Tejas - 1966 Chevelle at GAP Racing
Tejas is a 1966 Chevelle that is being built for a long time customer of ours that we have done other vehicles for. He purchased this car with the intent of building a Pro-touring car that could pull double duty at the drag strip also. Here is the run down of the project
The car is a real 1966 Chevelle SS: Street Rod Garage Custom Chassis Ram Jet 502 BBC Procharger 6 Speed Magnum Transmission Super narrowed rear for a large lip on the 20x13 Forgeline RB3C 19x10 20x13 Baer Brakes Car will retain most of the factory trim Paint : Bright Silver and many more as the project gets going http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/...psx816mn98.jpg |
This is what we started with, a retired race car

We ended up having the car media blasted. Then we replaced the entire floor, trunk, both doors, fenders, hood, and built custom wheels tubs.
This is it once it was back on the original chassis http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/...psb99ff7a6.jpg First plan was to run a blown LS motor. So now that we finally decided on the BBC we are going to redo the firewall. http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/...pse68a2032.jpg |
This is the Chassis that Street Rod Garage built for us. The rear frame rails have been moved in to allow for the larger tire. We used their Evolution front suspension and a triangulated 4 bar on the rear.

You guys are doing some exciting stuff! It's a good thing I don't live closer or you'd get tired of seeing my face.
