My 68 Chevelle LS1 Turbo Build

[4cefed]

I bought this car about 6 or 7 years ago, it was a running complete grandma 6cyl car with blue interior. I slowly started gathering bits and pieces and started to build it. It sat most of that time, picking at it here and there until I got some help thrashing these last few months to get it on the road. Between running two businesses and being a full time single dad of a 5 year old daughter, needless to say I dont have much spare time.

Car was completely frame offed, everything powdercoated, painted or thermal coated. I plan on having the car painted next year, ripping out the cheap seats and putting in something nice and overall just tweaking things as I go. I have about 100 miles on the car now, it runs and drives really well.

Made 500hp and 480tq at the tire on 8psi, I plan on dropping down to an 18" wheel all the way around with some more tire in the back, something really sticky. It doesnt hook for **** when it rolls into boost.

I was making a fraction of the money I do now when I started this project so I definitely wouldve done alot of stuff different but I've got two more projects lined up now that should be pretty slick when finished.
