modify exhaust. Also been working on the radiator. I added fans to the back of it. Will have to add mounting point to the fans also.

customsrus Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 last ones. This is the exhaust. I cut off the original in front of the converter and added tubing. I found an exhaust out of my parts parts box that matched up to the exhaust manifolds on the engine, cut to size then inserted then into the tubing.

customsrus Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 well this one is about ready for some paint. I am kinda leaning towards Hugger Orange with white stripes, a throwback color from the 70's. Then maybe add some pearl to the clear coat. What do you guys think??
