Default 1970 Chevelle SS - Pro Touring - TT LSx

For documenting my build... and to pass the time.

1970 Chevelle SS396 I purchased out of a field in 2012.
Missing a handful of parts... but the floor, trunk, rockers, all very very solid...



Draggin it home...


unloaded and leveled on stands...


Body Removed... lets get busy



don't need no stinkin suspension...


Fast fwd 2 years... I don't have the drive for this... DAMN YOU LIFE!!
So we`re off to Scott's Speed and Custom...


unloading...


new home for now...



I'm sure some of you are familiar with the cars Scott`s shop can build... this isnt gonna be a hacked together car.
Scott ordered body mounts, and will be hanging the quarter panel, mini tubbing the rear to fit a 335 or 345 out back, then having the body media blasted and sealed before starting bodywork.

Plans are full pro tour, mini tubbed, boxed and coated frame, coilovers, big brakes, twin turbo LSx, 6spd, and air conditioning...
