And they're really COOL too!
Jason and the guys made me feel right at home with they're KNOWLEDGE and all around good attitude.

YES SIR! :yes:Im ready to roll wherever the Gearhead guys may go.
I can't say it enough, you guys do awsome work!:thumbsup:

See you soon.

Nice! I am looking forward to rolling with a crew of gearheads down to the show!

the car looks awesome. The only thing I see is that rusted pulley sticks out in that sweet looking engine bay. :D

Nice looking ride

Thanks:)

I didn't notice the pulley until i posted the pics. Thats being taken care of as we speak!

Looks damn good bro. I'm partial to 72 Chevelles as I have one myself. What size & width are your wheels?:question:

Right on!

Yeah the 72' is the last year of the greats!

My wheels are 22x8.5 (255/30/22) in the front and 22x10 (295/30/22) in the rear. I dont recall the backspacing.

Im looking into a set of 18's for the track. Any suggestions on brand and front and rear size with backspacing?

Nice looking car!!!

Any updates?

Nice looking Chevelle! I really like the exterior color, I almost bought a Pontiac that color, called Nordic Blue. I'm partial to the white interior since mine is also that color.

That thing really can pull off those 22's, nice work!:thumbsup:

Thanks bro. She comes home tuesday!:D

Ill post more detailed pics and a video.

Right on! my color is a gm color called indo blue.



IMO the trick to pulling off big wheels on a classic is being able to lower vehicle over the wheels. although it looks good the way it is i would like to come down a lil more.

Any updates?

Is your car still at Jason shop? I plan to visit next week, would like to see it.
