just trying to get caught up on the thread again.working on building a new frame section for the rear of the chevelle to be capable of pulling a camper trailer with it as well. and I thought as long as we are at it.we would just make it smooth and clean as can be and reshape everything!

The frame exhaust exits look amazing I cant wait to see this with the body set back on the frame. That is going to be a clean look, wish I would have thought of something like this before i had finished my frame. This is going to be an amazing car afterwards.

making progress one weld at a time! this is going to take a while! I have an idea lets take a perfect frame and change every bit of it and redesign the entire suspension and attempt to learn 3d cad. at the same time might have been a bit to much to learn at one time.but I never claimed to be smart.lol.

more work on the rear frame section.

just read through the build. very nice. i appreciate the detail. I havnt got to the frame of my car yet (waiting for the paint stage) and hopefully it will look somewhere as clean as yours.

Rear section looks great, was going to say that rear boxing is a pain. I was trying to install my efi swap tank this weekend and ran into an issue with my boxing. The front edges on the tank sit about 1/4 inch inside the frame. So I ended up cutting up some of the boxing. But looks like you mad the rear section a little wider than the original so it should work. Looks great

thanks for the interest in my build. hope your paint comes out well!

Thanks for the interest in my build and I hope yours is coming along well! frame boxing is way easier than building your own.

Cool build. I love 70 Chevelles. My Dad had a stock 70 Malibu when I was growing up.

I grew up with that car. It was my Grandpa's new. Then my dad bought it off him in '74. He had it for a lot of years. That's the car I learned to drive in. It was all stock and wasn't the prettiest thing. But it started my love of 70 Chevelles....

I think it's fair to say that at this point, you have surpassed what anyone could imagine in 1970.
