Soon enough. It will be low, It will very understated, It will have lots of big body mods and it will have 900-1000hp using a Chevrolet crate engine.

Thank you very much. The whole team in the shop did a great job. The customer says the drive of this car rivals his ZL1 Camaro but looks way cooler.

Looks great in these pics... car must be such a head turner in person.

IMO the '70 Chevelle is one of the best looking Chevy designs ever.

Rodger and crew ...you have stylishly enhanced it highlighted by the 'stance of the year'.

Thanks. Like I have always said it is not the nicest car we have ever built since it has 15 year old paint and vinyl top but man does that car get some attention. Head turner for sure.

Thanks again.

I was SO hoping for a direct injection engine build. Not that this won't be really nice, but kinda had my hopes up for the new LT stuff.
Can't wait to follow the new build!

Scott, Rodger said upwards of 1000 hp. I don't think the new LT has enough aftermarket support to get to that level yet. I could be wrong, but I don't think so. And, I'm pretty sure the stock stuff can't support that much. But, I don't anything, I'm just saying.
