Default Supercharged '72 Chevelle Build

This car is in the early stages. The body was primed and set onto casters. Inside sheet metal is being finished up with a mini tub. The new frame is about to go back under the car. Oh, and it will be getting a supercharged LS of coarse.

Nothing like a blown LS! This should be a pants full of fun. Mine has a Magnacharger.

Nice start. I don't think I've seen an LSA swap yet. In for the build.


It looks like the rear tire is directional and on the wrong side in the first picture.

I busted a nut as soon as I opened this tread, is that Photoshopped?

I believe the guy we use has actually developed his own 3d rendering software. He may use some photoshop for parts of it though..

I can keep it solely about this one build if you guys want, but I also have a couple other Chevelle's going in the shop and can throw in updates and pics for those as well.

Like these.. Its a '68 Convertible that's getting a Supercharged LQ9 .
