Thank youfor the comments

All the Carbon Fiber parts are from Anvil Auto and the chin spoiler is from a 67-68 Camaro but I also believe a 69 will work also.

Rushforth wheels are a custom fit in the rear, 20x10 with a 4.5" BS and then had the axle cut to the wheel and tire fitment in the wells. Here is the wheel and tire thread: https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=27423

And here is the rear suspension: https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=28220

Column shift, yes still rockin it! The car still has the OG 307ci & th350 in it.

So for an update:

The car is great and I love it BUT life has taken charge and I have had to put efforts into my business with changes/upgrades I have been wanting to for a while. We recently moved into a larger building we much needed and have a new web site coming together to help us run smoother. Once things settle and I can feel better with money and time being put into the Chevelle I will be all over it 100%. Here is a pic of the new installation area we are setting up for business and for my personal car plus buddies cars to work on.



So I have been all over about what to use for a power plant and tranny, I had a big thread about this https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=23933 and I did pick up a BBC 454 BUT..... I think I am just going to sac up and LS it. My wife and I love driving the car so really the LS will be the hot ticket for me. Currently the 307 I am pretty sure is about to tap out, she is smoking and I am thinking I am lossing the top end and I need to get another power plant plugged in so I can enjoy it for the summer. With money and time being put into business right now I am heavily thinking of another small block to keep the exspense down to just a couple thousand dollars and then start stacking parts for th LS swap once I have a better budget to play with.

If anyone has any suggestions for a nice little SBC 350 or maybe 383 stroker I a open to idea's for something to keep me on the road and happy for a year or little longer.
