drop top project

[Travis B]

Here is another of the four chevelle projects we have going. This car actually has a pretty long story behind it. We bought what we believed to ba a very solid 66 Chevelle convertable of E-Bay...well needless to say it unrepairable, in fact even the frame was rusted in two and was being help together by some sheetmetal screws and sheet metal the had been blacked out on the bottom of the frame. That was just one of the many problems with the car...I should have pics of it this weekend. So we decided that we would buy a good solid coupe and make use of our convertable top and inner structure that was still good on the car....

So here is the coupe, soon to be convertable as of last night and here is the list of panels to be either replaced or removed and installed

Floor braces
Floor pans (front, rear, trunk)
Inner quarters
full qaurters
New doors
New fenders
new core support
inner fenders
so basically everything but he rockers and a-pillers

No details on the build yet as we aren't sure on power train yet, it does have some killer DPEngineering wheels on it

Damn when did you order your wheels? I'm still waiting for my wheels to come in. Ordered them on the 1st of September. They just now went to the Anodizer for the center finish.
