68 Chevelle build

Recommended Posts

well i know i havent been on the forums in many years been extremly busy with work and everything after i finally finished college and what not. long story short.

started this build back in aug, wanted to do a totally restoration but i found my self a 68 chevelle malibu with a 307, isnt worth much if i restored it. so i am going to take it to a resto mod. big block of course, either lsx 454 or 572, Ford 9 rear end, pro touring front and rear suspension, interior completely redone and new, everything in this build is home made nothing has been taken to shops or anything. doing everything by hand and my own sweet and blood into this car. I do my own welding, metal work, interior, everything you see minus a couple things. Complete frame off restoration and all new parts.

ill let the pics do more of the talking.

That is a lot of work !

congrats.

good point for the hidden system ! A car like that don't need thousands of watts and several subs in, just some good sounding speakers and a sub.

Make some nice kick panels and probably a single 10. I want more car.

Color I picked will make it stand out its self. Specially with no trim
