HPI Customs 1970 Chevelle "Roadwarrior"

[64pontiac]

So here is one of our Chevelle projects that is underway at HPI. It has taken a bit of time to get back at it after the move to our new shop, and we are getting back into this one! Kind of a pro touring style Chevelle with a big block and carb, bit of a break from all the totally modern drivelines! We have a bunch of cool ideas into this Chevelle though, so make sure you keep your eye on it at check out all the pages!

Lets try this, a teaser shot of what will come later in the posts!

So this car started as a totally rusted hulk, which we ended up getting rid of for a slightly less rusted hulk! The body had three quarter panels on ONE side! They patched the original, stiched on a piece of quarter skin, then when that rusted they glued on another skin overtop. I peeled it apart easily. And the rockers were sculpted from tape, tinfoil, and filler.

Dude!?!??! You're kidding me right??? After these months of silence from you, you finally return and only give us a couple posts?!?!?! Totally uncool.

I was going into withdrawal....

You start posting more pics of your builds or else!

[64pontiac]

Sorry man,

I will post more tonight when I get home I promise!!! It has been tough as we have been just clearing up a bunch of small stuff and trying desperately to finish the new shop in between. You will notice all the pictures I will post leading up to this week are dark, because our lighting still wasnt finished. I have it scheduled to be done for wednesday, so after that the pics will get better!!

Just to show you what we deal with on a daily basis, really rusty cars! Damn winters

Finally some updates for everyone on Lat-G! Been a busy last two months, hopefully everyone has had a great holiday season!

Got the Roadwarrior Chevelle out to paint before the break at the beginning of December. Should look good in a month! Here are some updates before it left....

March Ultra black powdered serpentine kit (entry level but a nice kit!)



Rear suspension, diff, brakes all buttoned up. Full Speedtech Package w/sway bar, modified Dynatech exhaust, Ricks tank.


And the lower valance modifications. Couldnt justify a custom panel, and we have a stock rear frame behind it, so we snazzed up the factory panel to match the spoiler!

I like that lower valance. Keep up the good work.
