awesome build!!! How did you go about removing the body line behind the drip rails? I love the way the drip rails look.

Thanks and to be honest my body/paint guy took care of that but he did do an awesome job hadn't been that I needed the car back on a certain date I'm sure it would of come out better. Il be uploading more pics tomorrow

My 68 Chevelle Ss Finally Home
 

Well guys I know on the previous post I stated about my miss haves and so on with what happen when I got the 68 back. But This was the offical arrival of the 68 Chevelle SS. I have been reading a lot of post lately and realized how blessed I am to have only taken 1 yr and half on my build never giving up hope of one day finishing. Well these are pics of the Chevelle getting ready to come home and its arrival home. It felt good having it at home for once. There are some changes I made from the pictures I posted a few days ago, let me know if you noice. I actually have only taken it to two shows and no cruise nights. I have just been diling it in and next summer I will be hitting those cruise nights but for now ill just enjoy it for the next couple of weeks before we get hit with the beautiful Chicago weather.

Beautiful! Where'd you get the matte stripes? Are they decals or paint? I'm looking for a set of z/28 stripes.

Thank you very much and no they are not decals a lot of people ask me the same question wish they were lol would have been much cheaper and they did an awesome job on the paint and stripes

Enjoying my 68 Chevelle SS
 

Well I posted a few shots of it coming home and very excited to say I am one lucky guy to have completed my project in under 2 yrs. I am 32 and with only 4 yrs under my belt in the Muscle car/ Pro-Touring scene. I would have to say I am not old nor young just in between to have completed a full blown bolt to nut restoration and still managed to purchased a 67 Fastback which is awesome running with a 302, AC, complete and mint interior and might need eventually an updated paint, ok it may seem cool to others but just to plane for my taste lol. As crazy as it may seem I just picked up a 69 Camaro RS, this one will be a complete project with no engine, trans. Well back to the 68 Chevelle and the awesome pics. I guess there's is no way I went wrong with this build ok maybe a complete chassis would have been cool lol. I can't complain all brand new AMD sheet metal, UMI Performance front/rear upper/lower tubular control arms, sway bars, QA1 single adjustable coilovers, 4 Piston Wilwood with slotted rotors all around, AutoRad Radiator, brand new American Wire, Phantom II automemter, Vintage air, Hose candy, Ringbrothers billet hood hinges and door handles, EMS trunk billet hinges, Forgeline wheels, Billet Specielties steering wheel, valve covers, air cleaner and many more of their awesome stuff, Clay Machine interior door handles, Lokar Midnight series pedals, Power windows, IDIDIT steering column, custom dash, ARP all aroud, Magnaflow 3' exhaust, Lemons headers, March Serpentine, Digitails. I know there is more but you guys get the picture

Great build glad everything came together.


This is the second thread where I've read someone had issues with Fesler regarding their finances. On the Chevelles forum someone was having issues with his project because of Fesler finances.

Hey, yea I noticed their producet and attitude was bs but they by no means held me back. I had Stitch by Stitch right away build me some custom door panels. Heck it took 4 months to get their hood latch imagine hood hinges. I was lucky because I saved every single email and also recoreded the sales rep about the whole thing once they started giving me the run arounds and even had them on a voicemail saying how they had funds on their bank account and if I decided to do a claim that I better not try cashing the check. I got my $1150 back without any dispute from them. Have you noticed how no one doing high end builds use their door handles or hinges or stuff that tells you something. Last year I called them out because instead of saying how they have great product they were just posting pictures up on the FB during SEMA bashing other hood hinges and so on. But enough with them and thank you very much on the compliment

Glad its home and it looks great! Time to enjoy it.

You said you went from manual to power windows. Which kit did you use? I'm looking to convert to power window setup. Also I like your door release handles, what brand are those?
