That's perfect mt dad had a 72 chevelle 4 dr when he was a young and nutty . Now he's older he's still nutty and wishes he still had his. He is hoping that the new one will have a nice classic look to it. You have done a fine job so far and keep the org lines.

When you put the lite units in the rear bumper did you put them in with the arc facing the front...

I put the camaro units in backwards so they would flow with the original arch of the rear bumper. I hope that the lenses will fit, if not I will make some new ones.

Well finally got to do alittle work today. I got to work on the exhaust. Used the camaro exhaust pipes and added round tubing to the ends. Made some exhaust cutouts in the rear valance. Dont know if I like the round exhaust may change them to square tubing for a more modern look.

As I said before it's getting better:) every time I'm on my phone I've got to check if you've done some update on this creation. It keeps me looking for ideas to build my own. For now, let see how this proyect is done.

[hotrod59f100]

Vary cool . I like how this is going.

[rmvw guy]

I like what you are doing keeping the old school look with a few new techniques, the low streched top, the molded in bumpers and of course the engine compartment. Can't wait to see more!

[customsrus]

Thanks Ira, Hedgehog, hotrod59f100, and rmvw guy for your comments. I am hoping to get some work done as soon as I get off this 3-11 shift.,

I love this car, can't wait to see how it turns out.

Ohh cool! This one's getting better for every update. The new hood really looks good! Exhaust... square or why not oval, like the SS Chevelle had?

[Johnny Racer]

Amazing looking. I'll be following this one from here on out.

Well I did a little work, not much but a little. I redid the exhaust tips and made them square. I hope you guys like them. They may have to grow on me. I put a picture of the round exhaust to to compare. I also added a lip to the lower valance. Thanks for looking.

Maybe its just me but I like the way the square pipes go with the tail lights,looks better than the round pipes.

I know yours will turn out better than this 1:1 attempt at a modern Chevelle:

THat is sooooo much better looking than the new Camaro...

I think the squared up exhaust tips look good actually. If you remember the 70 Chevelles had rectangular-ish exhaust tips so I think these fit nicely. The only thing I might suggest is just shaving them so the follow the upward angle of the lower roll pan but other than that... awesome stuff!!!

Agreed, the tips are great, but should be angled slightly. Keep up the good work.
