Newbie w/ 70 Chevelle SS

[7TSS]

Aloha,

I've been lurking for a long time and finally decided to post up. I'm from Honolulu, Hawaii and have had my Chevelle for a little over 10 yrs now. Decided to freshen the looks and performance.

Carter Hickman did a rendering of what it should look like when done.

I've been working on the car for about a year now. Parts include 509 BBC, ATS spindles, Baer brakes, 18" Forgelines w/ Nitto rubber, Varishocks, Stainless Exhaust, Glasstek cowl hood, Fab 9 Rear, UMI and Edelbrock rear trailing arms, Rick's stainless tank, and a new Viper Red paint job. Majority of the work is being done in my garage.

This site has been a great source of information. Looking forward to being a part of the pro touring community.

I may be a huge Pontiac fan, but there is just something sweet about a nicely done 70 Chevelle. You have an excellent example. Welcome to the site.

Me too. However, my favorite year Chevelle! Very nice...

Sweet lookin' Chevelle!

When I bought the '72 442 I'm working on, there was a '70 Chevelle 'vert for sale in the carport next door to the Olds. Both were around the same price, and I walked back and forth many times before I decided on which one I wanted.

One more thing, thanks for a sweet pic for my screen saver!

Shiny Side Up!

Thanks for the welcome. After seeing some of the nice builds on this site I hope learn a lot here. I'm a fan of all muscle cars and am glad others feel the same.

Since this has been an ongoing project I have a few pics to post. (I'll probably start a new post in Project Updates later)

Before I found my challenger, that is the exact car that I wanted. Same year, color combo, everything. Problem was, I couldnt find one at a reasonable price. Glad to see someone is doing one up right.

Cant wait to see the finished product!

Thanks for the compliments. Glad you like it.

The wheels on the car in the second pics are 18" x 8" Front and 18" x 9.5" rears.

The new Forgelines are same in the front with 18" x 10" rears.
