Twin turbo 1970 1/2 Chevelle Convertible project
 

bought the car in 2005 and been building this version since 2009 and hoping to make it ready in 2013. My idea is to build 70 1/2 version of the Chevelle like the camaro had. im gonna keep the 1971 rearend and 70 front chevelle with el camino 70 front bumper so all the lights will be round.

i try to keep the old story short , this i look it had when i bought it.

in 2007-2009 we build it to look like this. best et was 11.2 sec with full exhaust. First it had 509 bbc and procharger and later 632 bbc with powerglide.

after late 2009 i wanted to do it ones again and this time with out any big compromisess.

first we sandblast the body and frame and after that i cut the frame in half and add extra steel plate inside the main tubes. and replace all the major body steel: door surface, front fenders, rear fenders and hood.

next step was to dyno the engine that my friend Pekka rebuild me from the NRE engine that wasnt that well build as new.

here are the dyno results after the rebuild.

at the end i deside to coat the car black under the car to get more orginal look.

i will keep you post when i will continue this :thumbsup:

Nice car, the power level is phenomenal.:thumbsup:

thanks :)

did order loads of new parts to it hopefully they arrives in next two weeks.. Moser M9 with wavetrack and Full The Shop LLC interior , new turbo headers from Stainless Steel works that should fit to this car way better, rear shock waves..new windows. etc etc...

Those are ridiculous power #s

i have electric boost control so i dont have to have that all in use all the time :) On 1bar boost in made "only" 1050hp

i will have also the traction control from Motec. im using E85 and that dyno results where made on that fuel.
