East Bay Muscle Cars Chevelle - Lateral-g Forums

Thought I'd share some pics of one of the many projects we have going on right now. A customer we have done some minor work for in the past decided it was time to bring the car to the next level. We knew there was some rust, but found we needed a new frame, floorpans and rockers. We are replacing all of that and also installing a LS3 416 ci from Turnkey (600 HP!)Vintage air, filling the firewall, and rewiring with an ISIS system. The goal is to keep a factory stock SS appearance with a modern twist.

The floorpans and trunk pan are installed, and are in the process of doing inner and outer wheel wells also. We recieved LS3 from Turnkey (599 HP) and 765R4 from Bowtie Overdrives and are in mock up stage at this point. Well be undercoating and painting firewall this week.

After having to put project Chevelle on the backburner for awhile, were back on it making progress. Heres a few shots with engine installed, DSE wiper motor and Vintage Air getting mocked up. Were using Aeroquip Ez clip fittings and hose and very happy so far. I'm done with hard to work with, leaking braided A/C lines!
