New project 66 Chevelle

[class67]

Bought this back in August and going with a frame up rebuild. It started out as a 350, 4 spd car wit a 12 bolt in it. I have already sold the stock frame and I am trying to decide which or who's frame I will go with right now, but it's going to have an LS3, most likely a 6L80 trans, 9" rear, after market frame, Wilwood, Ridetech coil overs, Vintage Air, Dakota Digital etc.... I have the body off and it has been blasted / primed and mini tubs are already installed. Going to start the exterior body work very soon (pics to follow).

Nice. Following.

[class67]

The frame showed up today!! but the front brake kit is backordered for a couple of weeks, so I will assemble the rear end and install the brakes, then I want to set the body on the frame and make any necessary floor adjustments...

Thanks, I had Scotts Hot Rods out of SoCal build it for me.

[Shortacus]

Very nice doing a 67 chevelle I'll be following for ideas for sure!

[class67]

Brakes are on front and rear (without calipers due to not having wheels big enough to handle them yet) and it's in rolling form. I borrowed an older LS truck motor from a mechanic friend, just for test fitting the body on the frame. We set the body on last weekend (half assed) and it looks like the only cutting I may have to do is in the trunk hump area and possibly a little at the front of the tunnel. I'll be doing the cutting tomorrow to see how it goes. Judging from how it sets on the frame right now, I can tell already that this thing is going to be pretty damn low. more pics to follow later this weekend, if all goes as planned.

NICE build! Love the 66-67's...Keep up the great work!

[I_make_oil]

Nice! Can't wait to see it on the frame.

[class67]

The body is on the frame, finally! not an easy task this weekend, there was a lot of trimming I had to do in the trunk, the tunnel, underneath at a few places due to clearance issues etc... I had to take a lot more of the tunnel out than I had originally thought, but that's all part of it I guess. the new frame fits pretty well, tight fit, but a good fit. Does anybody else ask themselves why they start projects like this, or is just me? :screwy:

Nice job, and to answer your question Every Day!

[Pt109]

great build. you are light years ahead of me. I havent asked myself that question thus far, as it had been great therapy for me and is a new challenge for me... but that thought has been there many time on other things i have done. enjoy it!!

[Zoomin]

I would check your steering column angle to see how it lines up before you get too much farther along, specifically how you get around the engine mount and up the firewall.

[LSXZ28]

Awesome car - can't wait to see more!

[class67]

It's been a while and progress has been slow, but we are now starting to pick up the pace. Been welding up the rear trunk area where I had to cut it out for the suspension cross member, as well as the trans tunnel. Now moving on to body work...finally!

Still in paint jail, but I see the end in sight. Hopefully within the next month it'll be in color. down to the last prime and ready to wet sand before paint.

[keepat]

Very cool!

[class67]

Got the Lizard Skin sound deadener and insulation sprayed in the interior this weekend and then painted it with a semi gloss just to give it a little sheen...stuff made quite a difference. We also sprayed the bottom of the care with a semi gloss black, came out really clean looking, pic to follow later of that.
