Novas Sold, time to start the Chevelle! - Lateral-g Forums

Well the Nova is sold and gone, now its time to start on the 69 Chevelle. We have had this car for about 3 years now. Its just been sitting in the backyard basically since we bought it. Now that we have some money and time we figure the most logical thing to do is to start the Chevelle. Plans include a 383 LS based engine, built 4L60E trans and full pro-touring suspension treatment. The paint will be bright white (possible ghost stripes or flames) and will have black 18/19" wheels. Here are some pics of the car in its current state.

All this work is just initial mar-glass work to hold it over for the time being. I had to go back to school so the more detailed body work will come later. The next step is buying a full coil-over suspension from detroit speed so i can role it around. And then starting on the floor pans. It will be may till i do anything else but you can look for some pictures then because me and my brother will keep it updated. Thanks for the support.
