I just did my 72 442 (has the same wheelhouses as the Chevelle) and I couldnt find anyone that makes a kit for them. What I did was buy a set of replacement inner wheelhouses and cut the stock ones out leaving 2" of them still in the car and cut the new ones to fit(gained 2") and welded them together. I also had to notch the frame alot to get the added clearance. The only problem with doing it this way is the wheelhouses are rounded in the corner so it will not allow you to run a really tall tire. I didnt care about height so it wasnt a big deal to me. I have a set of 345-40-17 on 17x12 wheels.
