My transformation
 

Don't post here often, just wanted to show what I have busted my arse on all winter. And when I busted arse, i mean it. I work shift work, 12 hour days at time and every other weekend (i get 4 days off a month). Had a hernia operation in Dec. also, plus I have a teenager, house, and a girlfriend to juggle time around. Anyway, I got sick of the drag car look and style of my 71 Chevelle that I have owned for 26 years and decided to change it up to run autocross events. I've been running my 72 Elco for about 4 years now in local SCCA events and do well. Here's a few pics.
Enjoy!

The Elco that I almost daily drive except for snow.

The way my 71 did look

How it is now with all UMI suspension, LS1 disc brakes, TSW Amaroo wheels and Nitto 555 tires.

Nice transformation.
I bet she handles a lot better now!

Don't know yet, only drove it 10 miles to get gas and the front end aligned. I have a race this weekend, I'll find out.....LOL.

Congrats on the progress. The Chevelle is looking great. Be sure to come around more often if you can.

Wow -- Yeah the title of this thread fits perfectly. From Pro Street to Pro Touring... Personally I like the Chevelle WAY better now. Just seems "fresh". Nice job!

I used to have a '69 SS396 El Camino -- Dusk Blue with a white vinyl top.... back in the day the tires were SO USELESS... all it ever did was light 'em up. Fun but not fast. LOL

Thanks for the nice comments.
Would you all believe that the paint is 25 years old?
Had it painted in 1990 with a 1990 Pontiac green.

Looking good! Nice work.

Very cool! :thumbsup: Nice transformation!

Very cool! Looking good :D

Can't tell in the second picture, are the ghost stripes gone now?

Yeah those ugly stripes are gone!

Great work, love the cars!

Good looking rides! Like the theme. :thumbsup:

Looks great Brian. Post some pictures from this past weekends auto-x :thumbsup:

Had a great weekend racing despite the terrible weather Saturday morning. I drove this car for the first time since 1990 in the snow. Had ice hanging off the front spoiler and fenders when I arrived. Car performed flawless with some minor tuning to shocks and rear sway bar. Lap times were improving each round, knocked 7 seconds off on Saturday alone and it was my first time out in this car with all the new set up.

Car looks really good out on course, Brian! CAM-T should be really competitive this year! Only 0.096 seconds between us on Sunday. Hopefully we can get some more guys to come out all year.

Where is the schedule for the Hershey autocross?

It's only an hour and half from us.

Thanks!

That would be awesome if you guys came out and ran with us.

Awesome. We will see what we can do. We do a lot of shows so it gets tough but I want to make it down sometime.
