Everything has been done except the body...?

Or it took a year for the bodywork to be done?

Either way, the body looks good to me!!

I need waaaaay more tire....LOL. But couldn't quite afford the mini tub and roll cage yet. One day though....! About a year on the car. The body hasn't been done yet...by me. But I build more as a driver than a looker. No trailer queen here.👌🏼👍🏼

Body looks pretty damn good to me from the pictures.

That is well past a nice driver where I come from.

Thank you. 967hp at the flywheel. Trans is a 4L80 with reverse manual valve body. Rear is a currie 9" with 3:73's. At 70 mph she turns 2200rpm.

Sweet! Limited slip? Have you ran the car down a track?

Oh that takes me back, that was pretty much the color of my 69 when I got it at 15 years old way back when. Fathom blue with white stripes, just a naturally aspirated iron head small block, not a monster like that, but it moves ok :thumbup: Definitely no trailer queen, just a respectable street car, would kill for overdrive on the freeways though, 28" tire with 3.91 gears in mine, turbo 400 4k stall.

Nice car, great job on the details. Very clean ! Love the Chevelles, I have a 67 myself. Enjoy the car, you did a real nice job on it.
