possibly inner fenders if they are good . I don't need an engine or trans . Its plenty stout made 500 on the dyno and is backed by a built 400 turbo with a 3500 stall . thanks for asking ..

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 
Nice work Bob. Are you going to pull the body off and blast and paint the frame when you're done with rust repair?

Bob 68327 06-05-2014 05:34 PM

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 
Yes all new stainless lines, tubular control arms , disc brakes, ect.

Bob, you're getting closer!

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 
Great job so far, I'm surprised to see the aftermarket parts look like they fit really well. Guess the Chevelle parts are made much better than the after market body parts tir our trucks

Bob 68327 07-01-2014 05:49 PM

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 
I didn't show you all the beating and forming .. I have been doing sheetmetal work for about 23 years . The goodmark stuff fits pretty good but not great..

Bob 68327 07-01-2014 07:27 PM

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 
I'm determined to save it !! Its going to be nice someday soon I hope !!

Dieselwrencher 07-11-2014 11:18 AM

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 
That should definitely help in the motivation situation! It looks great Bob!

Bob 68327 07-11-2014 05:04 PM

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
 
Thanks Ryan . I have been working about 75 hours a week between work and my shop on customer cars to fund the chevelle . Been working on mine in between cars . Starting to get excited now that its coming together.
