Great looking car Nick. Nice color scheme. Those wheels go with that car very well. The '70 Chevelle is my favorite year Chevelle. Although, I do like the '71/72 year models as well.
Have fun and enjoy!

Nick, I love it bro! Just get that manual trans in there and drop the rear and it's ready to go.

You have any plans for autoX or road course with this? RTTC3?

Yeah looks sweet Nick. Congrats on getting her drivable again. Wheels looks great with the color combo and I like the top with the blacked out chrome. Good call.

I agree that the rear needs to come down but unfortunately an inch will give you some serious shock bump issues. That will put you in the 1-1.5" of compression range, which won't be enough. Raising the top mount or lowering the bottom would be a better alternative. If you want performance AND looks.

Wow..Love the wheels and the stance. What are the specs on the wheels and tires?

I am normally not into v-tops but, this is appealing to the eye. It draws your attention in a good way and looks really nice on the car with the black.

I agree with rear end needing to come down and the front wheels need to come out a bit. Other than that the car looks really really nice.

i had a vinyl top on mine prior, and i love the look. reminds me of a two tone.

what size is that front tire/wheel? whats your fender to ground height? how much room at full lock? im still wondering if mine are going to fit with anything close to a stock inner fender.
