ok this seems to be taking forever but someday I hope it is worth it in the end. learning to tig weld again I just don't weld enough to get into a comfort zone so I force myself to do thing I am not comfortable with so I can get better with every weld here is the exhaust system we have come up with so far.

Man, that thing is hideous, said by no one that will ever look at that. Phenomenal job on that, and really the whole car.

I love taking work under the car that no one will ever see. lol seams like a waste sometimes it blows to be so **** but hopefully it will be worth it in the end.

freaking awesome...i dont alot of mod to my chevelle but dont think i will ever take it to this level...sweet build.

What accessory drive are you running? I went with holley ls mounts but limits my future plans for twins due to location of A/C Compressor and Alternator.

Thanks

My fav project by far but it seems no updates. I hope that means he finished it and is too busy driving.

Sorry about the lack of updates kind of had a delay of game this summer. Driving the heck out of the belair,computer problems,truck problems,and attempting to learn Cad. At the same time. However I am getting back on track for this winter so there should be updates often coming up soon!

Wheels were just on there for mock up these may or may not be the ones that will be on the car later. the front end is just hanging there with no tie rods hooked up it is just flopping around. stay tuned in for lots more to come!

it has been super hard to get back on track with the Chevelle there has been just way to much going on to even get a spare minute. hoping nothing else gets me off track for a while and we can roll again! here is a little something I have been working on for a couple of weeks now.trying something different well at least for me it is new technique anyways hope this works!
