We just had a conversation at the shop last week about the quantity of GM A bodies built [3.4 million from 64-72] and the inverse amount of aftermarket support for them.
I think the Chevelle [my generic term for the GM A body] has always been seen as a "middle class" car. That's why they were so popular when new...and why they remain so today, but [for the most part] as "middle class" builds. I see no reason why that cannot change. In reality, there have been several world class Chevelle builds, most notably the orange Roadster shop car a few years ago. I like that car so much I copied the color for Velocity :) I've been planning a higher end 67 Chevelle build for my wife for a few months...something AMG Mercedes in flavor...maybe its time to move it up front. I'd love to see some carbon fiber components built for these cars...bumpers, widened front fenders, inner fenders, flush glass, hoods, doors, and decklids, interior parts. The suspension thing has been well addressed with everything from shock absorbers and swaybars to a complete 4 wheel IRS chassis...but, like the early Camaro has proven, there is always room for more. It's the high end builds that inspire more [MUCH MORE] of the middle class builds. Stay tuned! |
Oh yes - performance parts hands down are well covered including suspensions, frames, ect.
But the "bolt on" stuff is lacking. Anvil has some stuff for the '70 as far as CF goes and I did find some fiberglass bumpers. But the cooler things, the carbon fiber things, thats what I want. Sure there is Covah for dash carriers - but that is it. I have 3 choices - buy Covahs, make my own, or stick with stock - I dont particularly like those choices. Of course, I only say this because Im in that situation. If i had a camaro, I wouldnt be posting. I would instead be celebrating. But I will be getting some of those handles when body work time comes around. Those are too cool. |
Of course, I'm a little biased, but there's no longer any reason to live with fuel smell, spillage, and fill-up burping in our hot rods. Our fuel vents have been available since mid-July, but could be considered at 2013 part. :)
They will fit a Camaro, Chevelle, Mustang, and Mopars too. We've also had customers use them on Jeeps, pickups, and El Caminos. http://blog.iimuchfabrication.com/wp...background.jpg |
