Hey Guys,

I just wanted to introduce myself and let you all know how much I appreciate your cars and all the hard work that you put into them. My Father-in-law, Brother-in-law and myself are working on a 71 Chevelle convertible that should be completed by spring. It sits higher than I would like but it's still work in progress.

Great looking car you have there---those wheels set it off nicely---motor looks sweet--is that a zoops front runner you've got on it?

So, what are the future plans for the car? It doesn't look like it needs much from the pics----sounds like you will have to get at least two others to agree with you on whatever plans you have.

Welcome to the site---really is the best place to be when it comes to this hobby!

Doug

Thanks! You guessed it. That is a Zoops set up. The engine was custom built by M&R in Glendale Ca. It's a Chevy 383 producing 465 hp with a Moser ford 9" rear end and a TCI 700r4.

I have CPP slotted and crossed drilled disks all around, CPP springs and Hotchkis sway bars and boxed rear end. The front sits WAY too high for me so I'm going to change out the springs along with adding some camaro style houndstooth interior.

I'm glad to hear that you "can see" that the front is a wee bit tall... Welcome to the site!! Nice car!

My old statement - when the top goes down - the price goes up!! Nothing better than a nice drop top!
