Very nice!!! Ive been following your build on facebook!

Thanks for the welcome. I figured since the car is about done and I am able to, share more of the build. As for the timeframe, that was hard to do, but I had the right people involved in the build. Some trial and error, but the partnerships with some great companies and the support they offered helped immensely.

Beautiful car! Very impressed with the timeframe of the build, and the quality of the finished product. I'd like to build a 66' someday.
Welcome to :lateral:

Thanks. As they say, everything has a price. I want to roast some tires on it first since I've been drooling over finishing it and enjoying it this summer.

Here's a few more pics from when I picked up the car in 2013 from Binghampton, NY. I'm the 3rd owner and the Chevelle spent its entire life in the Northeast. Rust free, solid car. All original panels, except for the rear quarters that they replaced pieces of, terribly, but hid very well.
It also came with a 1968 Chevy 396 that will end up being the engine that we built for SiniSSter.

And before the purists come in an say why did I modify such a clean car. It is a 136 code Malibu with a 283 and powerglide. Boring, and nothing desirable to collectors. Plus stock to me, in this form, was just boring.

Rendering was by Mike Lundeen. He designed the SiniSSter logo as well as did the rendering for the car and other graphics I have needed.

We brought the Chevelle in stock form to one last show Labor Day weekend 2013. My father runs the Olcott Beach Car Show and we had Dennis Gage from My Classic Car there recording an episode.
It was a rainy night, but I had to bring the Chevelle to dinner with Dennis.

Catch the pre-SiniSSter Chevelle in the opening with my dad and I in the episode of My Classic Car

The next day, teardown started. And what was planned for some upgrades, turned into a completely frame off restoration.

Nice... Buffalo is huge for cars, shows, and cruises.
SiniSSter was built in my 1.5 car garage and my painters 2.5 car garage. No shop on this build which made it more fun, yet tight.
