New from Houston. 67 Chevelle SS
 

Hello everyone! I am putting together a 67 Chevelle SS for lots of cruising and some track time. I'm currently putting a Vintage air system in it along with UMI tubular upper/lower front and rear control arms with the rear uppers being adjustable. It's also getting Viking coilovers on all corners with the Ridetech rear coilover setup. The car is currently a 454, th400 with a 12 bolt and 3.73 gears and front disks. The next phase is to add full Bear disk setup, 35 spline axles with 9" housing ends, a trutrak or wavetrack and a Gear Vendors OD and a 4 point roll bar. I'm also doing and EFI conversion using the Holley Dominator EFI setup for better drivability. Finally it will be getting a Reher Morrison 583ci pump gas motor with a small shot for some track time. Here are some pics of the car currently just before I started to add anything. I am still trying to figure out a style of wheel for the car. I will update as I complete phases.

Welcome to LatG!
Nice car! Is this a recent purchase, or has it been in the family for a while?

Look at something other than Baer brakes -- frankly -- they're not great street brakes. Look at StopTech or Wilwood... they have far better street manors. I find that Baer brakes don't work worth a damn on the street - they just take too much heat to get working - and street driving doesn't create any heat. To make them work at all - you have to go to a super agressive pad. I actually used to think it was something I'd done wrong -- then figured out it's the Baer brakes.

Thank you. It' a recent purchase I picked up about a couple months ago.

Good to know. I was initially looking at the Wilwood and was told that they were not as good either. I'll take a look at the stoptech setup.

Welcome Mike :)

I'll see how my Wilwoods work, I'm betting they'll be fine.

I saw the car at GAP on Friday and it looks GOOD man. Congrats on the car!

Welcome!! You have a nice starter there. I see you say you're new from Houston, but your location says DFW. If you're in Dallas, I'm in Mesquite. Keep us posted with lots of pics.

He lives in Houston now. Was in DFW a couple years ago. Needs to update that location!

Gotcha...:thankyou:

Sorry I forgot to change my location. I'm actually in the Spring area just north of Houston. It's changed now.

Nice chevelle! Welcome,, this is the most expensive website in the world to be a free member to...lol

Thanks Will. I ran Wilwood on my 10.5 Chevelle and my 69 Camaro without issues. I will be doing a little more research before pulling the trigger.

Thank you!
