It's coming...slow as usual. I've got something else in the works though that I'm keeping under wraps for now.

Here is a video I made in my garage to show off the new suspension I am installing by Speedtech to convert the front from a factory coil to a coil-over.




I have been working on my video producing so if anyone has any suggestions feel free to post them up. Let me know what you think.


Thanks

The car looks great, Nick!

You might consider this for putting EFI on the 383. https://www.eficonnection.com/

No reason to ditch the engine if it's put together well and makes the power you want.

Keep up the good work!

Speedtech ought to cut you a check for that vid - nicely done and very informative.

I'll put in my vote for FiTech for the carb replacement. Just don't use their Fuel Commander, go inline pump or better yet, in-tank.

Love your car.

Update on my front end suspension swap, I pulled the front end apart and found this happening. Any suggestions on why this would happen or see it before?

Got a chance to work on the frame and prep for the new coil over mounts to weld in. Here is a vid I posted on my YouTube channel.




Let me know what you think.

I get a lot of questions about my Chevelle front bumper spoiler/valance. What did I use and how is it mounted? So I made a video showing off how it's mounted.
