Sleeper......or Custom?
Man I love your Chevelle. Its perfect as is IMO, and I seriously doubt anyone would guess it runs like it does....assuming you don't pop the hood.
You've got one of the coolest cars on the internet!

I have always loved the sleeper look and am now contemplating saleing my Weld Wheels and putting my 15x8's and the 315/60's on them if they will fit. I would also put my 15x7 rally rims up front with a pair of 215/70's. I would still paint them black and if I can find them put some dog dish hubcaps on. I of course would take a scotch brite pad to them to dull them up a little. I could then sale my 4" harwood hood and put a stock SS hood on. I think it would be pretty cool to pull up to LS fest with a full factory interior, rally rims, stock hood, full exhaust and drop some mid 9's. It would only add another 50-75lbs to the total weight. I actually think the car would look better. What do you all think? Go sleeper or keep it custom?

Thanks man. I appreciate the compliment. It does have a unique look to it as is..... maybe I will just leave it.

Yeah, that is a "true sleeper." I still like some custom. My buddy thinks I should do as originally planned and put some 18's on it and run it. His thinking is it will look like it is a 12 or 13 second 1/4 mile car but run mid 9's more than likely. By definition it would still be a "sleeper"
