project go for broke 70 chevelle
 

Well looks like the bug has bit me hard and I am starting another project!
just wanted to clear the air first and clarify who is e.rodz customs e.rodz is NOT a business this is just a couple of of friends and my son who is now 13 years of age who just want to build some really cool stuff! my goal is to build 10 super cool rodz. the first one was my work truck I sold a barret jackson years ago. The second was going to be my 63 belair but after pulling this car out of the back yard I got to thinking what if I kept driving the belair for a while and did the chevelle up G machine style so that is were the go for broke came in. Just posting this up so you guys can follow this build along and either watch me fail or build something cool it could go either way!

I think it will go the way of "really cool" :thumbsup:

Cool Erik!! :thumbsup: I see the Chevelles are coming on strong here lately. What are your plans for it...motor, tranny, wheels, etc?

Thanks for your support I will do my best to bring this one over the top and build it to drive the hell out of it!

Thanks buddy I have been following your thread for a while now and you are inspiring me to push it .the wheels on your avatar are what I was dreaming about but those are going to have to wait tell I sell some parts.stay tuned for more on this one!

Sorry for the lack of direction on the first post just really strapped for time lately and interruptions constantly. Well more on the plan of the car is changing rapidly the original plan was to give it a awesome paint job LS motor and just detail the hell out of it. I should of learned along time ago that I just can't go half way I try and try but every time I get a vision in my head I can not stop until it is done the way I would like to see it.so for now it is time to strip it to bare bones remove everything off the car that will not be used and GO FOR BROKE! my ultimate goal with the car is build a Foose,Trepanier,ring bros. quality build built in my home garage with just a handful of friends and low buck tools doing 95% of the work in one place including a garage paint job in all. My son and co worker Bobby willard are going to do a youtube video documentation of the whole thing so please follow us along to watch us either live the dream or fall on my face hard!:D

I thought I figured out how to imbed youtube videos but apparently I can't figure it out I clicked on the video clip icon then copied the youtube http code pasted it in between the brackets and the screen just turns white what am I doing wrong?
here is the link to the intro to our build please let me know what you think and any tips or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!!! http://youtu.be/Dw2WzxSGAdo

I'll be watching this one Eric. Keep us in the loop.

Thanks buddy hope everything has been going well for you!! stay tuned for more chevelle madness.

I bought this car about 6 years ago sold the big block to make room for new tech and put it in the back yard now its time to make this thing into something really cool. this is the most rust free car I have ever seen I almost hate to cut it up but I can't help it it is just in my nature so every thing on the car has to go it is all going on ebay shortly so if anyone needs anything coming off the car please let me know. anyway check out the lack of progress!

Ok this is really getting frustrating what the hell am I doing wrong here I click on the video clip icon the youtube brackets come up I spread the brackets apart the copy and paste the http code between the brackets but can't get the video to embed!!:( any help would be great

Eric I only see a white square??

Looks like a really nice car! My 70 Malibu had a gold interior also and I loved it.

agh now you see my frustration I can't figure out how to get this to work????

If you love the interior you should buy all of it! nothing in the car is going back in. if you need any of the parts let me know.

here is a link till I can figure this out or someone can help me figure it out.

No need for parts, I sold mine.

Videos?



:cheers:

Keep em coming Eric !!!

Eric if you charge by the hour people definitely get their moneys worth if you move that fast all the time. lol Nice video.

Pretty cool project. I really like the video idea.

as for the ride height control "Ride Tech" already has a set up like that. I even have an extra set of ride height sensors and harness

You're making progress! Just because new, shiny stuff isn't being screwed on doesn't mean you're going backwards. You gotta get naked in order to party! Awesome car choice. I'm beyond jealous.

Odd or Funny coming from a guy who's sig is NOPANTS68

thank you for making me laugh

Awesome project.Video's are a great touch.:thumbsup:

Thanks for helping me out with that how do you do it?

Thanks for your interest I am hoping to get on a roll with this thing after the new year so stay tuned in.

LOL. Wayne .looks like the power tour is out of the question this year so we are not going to be able to hook up there.I would like to see your car in person this summer somewhere.

Thanks for the interest and the info I am leaning to accuair but it is still to early to tell yet.

LOL. I like the idea of a party naked idea. hope you can follow this one along to see the transformation.
Thanks buddy I am hoping to continue with the videos for the whole build but it is taking alot longer than I had antisapated.! stay tuned for more chevelle madness!

watching this as well. Nice car to start with! looking forward to seeing progress.

:_paranoid Magic :_paranoid

Sometimes you gotta go backwards before you can move forward. Nice progress.

Good to see someone building a bigger car than mine :D

Shot you a pm

:cheers:

Thanks for the interest hope to really get on a roll soon so stay tuned.

Thanks for your help still learning new tricks eveyday. ps. I love those big fords keep up the great work!

where does the time go? it has been a interesting month to say the least. my wife was rushed to the hospital with a possible heart attack and that just scares the pants right off ya! after every test know to man we still don't know what happened but she appears to be getting better slowly can't wait for all these bills to come in! still been chipping away at the disassembly of the car boxing everything up to recoupe some of the parts money needed if anyone needs chevelle parts please let me know they are all going on ebay soon. Here is a little update of where we are now.

well this is pretty much all that is going to be used just the shell and most of the frame. now its time to start mocking it up and making forward progress.!!!

Finally mock up begins now is when the story should start getting good hoping to start making forward progress this year.:thumbsup: http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/u...d/IMAG2152.jpghttp://i643.photobucket.com/albums/u...d/IMAG2150.jpghttp://i643.photobucket.com/albums/u...d/IMAG2154.jpg

Oh yeah!!! I likey!!!:hail:

X2!i see the car was red before?

Thanks hope to really start making some forward progress so stay tuned!
Nope the car was never red this is the factory primer the bottom of the car is the same way red oxide primer.

Its so cool when you see that primer and know that the elements havent tore through it.:thumbsup: Mine was the same way. (Mine was also originally gold as well) I like the intake too. Looking good so far Eric:thumbsup:

I agree this is the most rust free car I have ever worked on wow what a difference to be able to take a car apart without a torch and a grinder! have a couple more updates just trying to get some ebay stuff done.

been kicking it on the drive accesories trying to figure out where everything is going to work the best ended up going with a f body balancer and power steering pump,truck alt. because I had one now just waiting on a couple of idler pulleys and a couple more finishing touches and we can get the motor located.

Nice work Eric, it looks like you have it figured out.

LOL, Wayne I am not really sure that I will ever figure it out. According to my wife I will never figure it out! it feels really good to be able to go out and work in the shop and go make some progress instead of going backward! but I am sure there is more of that to come.

Made another video please check it out and let me know what you think! good or bad don't be afraid to tell me what could we do better?????

trying to figure out what calipers to use 1988 corvette or brembo 4 piston.
