My 1969 Chevelle Build
 

Hello to all. First time to start a thread on here. I have a 1969 chevelle that my wife bought me for a wedding gift a few years back. We picked it up and it was a factory 307 car. It had some crappy paint and a tow truck 454 block in it. From day one i started tearing it apart and then buying parts when i could afford them. Traded a gun for some nice engine parts and well this project has turned into a complete new car build. Almos every panel was replaced, every suspension part beafed up to handle the hp/tq from the new 540 bbc. wheels were ordered from rushforth and large 13" wilwoods to stop it. I went with a UMI stage 5 kit and kings shocks. Moser fabricated 9" rear end with 35 spline axels. Used a frame boxing kit from HPE Performance to help stiffen the frame. Stage 3 th400 from jakes performance transmissions. Aeromotive stealth gas tank with Fragula PTFE hoses. On the engine i decided to go with a Dart Big M Block, AFR 305 CNC heads, Mahl Pistons, Scat Crank and rods, Lemons pro touring headers, 1050 AED Carb, Victor JR intake manifold, Stainless works headers back system for exhaust and a Concept One BBC pulley kit. Thats all i can think of at the moment and ill post a few pics to speed up the process to get you to see where im at now. Thanks for reading my apologies for the pictures out of order. There were alot to choose from.

Engine sounds mighty healthy, What color is the wrap you put on the car ?

That wrap is sweet...

Thank you. The wrap is a brand named Avery and it's titanium brushed metallic. I went this route to cover a crappy red paint job on the firewall another guy tried to do and to help make the car look decent while I save up to one day afford a professional job.

Great build! My first car at 16 was a 69 Chevelle that unfortunately got away a long time ago. Love the body lines on them and yours is coming along super cool.

I'm thinking to wrap my car too, wondering if this was your first time wrapping and how difficult / easy did you feel it was?

My car base paint will be satin black and our local vinyl supplier said he wasn't sure that wrap would stick so well to a non gloss finish, did you see any troubles there?

Thanks for any insight and I'm subscribed to follow along!
