1965 Chevelle SS

I picked up this 1965 SS a few years ago. I drove it a couple of years and then started tearing it apart and doing a few things to it. It's an original SS with protecto-plate. It's got about 90,500 original miles. The previous owner rebuilt the original engine, along with a turbo 350 trans. The original 10 bolt is in place and up front the previous owner added disc brakes. It also came with an aluminum radiator with electric fan. The interior has been completely redone. The previous owner also added the rims and tires.

My plan is to upgrade everything except for the body and paint. That can come much later. There is some rust, bondo, dings and dents, but I'm focusing on all the mechanical things first.

Bought a GM crate LS3 525HP engine and T56

Got this hydraulic clutch setup from Bowler.

These cars are one of my favorites,I will be following along with this build:thumbsup:

Engine out and front clip off

Factory A/C taken out

Seats, carpet, dash out

Awesome! The car looks well taken care of.

Looks like a solid start for your project!
