70 Chevelle-Project Bullet LS3

[AZSaleen04]

The project is coming together beautifully, Mike. It looks exactly like the rendering! Thanks for the trust!

I appreciate you Jason as you walked me through every step to ensure we matched your vision. Couldn't be happier with the finished product.

Thank you!

This is both amazing and inspiring! Looking FANTASTIC!

I'm in the middle of a '69 LS3 PT build as well. Funds dictate a 4 phase approach so my build is a little more budget than yours. Brakes/Suspension/chassis were done earlier this year, now we're frame off and putting in the LS3 376/525. Unfortunately, when you do little by little, you don't really plan ahead well, so we ended up with a Jake's Transmissions built 4l80E that I love, but really wished I would have put in a T-56 with this engine.

It's amazing how many little things pop up that you didn't expect. My old 2 1/2 exhaust will have to be replaced since the way it was worked over the rearend didn't allow enough room for Ricks Tank (even with corners clipped). Good time to switch to 3" full mandrel bend with X cross and electronic cutovers!

We're still having a heck of a time finding an accessory drive that will fit with the Lee Steering box. What did you use? I don't think I read it in your earlier posts.

[Chevelle LT1]

Since I see this car across the street from me, I can tell you that he went with the Grand Cherokee Saginaw box, and the Corvette accessory drive setup (I actually have the same setup on my car, also)

I sent a pm but answered my own questions....sounds like a lot of u in the phx area....definitely need to plan a pavilions night to meet when it cools down. Great looking project man!!

[AZSaleen04]

Sorry for the delay and Chevelle LT1 is right on. He is the one that told me about it. I share your pain and frustration as we have all gone through this. The price tag has just kept escalating out of control.

When we do finish the cars that will be a good goal to shoot for.

A few more updated pictures.

Looks good, I like how the lighter color follows the tops of the doors.

I went all though the thread and found the wheel size but didn't see the tire sizes.

[AZSaleen04]

It's been a while... The rears are 295/35/20 and the fronts I believe were 265/40/19.

I can double check next time I see the car.

Couldn't agree more!!
