I'm still alive.... Just figured I'd say hi and update all on my new project.
Got a 70 Chevelle that will be a ProTouring project. Got the body off the frame a couple weeks ago and am about to have it blasted, then notch the rear frame rails (19x12's out back), and have it powdercoated. So it's a big project ahead of me. Here's the plans...
Powerplant/Drivetrain:
Twin Turboed LS2
T56
9 inch w/ 4.56's
Wheels/Brakes:
C6 Z06 wheels in HyperBlack (like a tinted chrome)
C6 Z06 brakes w/ full ABS
Suspension:
Airbags
Remove upper control arms and add a F-Body Torque Arm
Extended tubular A-arms
ATS AFX spindles (2.9lbs, C5/C6 sealed hub, ABS hookups, and C5/C6 brake mounts....VERY nice piece!)
Interior:
SS Dash w/ Autometers
Stock buckets covered in black leather w/ original style grain/stitching
Misc pieces wrapped in carbon fiber
Exterior:
C6 LeMans blue
SS stripes done w/ carbon fiber (lay carbon down first)
SS hood
Z06 style LSX badges
So basically just another Chevelle...

Sounds like a bad a$$ project.
I'm selling my formula to build a PT 68 Camaro.
I'm going with an LS1 with probably a Kenne Bell Supercharger
I've been doing some research, and you might want to look into a decoupled torque arm.
I'm also planning on having abs and traction control in mine.
Do you visit pro-touring.com?

No, I can only do small stuff. I use an old kitchen oven, so if it doesn't fit in there, I can't do it.
I know there are several powdercoating companies around.
You might want to look at getting it blasted, and then maybe use POR on it....I've heard that stuff is good, and you can do it yourself.
