The Offical Demonic Obsidian build!

[Rantheman]

Ok So i have started an Offical Thread dedicated to my chevelle. I didn't like my last thread so I am starting over. With some same pics and new pics that you have never seen before. Very good stuff here. Stay tuned as I progress on my project. Turning her in to a Mean Pro-Touring G-machine.

Ok Now for some history. This car was bought in 1964 by my father. For reason the car sat at the coast with 40,000 miles on the clock. About 10 years ago it was given to me with many ideas in mind I spent most of my time figuring out what I wanted to do. Then I did it. The car was origionaly Tuxedo black with an light blue interior. munci 4 speed 3.08 posi 12 bolt and a 300 horse 327 4 barrel.

[muthstryker]

randy it looks good, but i will catch up eventually :) ttyl bro.

[WS6]

Looks great Randy. Where is the body? I presume the body shop getting everything done to it. Your plan sounds fantastic.

[Rantheman]

Looks great Randy. Where is the body? I presume the body shop getting everything done to it. Your plan sounds fantastic.

Well it sitting about 4 feet to the side of the frame. and I don't have the money to get it worked on. Bodywork is not my field. But I am running off to wyotech for school i figured I would hand it over and get some body work done along with a very sweet paint job

[Rantheman]

Quick Update

I will be ordering my ATS AFX Tall spindles on the 23rd of this month I am really close on finishing up my frame. Then off to the body

[nastynavy]

Wow! Looks incredible. Sounds like you started with a very rare car to begin with as well.

[Rantheman]

Quick update I ordered my ATS AFX tall spindles today so I am excited to get this car as a rolling chassis so thanks tyler for helping me out

[Rantheman]

Got my spindles today From ATS I am very happy with the quality of work and the fast and easy business this car is never going to fall apart and beable to take a lot of beating. here are pics of them roughly in Thanks tyler for the good products. I am really glad I switched from the B-body setup to this setup

[muthstryker]

P.S. diggin the 60s counter tops and stove ;)

[ROACHZ28]

Looking sharp!!

[abomb]

Looks Great! I noticed you mentioned mini tubs, did you narrow the rear frame rails yourself?

[Rantheman]

Yes I did I narrowed it 2" inboard per side

[Rantheman]

Today I ordered My AFX Steering arms should be here in a week or so

[67speedfreak]

Nice project soo far.

Chassis looks great!

[Rantheman]

thank you.

I am just trying to do it right

[Rantheman]

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2007/12/AFXSteerarm_large1-1.jpg

[Young Gun]

those are pretty sweet! great build man, keep it up!

[Rantheman]

Just letting you know tomarrow I will officialy have wheels on my chassis but they are temporary just so i can push my frame around cuz 15's won't fit over my 13" brakes

[Rantheman]

well I promised picks of her on the ground actualy with the crappy 14" wheels makes the frame look weird to me.

[Rantheman]

All right I have an update my Steering arms are on back order no idea when I will be getting those but I decided to put the body on for transportation when i go to school. So here are some pictures the body is just sitting there not bolted down yet. But it looks more like a car than it has in a while. Enjoy!!

[Young Gun]

[curly]

fun build to follow!

I agree (especially since I can hopefully adapt this into my future '64)! Keep up the good work and updates!

[Rantheman]

I have not had an update for quite sometime. But I am at school now and have looked over some of my friends skills. I will be heading back to my home town to pick up my chevelle to transport to wyoming to do bodywork and a show room paint job I am then going to build a roll bar into the vehicle so this summer you will be seeing some nice updates.

[BLWN1]

So who got the plymouth behind it in the 1st pic?

[Rantheman]

So who got the plymouth behind it in the 1st pic?

That was my grandfathers in the 60's so i have no idea what happened to it.

[79_GBody]

I'm guessing you're a student at WyoTech?

[Rantheman]

That would be correct some people don't like me being a wyotech student but I have a full ride

[79_GBody]

I'm one too...Blairsville campus. I'm a little older than all of the older students though.

[muthstryker]

whats wrong with being a wyotech student?

[TitoJones]

Are you at the Laramie campus?

That's where I got my Degree. Oh how I don't miss it there.

Tyler

[79_GBody]

I don't know about the Laramie campus but the one in Blairsville has to be the most boring place on earth. But as far as school itself, it is what you make it.

[Rantheman]

Are you at the Laramie campus?

That's where I got my Degree. Oh how I don't miss it there.

Tyler

oh good laramie is were I am so that means i can come work for you when I am done right:) But I won't miss the wheather here I can tell you that

[Rantheman]

I'm one too...Blairsville campus. I'm a little older than all of the older students though.

I know what you mean I am pretty much the oldest student here and i am only 24. I am currently in Management and then taking Auto, Chassis fab, High performance engines and light duty diesels.

[79_GBody]

I know what you mean I am pretty much the oldest student here and i am only 24. I am currently in Management and then taking Auto, Chassis fab, High performance engines and light duty diesels.

Yup 27 here, but there are a couple old retired guys around here so I'm not the oldest. I've taken Collision/Refinishing, Trim & Upholstery, Street Rod and now I'm in Chassis Fab, but I still got ASM left. But enough about wyotech, get back to work on the car.

[cbrown]

Can you give me more details on how you did the rear frame narrowing? I want to do the same thing to my 65 lemans wagon.

[Rantheman]

I finnaly have an update my chevelle was moved to wyoming since I am going to school I bought a car cover from Wolf products since the car is not in a full garage. today I also bought trunk floor panels,summit prop block, and new tie rod sleeves so hopfully soon you will start seeing some floor pan installs.

[Rantheman]
