Thought I would post this '69 Chevelle we are currently working on as a similar guide we did a few months back with a black '69 Camaro. The basic premise being that wheels and stance truly make the car.
Not every build has to be a complete tear down and start from scratch. More often than not, good vehicles with a decent paint and a classic look can get a completely new lease on life without committing to the full cost and timeframe of a ground up restoration. With a solid body, modernized driveline chassis and suspension plus the safety of new wheel/tire and braking packages, this type of build can be enjoyed after a shorter build timeframe with updates and aesthetic changes able to be added as needed.
George's '69 fits this model perfectly. In this case we would be adding a FAST TRACK chassis with 4 link rear, LS motor, Wilwood brakes and Forgeline Wheels.
The beginning: With a ride height most crossovers and SUV's would be proud of, this is our starting point.
Time for more pics! (Somehow February turned into June...)
With the underside clean and protected, we turn to the fit up and the couple of small mods required to the factory floor to make the most of a true performance chassis.
