So I've been on this site for a few years now and during that time I have begun a slow transformation of converting my 64 Chevelle from a drag race car to a fun to drive pro touring car. I've had my car since the 90's and have done everything to it. I used to be big in street/drag racing and loved to have a fast car I couldn't really drive. Once I started seeing how these pro touring cars were being built I decided I wanted to convert a basically finished race car into something I could enjoy with the family and my friends. I want to do occasional auto cross events but for the most part just build a fast and fun to drive car. I really like the resto mod look. Unfortunately I couldn't find too many before shots. It used to have the standard 90's Weld Draglites. The following photos were when I started to make some changes and had a set of 17" tourqe thrusts. I've decided to keep the 468 Big Block Chevy engine in it for now. I am putting in a T56, upgrading all the suspension and brakes, and updating the interior. [IMG][/IMG]
Haha, my thoughts exactly. I tried copy and pasting the link of the photos from drop box and pasting it to the add photos and I get a little square with an x. I found an old how to thread but its from 2011 and isn't the same as what I am seeing. Any help?
I think the black with red lettering would look cool on your car.
I agree with the Black with Red letters. Who's kit are you considering? I did the kit from Kore3 and paired it with a DSE brake booster Sbd the car stops as good as my 2010 Camaro.
ps I did an LS swap with a 700r4 and a carb and I live that your doing a big block as nothing sounds better then a raspy big block.

Wow, see that's why I love this site. I would have never thought of the black calipers with red lettering. I love it! I think that's subtle and cool all in one. It'll add just enough detail to catch the eye. I am going with Kore3 brakes.
Great project you have going. I just signed back into this site to get motivation. my 65 is at the shop now and getting a lot of rust cut out and will receive a lot of attention starting in a couple weeks. I'll start a thread for it soon. Mine has been sitting miserably for about 8 years now.
Keep up the great work! and thank you for helping me get motivated!
