Default Newbie from Socal Introducing Project NightTrain
Hey Everyone-
Just want to introduce my self... I've been lurking on this site and a couple others as I'm fairly new to the car game and just gotten my first classic. This is a great place to network and get ideas and tips... So Thanks! It's a 67 Chevelle and am extremely excited to get started on it. I've always loved the body lines and the tail lights on the 67's It currently has:
350 Engine
350 Turbo Trans
12 Bolt Posi Rear End
4 Barrel Holley Carb
Edelbrock Intake

The body is pretty clean and the interior is immaculate and is a great runner... However I do have some plans
With the help from Jon at Driverz Inc. in Corona, CA, I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce Project NightTrain. Jon's been a great help as he helped me find the car and gave some recommendations of some upgrades I can do to make the car even better. Here's what we've decided to do:

The car is currently in paint getting some minor body work done, and the top will be painted with a matte black finish.

I just ordered some 18" and 19" Rushforth Rated X wheels which will have a matte black center and a gloss black lip along with some Kumho tires. I bounced around with a few of the designs but kept going back to the Rated X.

While I was at it, Jon recommended some Speedtech control arms along with some QA1 adjustable Coil over shocks.

I also ordered some Modo Innovations Pedals.

In the future, I would like to like to upgrade the brakes to some Baer Big Brakes all the way around.

As I said before, I'm fairly new to the car game and would like to give a special thanks to Driverz Inc. as they were extremely helpful and answer the hundreds... no thousands of questions I had. I highly recommend them. Anyways... I attached some pics... Some are kind of crappy as I took them with my phone... I will post better ones when I get a new camera and as the car progresses. Thanks for checking it out and the great forum.

67 is my favorite year of Chevelle. Looks like a great car to start with.
