Default Revamped '72 Chevelle Back with a Vengence
It's been a long summer, the car has been away at the shop getting a complete suspension, transmission, and brake overhaul. I finally got the car home yesterday so I cleaned it all up and made it pretty for the big forum reveal.

What's been done:
TH 700 Transmission
UMI Performance Tubular Upper and Lower front control arms (black)
UMI Performance Upper and Lower Rear control arms (black)
QA1 Coilovers
Bilstein Shocks
Front disc brake conversion with Baer Calipers
New drums in back
Newly built rear end with 4:11s
New painted gas tank
Shiftworks auto shift kit so I can manually upshift
Boss 338 (black) wheels (18x8 in front & 18x9.5 in back)
Nitto NT05 (245/45/18 in front & 275/40/18 in back)
+a few other random upgrades

Great looking Velle. Are you keeping the rake like that? I'd drop the rear 2" if it were me.

I know you got me with the windows. As far as the rake, I agree the car is sitting a little high in the back and I plan on getting some drop springs next summer.

I'll take some engine bay pics tomorrow at a show but as far as the interior its still a work in progress. Thanks for all the comments.

Great looking Chevelle.
Some question
Do you remember the backspacing on the Boss wheels?
How much have you drop the front?
Any picture from shop during the make over?

The backspacing is -4mm, there is more information on the wheel at jdwheels.com

As far as the drop I don't have an exact number as they are coil overs the shop did the adjustment and basically asked where I wanted it and did the work for me during the install.

I don't have any pics of the car from the trans shop but here is a link to pics of it at the body shop.
