1973 Chevelle Laguna PT build (aka Bad Buzz)

[sr73bu]

Hi Guys! I've been posting on a few other forums for a awhile and have no idea why i'm finally getting around to post on here now... i'm a long time lurker...lol

I've been working on my 73 Chevelle for the past 15 years (i'll be 30 in Feb.) but made the transition to Pro Touring about 3 years ago after I finished my degree in Industrial Design and settled in a house/garage of my own.

Before/during College I worked at a collision/hot rod shop... With help from my friends, I've done all of the work in my garage including the bodywork, but not the paint.

The car is pretty basic and will undergo further mods as the years go by, but this is what its currently set up with:

-SBC 350, comp 286 Magnum cam, World products Sportsman 2 heads, holley 650dp, no name headers and side exit exhaust-(my current project)
-t56 6 speed from a 06 gto/Hurst shifter
- 4.10 posi rear
- Hotchkis Rear Upper (adj.)/Lower CA's
-Poly bushings throughout
-AGR 12:1 steering box w/ matching pump
-Helwig sway bars
-lowering springs/ kyb shocks
-Wildwood 13" slotted rotors with 6 piston calipers/ rear drums (lol)
- Forgeline zx3r's 17x9.5 front w/ Nitto 285/40/17 and 17x11 rear w/Nitto 315/35/17

The car is pretty basic, but its fun to drive, here is what it looks like currently:

Bad Buzz circa 2001- 2009 (before I torn it apart)



I'll post a few updates soon, as i'm currently working on a side exit exhaust and have a few other plans for the winter.... I'll also post a few links to my feature on Bangshift.com and Big Muscle (video)...

Enjoy!.. awesome forum BTW!
