Twin turbo 1970 1/2 Chevelle Convertible project

[Studio57]

bought the car in 2005 and been building this version since 2009 and hoping to make it ready in 2013. My idea is to build 70 1/2 version of the Chevelle like the camaro had. im gonna keep the 1971 rearend and 70 front chevelle with el camino 70 front bumper so all the lights will be round.

i try to keep the old story short , this i look it had when i bought it.

in 2007-2009 we build it to look like this. best et was 11.2 sec with full exhaust. First it had 509 bbc and procharger and later 632 bbc with powerglide.

after late 2009 i wanted to do it ones again and this time with out any big compromisess.

first we sandblast the body and frame and after that i cut the frame in half and add extra steel plate inside the main tubes. and replace all the major body steel: door surface, front fenders, rear fenders and hood.









then i paint the frame and intalled the front brakes and ridetech waveshock suspension




my friend sprayed the Lambo organge to under the car and firewall




body back on frame


first version on the rear suspension with air bags and Q1`s on 12bolt rearend


door fitted on the body


painting done by my friend Jani..

next step was to dyno the engine that my friend Pekka rebuild me from the NRE engine that wasnt that well build as new.

here are the dyno results after the rebuild.

here is a dyno video of the dyno https://www.youtube.com/studio571

now the engine is on the car.. still some hoses and tubes attach from the dyno session but i will replace those with better ones.



steering rack and front sway bar



at the end i deside to coat the car black under the car to get more orginal look.




i will keep you post when i will continue this
