1965 Chevelle Project!

[Rantheman]

I Don't have a project name for it but I do have info and pics on it. This is my 1965 chevelle I got from my father he bought it brand new in 1964 so it sat at the coast for 30 years for reasons but that just means I have a lot of work to do. so here is the frame I welded some gussets for the front LCA for streng in the rear I did some boxing and moved the frame Rails in 2.25 inched for my mini tub.

Then figured it was time to get that rear end together now from my mini tubb I also had to cut the rear end down and did it successfuly. My rear end contains richmond 4.10 gears,eaton 3 seiries posi,moser 30 spline alloy axles,ratech install kit, toped with a moser 1350 yoke

After the rear end was completed I decided next was to pay attention to the front end. On the rear I only lacked brakes but the front I already had most parts sitting around which are

Global west upper arms
Global west lower arms
Hotchkis 1 3/8 sway bar
AGR quick ratio steering box
all new steering.
B-Body spindles
Eibach springs
kyb shocks

now for the last part of my progress The rear brake are on but I have no money right now to put front brakes on and wheels and tires all around. I got the body in the garage and started taking out the bad parts and going to also finish up my mini tubb.
