Chaos - 1970 Chevelle at GAP Racing
Chaos is a 1970 Chevelle that was spread out between multiple shops before we got the call to get the project and take over. We had the original frame and started boxing it and modifying it for another shop that sent it to us. The motor was at another place and the body.......... well it was at a body shop that told the customer it was ready for paint. After picking the shell up, I decided to have it blasted because what we could see did not look very good. Now that we have the car, here is the run down :
1970 Chevelle : Street Rod Garage Custom Chassis with Independent Rear Suspension and Air Ride 454 cubic inch LSX built by Late Model Engines Nelson Mirror image 72mm turbos 4L80 built by Century Transmission Forgeline VX3C Concave wheels. 19x8.5 20x15 Baer 14" Brakes Custom Paint by Painthouse Custom Interior by Recovery Room Plus much, much more..... http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/...ps09b10707.jpg |
Here is the shell we picked up from the so called "body shop"

Back from the blaster with a lot of surprises
http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/...psac499dc5.jpg The door gap as nice when we shipped it out. The blaster said he took out over an inch of filler used to make the gap so nice. http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/...psd5a3342b.jpg rags stuffed in the door and bondo over it. Nice touch http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/...psde98d4e9.jpg Some quality metal repair http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/...ps46e7374c.jpg http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/...psd85074e5.jpg They said the floors were perfect !!!! http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/...psbf7c45f4.jpg |
This thing is going to be bad a**
|
Wow! GAP, PaintHouse and Recovery Room is an all star team. I am sure this one will turn out very nicely.

Cool car and a good yet different color choice. Very nice!
|
Oh yeah, here we go! I'll be following this one. This car should turn out very nice!
|
This is the project that probably excites me most at your shop. Even above mine! This car will be amazing.

sweet Chevelle keep the pics coming even though I follow you on FB
|
I've been waiting on y'all to start the build thread on this one. Another sweet chassis from Chris and the boys at SRG. I agree...that color is so sick.
|
It is time to see how this body fits the chassis.

It will be getting a new floor and trunk, but this will allow us to trim it outside the car to know exactly where the cuts need to be made. http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/...pslm7xy6fk.jpg |
It fits like a glove !!!
http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/...pszxjeaumh.jpg http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/...psm1gcityf.jpg Borrowed some wheels from Meenaggie just to get it into place http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/...psjqk4nrdc.jpg http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/...pswxvhp6uk.jpg Added the front sheetmetal so we could really see how low this thing is http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/...ps88ndsxze.jpg http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1daxjg3e.jpg Still waiting on Body bushings so we can bolt it down correctly. We also ordered two doors, a fender, a new trunk lid. All the pieces are going to be sent over to Painthouse along with the car. Randy is going to line everything up 100% and put it all in etching primer. Then it will come back to our shop so we can start all the custom stuff including body mods, new floor, and tubs. Also going to be mocking up the tires so we can get the wheels ordered. |
That huge hole in the back is screaming for the 15 inch wide wheels you have planned . . . Actually making the 11 inch wide wheels look a bit narrow which is hard to believe. Looks like the rear suspension was set up for tons of wheel clearance.

Looking good Tim! |
Awesome project, more more!
|
How is this project coming along?
|
Any updates on this one?? I'm partial to this build not only because it's a Chevelle, but the color on the rendering was the original color of my car...brown. Almost makes me wanna go back to the original stock color.
|
Hmmm, how did I miss this one? Yes, and update or five would be great.
