RS Performance 70 Chevelle Drop Top **PICS**
 

Here is the latest Chevelle we have just completed for a customer out of Canada. It is a '70 Convertible pro-touring ride with a high-end European flair. This customer purchased our test car, the Orange '66, about a year ago and then decided to go forward with a '70 convertible about a month later. He wanted a car that would handle and perform every bit as good, but wanted a more elegant, refined look to the car, while keeping the traditional lines of the car. This car is highly detailed and a ton of unique, subtle modifications.

Wanted to keep some what of a stock feel on the dash, but give more of a modern look. We were not happy with the overwhelming width of the gauge area in a stock dash. The gauge area was shortened and the gauges were recessed back into the face. A new middle section was fabricated to house the A/C vents and stereo. We used the stock glove box door, but built a complete new dash face on the passenger side. The Recovery Room will be building a custom dash pad for the top.

We made a die form for a recessed sheet metal panel for the Vintage Air Streamline A/C controls. These will be available on our web site shortly if anyone is interested.
