Default Project 66 Chevelle

I have started a new project, this time a Chevelle. I've always been a Camaro guy but wanted to change it up this time. This will be a ground up build, including an after market frame (still trying to decide who's) leaning towards Schwartz Performance or maybe Scott's HotRods?? If anybody has experience with either of these, I'd like to hear about it. I will be going with an LS3 as well and still thinking about which way to go with the transmission. Vintage Air, Dakota Digital VHX gauges, TMI interior pieces etc...undecided on wheels at this point, but I have time to think about that.
The body is already on the rack and mini tubs are in, we are now starting to work on the outside body. All in all the body is in pretty good shape, just a few areas to patch. hoping for a 2 year max build...we'll see! More to come soon...

I went with Scott's Hot Rods out of SoCal. I met with him this past weekend at the Good Guys show and went ahead and ordered it. They do nice work, fully tig welded 2x4 framing, complete with suspension (Ridetech coilovers all around) 14" Wilwood drilled and slotted, 6 piston calipers, fuel and brake lines plumbed, fuel tank, splined sway bars front and rear, power rack and pinion, Moser 9" rear with 3.70 gears...the whole thing!!!
