Well it can go a lot faster, but it has been in stages. The Big block that was in it was a POS and and a total dog. Tim had just finished replaciing both rear quarter panels and although it doesn't look like it the paint that is on the car is just about perfect etc... And after talking to the guy he asked what we would charge for updating the car etc..., and so I put together some estimates on the drive train for his goals, and Tim the body work which he doesn't generally do restoration type work, but agreed to do this for this guy who is wasn't stingy with his money as long as it is done right etc... I would guess from start to finish about 6-8 months maybe less depeding on the donor car and what you do motor wise if you build a motor you have to account for the machine shops time to build vs buying a stock take out etc...
Jeff
Thanks for the compliments guys. Hey Matt How have you been? Hope the family and all is doing good!

What motor mounts did you use on the Chevelle? What headers? Looks like you didn't have to section the tunnel to fit the T56?

That is a tunnel out of a late model camaro. Headman headers and bought the motor mounts welded them to the crossmember.

Very interesting projects Jeff. I've got a buddy with a 72 Chevelle who would drool over that one you got going on. The 67 is more my speed though. Very sharp.

Let me know when you guys get a little free time, I'd love to come see these in person.
