1967 Chevelle w/ Schwartz Performance G-Machine Chassis & 1900hp Nelson Engine

[Schwartz Perf]

This 1967 Chevelle came to Schwartz Performance as a complete running & driving car. Through a full tear-down and rebuild, we are transforming it into an outrageous street machine with a new G-Machine Chassis, 1900hp NRE engine, airride, etc. This will be, essentially, a brand new supercar when it leaves Schwartz Performance Inc.

The plan:
- G-Machine Chassis by Schwartz Performance
- 1900hp twin-turbo 509 by Nelson Racing Engines
- 18x9 & 18x12.5 2pc wheels by Rushforth Wheels
- 265/40 & 345/35 "ET Street" tires by Mickey Thompson
- Lightweight 14" 6-piston brakes by Baer Brakes
- Shockwave air-ride by RideTech
- Full Dynamat Extreme interior
- 6-point roll cage by Schwartz Performance
- Adjustable racing seats by Recaro
- New floors & quarter panels by Schwartz Performance
- Custom stainless-steel exhaust by Schwartz Performance
- Custom intercooler piping by Schwartz Performance
- Complete paint by Schwartz Performance
- Much more...

Let me back up, and start from the beginning...


When we first received this 67 Chevelle from California, it appeared to be a decently clean car...

We removed the old floppy chassis and engine:

But looks can be deceiving... After sand-blasting, we found a lot of issues. It needed a lot of rust repair. New quarter panels were a must.

We did a simple shave on the firewall, like we do on all our cars.

Many new panels were fitted.

Fitting the body to the new G-Machine Chassis was just the start.

The firewall, underhood, etc. were painted first for logistics sake.

Minitubbing is very common at Schwartz Performance. Our G-Machine Chassis is designed to allow up to 345mm tires in the rear:
