Here is a 64 Chevelle Convertible that we have been working on for a few months. There were a few pics in our Projects thread, but it has been progressing and it is definitely deserving of its own build thread.
Details: A lot of the components are still to be figured out as the car takes shape, but here are the vitals as of now.
Roadster Shop FAST TRACK IRS chassis
LS3 with customized Eforce Super Charger
6L90 trans either paddle shifted or tiptronic
18x9 and 19x12 wheels. Exact style still TBD. Good chance they will be a 1-off design.
The goal of this car is to build a high end muscle car that Tim can jump in and cruise anywhere he wants to in style. Eric Brockmeyer helped out with the initial renderings. We started looking at darker colors; blacks, charcoals, with a bright accent color to add some excitement. Here are a view of Eric's concepts that have given Tim more than enough to think about and a tough decision to make!
I love the 3rd option, sets off the black top. Great work as always...
just curious since we know the car is black are you guys going to be finishing up the rendering on paint idea's on the car ?
No - I dont think so. The car from there to now is a very different animal and adding graphincs would probably be too much. Had the car stayed as a more basic 'pro-touring' style, then perhaps.
With assembly well underway and preperations for the car leaving for upholstery, we received the LED boards and lens pieces from Greening Auto to wrap up the front.
We also finalized the wheel concept for the car which could then be cut by Greening Auto.
Lots of hand detailing later...
Bead blasting followed by some precise masking...
...and we have a pretty killer looking set of wheels!
