We have been still chipping away a little at a time. The front suspension is almost done so we started on the rear found this ford 9" in the back of the garage and it was almost the same with as the original so we dug it out and started cleaning it up with a wire brush and a 4" grinder.

pulled out the rear end it is a 12 bolt posi with 4:11 gears I cleaned it and painted it up. I also sandblasted the drums and sqirted some ceramic high temp paint on them as well. also have new drum hardware and shoes that will go with as well. looking to get $1,100 for it plus shipping if intrested please let me know. I also have a set of rear disks off a 2002 camaro new drilled and slotted rotors that I could fabricate some brackets for to make these work for a couple hundred more.

Well life can play some pretty good tricks sometimes just when you think you have a direction you get kicked in the nuts and you have to pull your self up and go a different way. after a closer look turns out I jumped the gun and got all excited about having one sitting in the back of the garage that was almost the same with and did not check the pinion being centered and this one was off by 4.25 oh FFFF!! :disgusted: Well looks like there is allways option B. good news is sold the 12 bolt to help pay for this.

Looking good Eric.

You're the man Eric. :king: Sweet score on the rear end. I think you'll be more happy with this one myself.

Wayne if you think I look good you need to get out more??just kidding. I really want to see your car out this summer!

sometimes even if you can do it your self does not mean you should! rear is almost done. now on to the frame mods!

moving right along! rear sold and gone new 9" going in for now.

Looking great Eric, always nice to keep making progress. What did you do to use the CTSV calipers on the rear, did you make your own brackets? Also are you running the same on the front?

Looks great Eric. Get that rear in there, so we can see rear ride height! What color is this car gonna be?

yes the last page of the build thread shows the brackets for the front. the calipers are different the fronts are quite a bit bigger the rotors are 14" front and rear though.hope this helps.

it might be a little while I am in the process of doing some updates to my 63 belair and designing a new rear clip for this chassis.but still chipping away a little at a time.stay tuned in for more.

ok here we go again it has been awhile since I have had any time to roll on the chevelle the belair took up the summer and the corvette part out is taking longer than planned,however it looks like it is time to jump back to the chevelle.
:plans for this winter are:
: remove body from frame
: install HPI. customs frame kit mod rear frame to accept 345 tires
:fabricate new gas tank
:design and fab up new fuel system
:finish up rear brakes and air ride system.
I should prob. stop now.lol.

http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/u...psab97be8e.jpg

just keep building it and have fun.

2nd chance will evolve every 6 months to keep it fresh. It's cheaper then building another car.

Thanks Marty your car looks great and I hope you get out and use this one and your bike that you bring with you.! . :hitaxeonthehead: hey wait a minute your being sarcastic because I am building another car.lol this might be why I named it go for broke! LOL. :G-Dub: The be lair is going to be my daily driver and the chevelle is going through all the stages of custom and creativity tell it is done.

is it just me or do these just look awesome or what? I can't even begin to describe how stoked I am to get back to the chevelle! Did not plan on buying and completely parting out a corvette and one holiday celebration after another! finally it is time to really get on a roll I have been picking up parts for a while and my goal is to get some turbo fab. done then pull the body to modify the frame with a HPI. frame kit and lots more!
http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/u...psbb715ead.jpg

Its Going to be slick!

Thanks Wayne I hope your car is going to be out this coming summer! I am going to work on this car all winter long and really start making progress now!

who hoo. finally got some time this weekend to get some work done on the chevelle fabricated some turbo holding devices to get a feel for were the turbo's are going to sit this should be pretty close to where they are going to be kicking the idea around about using some stainless works turbo headers and just fab. from there any thoughts on this??????

I love watching this project grow!! Looks great guys.

Thanks for the interest I hope to really get jamming on the car for the rest of the winter so stay tuned in for more cool stuff coming up soon!

well we set the car down on the ground for one last measurement session before pulling the body off.next on the list is to do some more frame mods. and turbo piping!

http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps9188bdc7.jpg

man do we have some cool stuff coming up been super busy collecting parts to get rolling on this build.decided to order some Stainless works headers to speed up the turbo piping time. man they make some nice stuff! was planning on making my own but time is a huge thing and they already had some that look like they will work perfect! super people to work with and really fast shipping .

pretty nice job on the turbos manifolds

Stainless works built the headers and that is my head start. now its time to fab the rest myself. lots more to come on this topic!

there you go - you've lost your mind again and i think it's awesome.

Twin Turbo is very cool

LOL. I hope to really find my mind someday! WTF. was I thinking oh I have an idea lets build not just one but 2 twin turbo cars at the same time! pretty sure the name [GO FOR BROKE] name was very appropriate ! Hope to really get on a roll in the next couple weeks though.

Making alot of progress or anti progress lately going like hell on mock up and putting stuff together and then taking it apart again. picking up parts still lots more to come on this one.

finished up the rear end jig and could not be happier wih the way it turned out.

Progress is looking real good Eric. I'm loving the twins. That thing is gonna :Tomcat:

Thanks Marcus hope your on a roll with yours as well lots more coming up things should really be changing soon.

Looking good Eric.

thanks Wayne I hope thing start coming together for your ride as well.

It has been kind of nuts lately but still attempting to make progress and maybe even forward! send the frame out for sandblasting to a friend of mines shop called Crazy Talk Customs. so a couple of weeks ago the car looked almost complete and now just a shell and some frame rails.

http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps5f1a8d1c.jpg
http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps9cd3c814.jpg

picked up a 6.0 motor to go through and hopefully it is going to be used for this car?
http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps8fed1a78.jpg

ok I think that is enough going backwards and time to go forward for a while. I think my next step is going to install the the HPI. customs frame kit and stiffen this thing up a little bit. oh and there may or may not have some other plans cooking for the frame as well.
