Default 1971 Chevelle project (The Awakening)

In September 2006 I bought my 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle



It was faraway from it´s Glory Days

it was paint red sometime after 1980

in October 2007 I got a 4 Wheel Disc Brake Conversion from http://www.mattsclassicbowties.com/

wow that's a lot of panel replacement. I guess you don't have much to chose from over there though do you? How hard would it be to say buy a car in England and ship it over? Just curious. Thanks for posting the pics

Brother, I hope you have a heated garage because it looks like you are gonna be working in it for a little while. What's that white stuff all over your driveway outside? That's great to see someone who would put that much time and money into an American musclecar when I know what it's like to buy and ship parts overseas and the headaches that can follow (I used to sell speed parts to British customers). Keep the pictures flowing once you start repaneling.
