Don't worry bro and don't rush it. Take your time and do it right. Not to thread jack, but look at my IRS frame that just got completed in February for my 72 Chevelle. Topped off with Ridetech triple adjustable coilovers and custom billet C6 Corvette spindles. The last pic is the frame being test fitted to the body. We've already began the fab work on the trunk.

Re: Chevelle SS of a new ERA!

So over the last little while I picked up a basically rust free shell from a friend with doors and truckload. Doors were fully loaded and the shell is amazing. Just a little bit of rust around the wheel wells. Got it for 400. It is amazing. I also picked up a 5.3 with all accessories and harness for 500. Then picked up the gto engine mounts, oilman, and stock exhaust manifolds for 300. We decided to build just a really nice driver that sounds awesome mbut it should be within reach for our budget. So as of now we need the bumpers. Taillights and rear taillight valances. Front grille surround, headlight surrounds and rad support. Coming along nicely I think!

Re: Chevelle SS of a new ERA!

That new shell is very clean looking... I gotta be honest here as I was really wanting to see ya work the old one into shape with your metal skills.. However I do understand the time and money saved with a clean shell..

Re: Chevelle SS of a new ERA!

I can not deny you that. There would have been some metal magic with that last shell. But up here it is so hard to find one that is clean. I have never seen one this nice. Besides, I have some serious metal magic ideas for this car anyway. Besides goin over the gto, I believe a tilt hood, shaved but not shaved doors, a minor haircut possibly custom bumpers and side skirts plus more. Just means I get to spend more time doing some cool stuff. So as of right now I have this shell and havoc sitting side by side at a friends. All good

Re: Chevelle SS of a new ERA!

Congrats bro on the sweet find with that body. What year bumpers are you looking for? I found NOS front and rear bumpers for mine, so I may have the others off of mine for sale. The are repops in excellent condition. They are 71-72 bumpers.

It really was a great deal! And thanks. I may not have a ton of money to spend on my vehicles anymore with the family. But what I can do is create something unique and Cool. Most ppl can appreciate that.

Re: Chevelle SS of a new ERA!

Re: Chevelle SS of a new ERA!

Going to be a cool car . Not to pick but unless you have the build sheet I would say that is a Malibu just like mine was . No 70-72 SS cars had rocker moulding . It's impossible to tell a SS car without the build sheet there's nothing on trim tag that tells.
