Default L & H Kustoms 1967 Chevelle 300 Deluxe from pro street to G Machine

I thought I'd share some build photos of my new project I am are starting on it's a 1967 chevelle 300 deluxe that I bought back in high school (my first car) and about 8 yrs ago I gave it the pro street treatment. vortech blown 454 th-350 narrowed 9" parallel 4-link with air ride suspension 29/18.50/15 mickey thompsons. its been fun but completely impractical. 2 yrs ago I decided to lower the car even more. and then life has been busy 1 yr ago I started my own business L&H Kustoms and this year have been busy building up my business and the 1965 mustang fastback we had at SEMA https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=16299 and now its time for my car as time permits between jobs (evenings & weekends) Here is the rendering of the car that I had done by Jason Rushforth. If anyone is looking to have a rendering done on their car I highly recommend jason as he does great artwork and has great design ideas and just a good ol down to earth car nut


I am planning on using rushforth wildsides 20x12 rear and 19x8 fronts here's a shot of the wheels haven't decided on the finish yet though

demo is fun I'm not gonna cut any corners planning on this car representing my shop and to help showcase fab skills I've got a lot of little mods instore for this build. I am planning on cutting the cage completely out and building a new one that will follow the a pillar and going thru the dash I hit my knees on the one that was in there every time i would get in and out of the car. plus they had to come out so I could get the dash out haha
