Great progress Scott, do you plan to have it out at a track this year??

Org. I wanted to have it for the Charlotte goodguys.But now that Albert wants his firebird in oct.there is not enough hour's in the day.
so I am going to slow down and take my time.

Awesome looking work here. Looking forward to parking next to this one at an event. Keep the pics coming Scott.

Yea,Us COOL Chevelle owner's gotta stick togather.!!!!!:rofl:

Well after seeing this build I got the itch for a nice 66-67 Chevelle. I didnt want to go through all the paint and body since I have my shop full at the moment, so I bought a super nice 66 Convertible. Now for the LS swap and some suspension upgrades... Scott your car looks awesome, Ryan told me he talked to you about the Whipple setup.:thumbsup:

Here is a pic of mine before I start tearing it apart. HAHA

Tonight I spent some time and fabbed a Accusump mount using my new Tru-Oval punchs from Holohan's Hot Rod shop.I run out of time to get it DA'd smooth.Dinner time. http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...ps18c88524.jpg http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8065b75e.jpghttp://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...ps92aaed21.jpgGot the front sway bar arm's bent uphttp://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...elleIII009.jpghttp://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...elleIII008.jpghttp://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...lebuild021.jpg

Holy begeezzus do you have a press brake that can bend those arms or did you actually farm out a part to be worked on?


The accusump mount looks good. Where will it be mounted?

I bend all the sway bar arm's in house w/o heat.I am going mount the accusump in the trunk over the rear axle.

When I grow up, I want a shop out fitted likes yours :D

I started buying tool's when I was 18.I just turned 50 a few week's ago.It doesn't come over night unless less obama help's.

lol, you know, "you didn't do it on your own"....whatever :mad:

Car looks awesome Scott.

Thank's.

I desided to go with splined bar on the rear of the car also.http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...psae2674a1.jpghttp://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...ps328b37d7.jpghttp://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...ps561cda9d.jpgI also upgraded the frt. sway bar end link's from 1/2" to larger 5/8" rod end's and changed out the cone spacer's w/some misalinement bushing's.http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4f7c4301.jpghttp://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...ps665a0bc5.jpg

I had some one ask me why is everything just tack welded. As I'm building I like to fit everything.Plus I alway's change my mind or get a new Idea.This way it is easy to go back and move thing's around.When I disasssem. it I will take it over to the bench and tig weld everything.

The bars look great Scott. There should be a lot of adjustment that will come in handy on those tight Good Guys autocross tracks. Thanks for posting Eric

Built in adjustablitity :thumbsup:
no wrenches needed :unibrow:


Tom

Yea,I built the rear bar so I soften or stiffen very qickly. And the frt is as easy as loosening 2-3/8" bolt's and it will slide right out,and pop in a new bar.

Thank's Tom,It should work well this way.All this stuff on the chevelle is to find out what work's the best.Then come's the next one !!!!!!(PWB)

Excellent work and great ingenuity as always bud....

Thank's Albert,Between you and brandon I have to sneak out out midnight to find the time.:lol:

Well thought out and excellent execution! No surprise though coming from you!!

Thank's Brent.I wish I could go to sleep!!!!!

Who makes that sway bar bushing mount? I don't recognize the logo, is it hotchkis?

Those are hotchkis items.Around $125.00 pr.Stronger,an Look way better than stamped steel pcs.Plus last year I had a chance to meet John Hotchkis super cool dude.:thumbsup:

When I have odd shaped pieces like this with lots of sharp edges etc --- I run 'em thru the bead blaster... with the right grit - it will take out scratches and dulls the sharps right off there!
Then the part is ready for some etching primer... :woot:

Greg,I was going to DA them first then glass bead them.I built this part over lunch the other day.I told Dan Holohan I would do something real quick to show his tru-oval punch's.Hoping to get some time over the next few month's to finish up and prep everything before it go's off to paint and powder coat.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

OK, I gotta know how the sway bar in the rear adjusts? I know by moving the end link but does it get tighter by having the end link back closer to the bar and looser as it moves away? The reason it works this way is because the bar can't twist as much with the end link closer in? Am I close?

The longer the side arm the more leverage it has to twist the sway bar(That makes for a softer bar) .The shorter the arm the less leverage it has.(That makes for stiffer bar).The more ajustable the car is the easier it is to sort out.Soft rear bar tight car.Stiff rear bar loose car.So you are right.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Cool. Thanks Scott.

Well,I couldn't sleep last night so went to the shop I fabbed up a Trailer Hitch for the chevelle.The hitch will come off w/just 6 bolt's.Or I can remove the ball-mount W/a 1/2" pit-pin.http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...5/hitch004.jpg http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...5/hitch002.jpg http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...5/hitch003.jpghttp://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...5/hitch008.jpghttp://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...5/hitch007.jpgNow I am sleepy time for a nap.

I like that design. How much or what do you plan to pull with that?

Going to build a little alum. trailer 4'wide x5' long out of 3x3x1/4 alum angle,single 2000#axle.It will have 2 Alum. tool box's 24'w x60"L x18" h.That way I can haul our Tool's,Jack,jack stand's,Cooler,nitorgen bottle,EZ-up,Folding Chair's,Spare set of race slick's for GG's auto cross.And of course the most important thing of all(BAR-B-Q GRILL).

The Grill will make you the most popular guy at the event buddy ;-)....

Scott- I really like the sway bar idea on the rear with the quick release pins..

Thank's Cris.Just trying to make ajustments super easy.:thumbsup:

I know what you mean.. everytime I have to adjust the bar on Blu.. I need to drive it on my race ramps with two 5/8 wrenches.. it is a pain..

Any updates?
It's been awhile!

Travis

Well,I have busy building sub frame's.Shipped #44 yesterday.My reg. welding shop work has picked up some too.I haven't had too much time to work on the chevelle.I did order a Ride Tech Tiger cage for it.As soon as I get some time I will post up some photos of the progress.:thumbsup:
