well i finally got the time to start my build thread. if you havent read in the new members section my name is mitchell laucks and im from the small town of fredericksburg pa. i got this car when i was 16, and drove it occasionally to high school and to some shows. i did some basic upgrades, rebuilt suspension with poly bushings, new sway bars and a 400/700r4 combo. it was fun but after my fathers pro street chevelle was finished and started kickin butt around local shows and even winning an award at cruisin ocean city, md. i had to step my game up. here it starts.

here is how it sat before i started all this, lowered a little, 17 inch americans and the 400/700r4.

i had wiring issues with the car for a long time and finally got fed up with it. i didnt know id tear it down as far as i did but you all know how it goes. ill point out that im not doing a frame off on the car because it is spotless underneath, just pressure washed the oil and sludge off the underside, reundercoated it and thats all.

when i decided to rewire the car i pulled the interior out. most of it fell to pieces so new interior was in the works....

molded headliner i did myself, missing the trim.

speaker pods and door panels i did myself, still workin a console and armrests for it.

at cruisin oc 2010 i got a killer deal on billet specialties, and had to make em fit so on when the ridetech brackets and airlift airbags also did a front disc conversion kit on it and hydroboost i stole off a junkyard pickup.

i apologize for the long post, but that about catches you up to where im at now.
