Fesler Built 1970 Chevelle Project Build
 
We are getting ready to finish up another project its a 1970 Chevelle SS that is going to be a very custom but stock looking build. We have 19-inch Fesler FS 907 Wheels all the way around, Fesler Billet hood hinges, Fesler Billet Tail Lights, Fesler SS strickers, Fesler carbon Fiber door panels and Fesler emblems, Air Ride suspension, GM LS-7 Engine and 6 speed tranny, Currie rear end, Recaro, Kicker and a full custom metal dash. Wait till you see the pictrues of this.

Here they come and I will try to update it everyday.

Any plans to market the billet tail lights mentioned above?

Definitely have to subscribe to this thread.

I second that. Hopefully alot of nice billet goodies that go into this project will be made available to us. :cool:

I'll be watching this thread.
I've been waiting for you guys to do a Chevelle. This car is going to look "nasty" I can just feel it!!!!:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

fesler 09-10-2008 10:38 AM

Yes lots of cool Billet parts from this car, marker lights this one is shaved but we are making them anyway, tail lights, hinges, strikers, vents, door panels, wheels and so on. We have a ton of stuff in the works and will have a lot of new stuff at SEMA. Everything that we make for this car will be production run and I should have the tail lights done anyday.

Pictures are coming as I already have over 1000 on the build.

i so wanna see them since i have this body style chevelle (72 at least). i wanna see the billet ideas you guys use, i have a few but no how to make them maybe in the end if you don't use the ideas on this build i can get you guys to make them for me. any chance you guys make emblems to take place of factory fender emblems? i will stay tuned brandon

OK here they come,

First we brought the car in checked everything over and sent it out to be stripped. Check out the huge dent all the way down the passenger side and they said this was ready for paint. So we sealed the metal and now the fun begines.

THE DASH:

Here is the part I think all of you are going to really like, to make things a little different we took the stock dash and redesigned it out of metal, it still has the factory dash pad and will look factory but check out what we did.

First we have to build a metal template that will house the dash so its removable, thats right not only did we build a cool metal dash but we built it so its removeable so it would be easy to paint.

Working on the gauge cluster now, we are going to keep it stock looking but it will house way more than the factory one did. We will have a double din Pioneer DVD, Air Ride Control, Dakota Digital AC Control and Auto Meter gauges to go with the the theme of the car.

I know can you believe the work we do with just bolting stuff together it just amazes me sometimes. It only took me a day to find a metal dash that just bolts in on the web and we found this cool new metal spray to fix the body the way we wanted it. With todays technology its so simple to build cars like this.....:lol: :thumbsup:

I am glad that people notice what really goes into these cars and as you can see I am not afraid to show you guys a ton of progress shots from start to finsih showing everything we do.

2ND Gen will be up here soon we are still working on prototype parts for it and dont want to show them yet. soon very soon

syborg tt 09-15-2008 11:15 AM

the Dash is absolutely stunning - great work.

oh and the rest of the car is just as nice.

7TSS 09-15-2008 12:32 PM

Cool looking dash and very nice metal work.
So when are you going to start selling the dashes? I'd like one :unibrow: .

I am not sure anyone would pay what it cost to build one, we have two weeks in this one and would love to figure out how to stamp them, we are working on that now but not sure how it will go.
