Exactly what my builder said we may have to do. I'm not going to have much of a trunk anyway's. LOL!!

How's this car coming along?

Yeah...give us some pics. :flashie: We know you got some. Quit holding out. LOL!!

Car is on hold till I catch up with a few other projects here @ the shop.. The 70 Chevelle has priority to finish it up..

I have been behind on all my Chevelle builds due to wanting to test our suspension design before we moved forward on the Chevelle chassis.. now that the testing is complete & know that it works just as we envisioned.. Time to get these cars done.. This year will be the year of Chevelles & get them done..

We needed some kind of dash insert to place all the gages & switches.. So we made a pattern out of aluminum to get everything where we wanted it.. then got a mold done to pop some pcs out of fiberglass.. We cut out the dash then we bond it with panel adhesive.. body work.. paint with texture..

Due to such a large tire in diameter in the front.. We are going to have to modify the inner wells.. All plumbing is complete.. All our Chevelle builds will be using C6 Corvette booster with Master cylinders.. We designed fittings to plumb the metric outlet on the master cylinder.. LSA is in place with 6L80 transmission..

Some shots of the car sitting on the ground! Carter Hickman worked on a rendering for another customer that extended the rockers that made me look @ builds in a different way.. So we implemented it on the this 72.. plus we took on the task of building a rear bumper from scratch..

looks good, I did exactly the same color combo on my 68 Chevelle SS excep the bumpers are sating black and all trimming as well. Good thing I had mine done way before this one or else they would be saying I took the idea lol

This 72 has gotten a bit carried away with detail work!!

Cris, there isn't a car they bring you that you don't make look incredible no matter the budget. Really like all your builds!

Chris the fab work on these Chevelles look great:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

The detail work is only slightly outta hand, incredible !!

Looks great Cris, where's the painted pictures?? :warning:

Thanks for the props Lenie! I have been following your Firebird.. You nailed the stance with the whole project..

Thank you!

This one is still about 6 weeks out till we paint it.. My body shop is buried right now..

Nice, this builder is getting even sweeter.

Your just kissing up because it's a Chevelle!! :poke: :innocent:

Hey Rick, somebody's gotta offset all of that 1st and 2nd gen Camaro crap. :headspin:

Cool Project very nice work.
The new rear bumper + diffuser will it just be flat or will it have a more modern touch to it?

Now that is just bad ass.
