Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

Nice! Im dieing for a 66-67!

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

Love the 72, now give us the info! What's the plan?

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

I would kill for a 67 or maybe a 64.Never really liked the 66 68 or 69 though.

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

72 is the last good year in my opinion. 307,350 or 400 motor?

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

Cool project!
My first car was a '71 Chevelle.

How's the progress on your truck?
I was hoping to see it at Des Moines.

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

Thaks for the kind words guys I will make something nice out of it . It's gonna take some time but worth it . It's currently a 307 auto . It's going in my truck and my roller motor and trans will go in the chevelle . I can't keep both so the truck has to go ......Kinda crazy I just finished the suspension work on the truck and this guy finally decided to sell the chevelle to me . So someone will get a nice project to finish .

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

don't you dare sell that truck! you will regret it. ive been down that road and i'm still taking it. anyway i got a set of 15x7 vette rally wheels that need restored for the chevelle

Love it!! My first car was a 71 swapped the 307 for a 327. To this day I am one of my few people at a car show amongst my friends who knows the difference between a 71 and a 72 (blinker lights and slight grill change) oh and I believe they started the heavy chevy thing. Very nice. Have fun.

No choice the truck has to go to pay for the chevelle resto . I will be putting my weld draglites on the chevelle unless I find a set of factory ss wheels .

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

Here's the direction i'm heading except the wheels they will be weld draglites..

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

i love that truck DONT SELL IT!

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

It could be yours and i will sell it .. No choice need money for the Chevelle...

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

Got the first new part a little out of order but i scored a brand new Goodmark cowl hood for $200 So I jumped on It ..... Happy Day for ME!!!!!

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

Looks like she needs a few parts but Im sure it will look pretty sweet by the time you are done with it..

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

well the truck sold so the Chevelle is now inside so the teardown has begun . Here are a couple of pics sorry crappy cell phone shots I will get some better ones tomorrow. Enjoy.

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

I like it! I have a 72 chevelle same color and about the same shape as yours that i am going build for my wife in future.

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

I just picked this 4dr up for parts for 600 bux. Has a 350, motor runs good and trans shifts good. I need drivetrain and front clip off it for mine. If you need something small let me know, I may have it.

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

Got the interior out today and floorpans look better than expected just need a couple small patches . Slow progress but progress.......;)

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

Looking at those floor pans I would say getting the interior out was huge progress. One less part to cut out and weld in.

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

Looks like you have a good start there. I used to have a 1970 Chevelle Nomad, red with a saddle interior. I sold it to my dad but he hardly drives it anymore, and do you think he will sell it back to me?...NOPE! Anyway good luck and keep us up to speed. Joseph

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

Subscribing, Love the car and the direction you are going with the Chevelle, are you intending to drag this car, is that why you are going with the Draglite wheels?

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

It looks like a nice solid start. What are your plans for color and interior?

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

The cleaness of tha floor pan is pleasant suprise campared to tha out side..i love these cars..

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

Black on black with white stripes.

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

It will look like this when it's done..

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

I like it a lot. :metal:

I've always loved those wheels too, to bad they aren't made in a 5x5 bolt pattern.:waah:

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

I don't know if you got the wheels for your car yet, but there is a set listed on cl not too far from you. Closer to me, but still not too far.

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

I have a brand new set of weld draglites that are going on my car so it will look a little different than the picture..

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

Bob, I hope you enjoyed sitting in it before oyu took it apart. The long hard road extends before you'll be turning the key sitting there again! :lol: You'll get it though.

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

Wish i could start a project, but i wouldnt have the money. i really want a 67-69 camaro. bump for a great start to a nice chevelle

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

Yup drove it up and down the driveway a few times with the old 307 in it ... It will be a totally different kinda of monster the next time I drive it ;) going to pick up the new body parts for it this weekend:metal:

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

OOOO AAAHHH, Love me an A body! Just saw a White w/black stripe, SS454 this past weekend. Not sure if it was real but left me droolin! There is an ol' lady in town that drives that car, color and all, baldy hub caps and straight looking from across the intersection.

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 

Good day!!! Bought a truck load of sheetmetal .... Full Quarters,Doors,Fenders,Decklid,Radiator support,and trunk floor. this should keep me busy for the next 2 years... Second pic is the radiator support and front fenders mocked up .. I'm starting to get excited....;)

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
