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.
