70 Chevelle Convert Make-Over at CHC

We've been so busy at the shop lately that I haven't had time to update what's been happening around the shop.

Here was a project that came in last May. It was an Ebay buy that already featured an LS1 and a few upgrades...but when it showed up it really lacked alot of details.

We ended up tearing into it and installing a new LS3 525 HP crate motor with the 4L70 trans.

Forgline was selected for the wheels. This is their diamond cut finish. These wheels are for sale with tires we ended up going a different route

These shipped out Friday http://www.forgeline.com/product_ima...e_image-14.jpg http://www.forgeline.com/product_ima...e_image-14.jpg http://www.forgeline.com/product_ima...e_image-14.jpg

and we couldn't power that new LS3 without a strong fuel pump, so Hector was called at Rick's Tanks

We ended rewiring the car. Installing Vintage Air front runner and AC unit. Bucket Seats and console.

The column was replaced with a Ididit and classic Instruments has a drop in gauge package.

We really wanted to keep the cowl hood and run a big block air cleaner and I remembered seeing a Mast throttle body adapter to run a Victor Jr

That is a nice piece, something you had made or purchased from somewhere?

I don't normally love that diamond black finish, but that looks pretty sweet on that red car with the black top.

Awesome clean work as usual up there at your shop. :cheers:

It looks great with the black wheels and top. Gonna be tough to better that.

Great looking car. Good job guys. Those black wheels do look good on the car with that color combination. I think the other wheels will look great also.

it's done and ready to ship

here's the new Forgeline wheels and finally the sun came out for a few minutes here in the Great Northwest
