added a front spoiler to Mali2ude
 
Saw a post on the Chevelle site of a guy who makes aluminum spoilers for Chevelles. They're really similar to the first gen Camaro ones, and come painted flat black. I went ahead and ordered one for my 64, just installed it today. Had to get creative with the mounting as my intercooler eliminates the lower radiator support mounting holes in the middle, so I did some cutting to make it mount to the bottom of my intercooler support bracket.

I like it, not sure I'll keep it on there, but it does add something to the front end. Going to wait and see how I feel after having it on there for a while.

X2!! And it should help with air flow/cooling!!

You've been a busy guy Jody. First the hinges now the spoiler? Look great!! Car looks killer. You're not to bad with the camera!! Maybe not Rupp material - but not bad!! :lol:

you know, it's what I was trying for and now am second-guessing myself. At shows, people barely look twice, just cruising right on by. If they happen to get close enough to see the engine and turbos, then it's "oh ****!!!!!!" and they have lot of questions.

Kinda cool, but probably cost me a SEMA spot............. :lol:

Vegas69 10-16-2008 09:52 PM

Who cares......I love it man. I can only imagine the faces when you blow their doors off!:D

Steve68 10-17-2008 03:12 AM

If you look at it just the right way, sorta looks like it sticking it's tongue out at you,

wiedemab 10-17-2008 04:54 AM

The car looks great. I'm not sure what my opinions are on the spoiler. It certainly doesn't look bad, but it may have to grow on me.

The car is amazing. I love the simple - stock'ish exterior. It is soooo clean looking. I'm sure with the hood down, many people don't even consider that what is actually under the hood could be there.

rich-allen 10-17-2008 05:44 AM

I like it!

I think it gives the car a sleeper look.

whytry 10-17-2008 09:05 AM

I love the look, it's made me start second guessing my car's look. Been looking at how I can fit the stock hook again with the Procharger and quiet it down more.... I guess it's always that way, once it's "done" you second guess things...

I wouldn't change a thing Jody, I want to learn how to paint now cause I'm thinking about a darker color vs "arrest me red" for mine now.... Mostly cause I love your car and the sleeper look you gave it.

96z28ss 10-17-2008 09:22 AM

I like it alot, maybe you should look at what it would look like if it was painted body color.

camcojb 10-17-2008 09:43 AM

you know, it almost makes me wonder what it would look like with a very short deck lid spoiler, maybe like the short 70-72 Camaro one, as far as size. I don't know, probably going off the edge here........... :willy: :rofl:

Nah, probably not.:D

tones2SS 10-17-2008 10:18 AM

I'm on the fence with the front spoiler.
I think I like it better without the spoiler. Either way, VERY NICE CAR!!!:thumbsup: :cheers:

Gee, I wonder why I like your car so much:thumbsup: But I have to draw the line. You and I think too much alike. I have actually been looking for a deck lid "spoiler". I'm thinking more along the aluminum, drag race, points straight back - type of spoiler. Man, since your more "established" on this site, I guess for fear of seeming like I'm mimicking you, I need to coordinate and check with you before I do anything;)

When you start adding stuff onto a car that nice it is time to start a new project. Looks perfect as is.

rlplive 10-17-2008 11:34 AM

That car is amazing. I love the semi sleeper look.

my next project will be a track only car, probably a 70-73 Camaro with an LS engine. Unfortunately I am broke thanks to the Chevelle so that's on hold......... :D

Ummgawa 10-17-2008 04:07 PM

Your car is to Chevelles what The Mule is to Camaros. Not just 69 camaros, CAMAROS PERIOD.

Your car is beyond wicked Jody.

Stuart Adams 10-17-2008 05:08 PM

Bad to the bone.

camcojb 10-17-2008 06:28 PM

thanks Jim and Stuart, you're too kind......... :thumbsup:

I like the front spoiler Jody , makes the front look lower. Good choice.
Didnt you have black wheels on that thing? I liked them much better.

same wheels, just had the centers powdercoated silver. I wasn't wild about the black wheels with the car color so dark; I'm just too old I guess............ :D

You know how opinions are right , LOL !!!!
Still the baddest chevelle around .

Flash68 10-17-2008 07:20 PM

Not sure how I feel about it. I need to think about it and look again too.... My first impression is that it is a little rounder looking and curved when the rest of the car is so boxy and squared so it looks a little off to me....

But the car itself just rips everytime you look at it! :thumbsup:

clill 10-21-2008 08:44 AM

Looks like someone put a 69 Camaro spoiler on the front of a 64 Chevelle.:D

Vegas69 10-21-2008 09:00 AM

The spoiler is the wrong shape I would agree.....I like the wheels.:D

Clockwork 10-21-2008 06:08 PM

I'm on the fence about it, what if it was the same color as the body?:unibrow:
