It will be in the Baer booth.

Me too! I really like the changes they made to the car.

Busy day, but here is a good one to end on!

Thanks. The Chevelle has a ton of unique styling and components. It was quite a challenge to put a modern spin on something that, as the owner put it, has the style and body lines of a mattress! There was a lot of sentimental value with that particular car and he had a good vision on where he wanted the car to go. I think we exceeded our own expectations on this build.

Greening Auto Company machined the tail lights and tail panel for the car. The main panel and trim piece were machined from aluminum. The lenses were machined from acrylic then had custom LED boards and diffusers built in from the backside. Greening also did the 1-off wheels and a few other components on the build that we will highlight later on. We have machined a lot of components in house for this and the other cars we will unveil at SEMA. The greening crew is great to work with and are incredibly talented.

Thanks! Their work looks top notch.

Not a fan of those guys but they do come up with some nice cars sometimes.

Am I missing something? I googled it and even looked in the Urban Dictionary...is this like "BadBoy" or "NoFear"? :rolleyes:

Looking forward to seeing everything come together.:thumbsup:

That was my wild guess on Instagram yesterday. :rolleyes:

Owning a Lotus is helpful... not to mention I bought 4 of them for the '62 Bubbletop build..

Can't wait to see this in person. hopefully it isn't covered up much

The '62 was my first trigger when I saw this! Hopefully we get out of the tool hall long enough to see some of these cars this year! :lol:

Chris the intricacy these components is exceptional! :thumbsup:

Thanks!
Probably one of our biggest drives is not just coming up with a cool idea, but actually executing the final design and engineering as close to the concept as possible. Not an easy thing to pull of when parts and pieces reach high levels of intricacy. For example, the tail panel piece you will see in detail for the '64 Chevelle looks really clean and fairly simple in appearance. It's actually made up of 38 individually machined pieces, led boards, lenses and 136 pieces of hardware!

Today's pic: 3 machined pieces we dubbed the 'pringles'.

How do you get in with all those Door Bars or is it RHD?

There is a good opening right ahead of where the pic is cropped.
(2nd gen doors are about 10 feet long remember...)

The pringles are cool, were they done on a multi axis machine? How were they fixtured?

Chris, This Chevelle has got to be one of my favorite back ends of a car I've seen on here, and that is saying something with all the beautiful builds and talent on Lat-g. I always loved 64 Chevelles. Once its revealed please post more pictures.

Thanks Wayne!
As Phil touched on earlier, the '64 convertible body wasn't something we had considered 'sexy' until we started getting into it.

Much of the cars original 'features' were really concentrated in the tailpanel and front fascia. When you analyze it a little, it is actually a fairly modern styling principal to have much of the vehicles character in the headlight/grille area and rear with clean body lines through the mid section with little fuss added. (Think Audi, Porsche etc) This offered up a really nice platform to add some nice contemporary cues and really tighten up the styling of the car. We will absolutely do a full build thread update after the big reveal!

Today's tubular tease:

Perfectly flat for me to put my floor jack.:thankyou:

Isn't this style of exhaust built around a certain rpm? A local guy has this set up on his front engine dragster and explains it as a sort of power band like on a 2 stroke.

Looks great, all of it!

:thumbsup:
Dan

Are they true 180 deg headers?
looks cool. what was the reasoning?

They are indeed true 180 degree headers.
It looks badass, it sounds amazing...we need more reasons? :D

Also works well for keeping oil warm on those cold blistery days... :hello:

Man that's awesome. Burns really does know their stuff.

Sound is freakin awesome for 180's!!! Love it!

I was gonna say..... "Why? Cause they can"

Sweet, yup because they can!!:king:

Can we see more.. please.

Some Friday CNC action...

BADASS

How much does this effect oil temp? That pan probably gets pretty hot, no??
