Arrow "NEVER DONE" - 1970 Chevelle - GAP Industries

Recently an older build got some recognition via the All Chevy Performance magazine.

Deemed "NEVER DONE" the 1970 Chevelle began as a vehicle that needed a suspension update and then one thing turned into another. A simple suspension update snowballed into a build that it worthy of any childhood dream that rolls down the road.

This Chevelle will go as good as it will show! The LME built 468 cubic inch LSX is ready to pump out ~850 N/A horsepower before the GO FAST button is pushed, so with the addition of a 300+ shot of nitrous provided by Nitrous Outlet, that gives this LSX an increase to ~1,150. All of this power is feed through a RPM Level V 4L80E, so we can cruise with the best of them during those cruise nights.

Below is most of the build list and some amazing shots done by John at NotStock Photography. Enjoy!
