[spitfire980]

Well, here it goes...

Im mostly a euro car guy (92 Mercedes SL300-24 Brabus, 98 BMW 750 and a 83 BMW 633) but had a 76 vette that i used to drive from time to time before i sold it and i wanted to get my hands on a chevelle, camaro or a nova. Spent months on ebay looking for a project and got this, 68 Chevelle. Its perfect candidate for an LS swap. Got it for 1k and another 1800 shipping it to my part of the world and here she is

30 days later, arriving at 3am and seeing it for the first time






Lifted it up and thankfully its a clean frame with a bad floor panel


Ordered P-S-T body mounts and new hardware and while i wait, separated the body and sent the frame to the sandblaster


A quick grind to the frame to see what im dealing with


The resting place of the body till i locate fenders, rad support, hood and other bits and pieces and ship them out to my part of the world


Fast forward a couple of months, i gathered parts and shipped them. Frame got sand blasted and blistein shocks installed that i picked up cheap off ebay
