Hey all I'm new around here. Just picked up my Chevelle about 3 months ago. Motor is a 454, TH350 w/ 3500 stall, Ford 9" full spool. Not sure on motor specs yet (got a nasty cam). Guy I got it off of didn't know. Its got a ladder bar set up in the back.

I'm taking it to Crusin the Coast in MS this Oct as is but once I get back I'll start tearing into it. Plans are for a full rebuild of the 454 and add a blowthru set up on it, update suspension (front and rear), redo cage set-up....basically alot to do. I'll keep it posted. Let me know what you all think. Not a bad starting point IMO..especially for what I got it for!

Great looking car!

Good luck with the 'transformation'

Looks like a nice clean car.
Are you going to tear it down and start from scratch?
GOOD LUCK!!

Well the plan is to pull the body off the frame, redo the back half (its an old job). The body itself is in good shape but I have found a few typical spots that rust on Chevelle's. I'm going to go with the same color scheme but I'm updating the wheels with some 18's. I think I'm going to go with some black w/ chrome lips. Should set off the green color. Look militaryish.
