Default Top Secret Chevelle revealed......

Well It has been secret for a awhile but today we posted 108 pics of possibly the worlds most insane 67 chevelle. It is wedged sectioned, chopped, and we are attempting to make the most bitchin tube frame we can design. So far it looks pretty good. We are using our new tubing roller with varing radius bends on the bender. We will be looking for some 4130 aero tubing and some other tricks in the near future. I will save space bandwidth and just lead you to my site. I will leave out the specs for now but it will be wild for sure.

www.ironworksspeedandkustom.com look under projects and it is listed as " micks chevelle"

Wow. That's a LOT of work. I bet quite a few people wouldn't notice the wedging unless it was parked next to a stocker. The wedging almost makes it look like a side shot of Bob Johnson's Cuda.

Very cool, can't wait to see the finished product.

Now you've gotta make a 7/8 scale one like Smokey's 66 NASCAR Chevelle.

bobs cuda appeared to have more wedge than this car....but that may have been the style of car too. I know they wedge it so much they added to rear to make it look right. Rodger you need to get a couple of your fab guys doing body work....your turning out rollers faster than you can get them painted

True. Bob's car had a LOT of wedge... more than I would have wanted if it was built for me. Bob's car still looked great although it was bordering on being an orange doorstop. Not that I'd turn it down if it were offered to me.

I really like the wedge on this Chevelle though-- it's noticeable and gives a great "raked" look but it's not too excessive in my opinion.

Thanks guys. It is coming along nicely. We got the door bars into day. They were rolled on the tubing roller also. The frame center section is being water jet as we speak. I hope to start on the motorplate next week.
