[Fesler built]

We are getting ready to finish up another project its a 1970 Chevelle SS that is going to be a very custom but stock looking build. We have 19-inch Fesler FS 907 Wheels all the way around, Fesler Billet hood hinges, Fesler Billet Tail Lights, Fesler SS strickers, Fesler carbon Fiber door panels and Fesler emblems, Air Ride suspension, GM LS-7 Engine and 6 speed tranny, Currie rear end, Recaro, Kicker and a full custom metal dash. Wait till you see the pictrues of this.

Here they come and I will try to update it everyday.

Where are they!?

[Fesler built]

OK here they come,

First we brought the car in checked everything over and sent it out to be stripped. Check out the huge dent all the way down the passenger side and they said this was ready for paint. So we sealed the metal and now the fun begines.

THE DASH:

Here is the part I think all of you are going to really like, to make things a little different we took the stock dash and redesigned it out of metal, it still has the factory dash pad and will look factory but check out what we did.

First we have to build a metal template that will house the dash so its removable, thats right not only did we build a cool metal dash but we built it so its removeable so it would be easy to paint.

Working on the gauge cluster now, we are going to keep it stock looking but it will house way more than the factory one did. We will have a double din Pioneer DVD, Air Ride Control, Dakota Digital AC Control and Auto Meter gauges to go with the the theme of the car.

I will post some shots of the tail lights very soon we are doing final fitment now and want to be sure they are ready to ship once I show them off. Thanks

[TonyL]

My god. If I ever win the lottery or get rich some way. Im so bringing you guys my car. That's some cool fabrication work right there.

[tom_a]

Awesome. How many hours in the dash alone?

[InMotionJosh]

How come some of the pictures show a custom chasssi with rack and pinion and some show a stock chassis?

[mach1stang]

The custom one was maybe getting getting powder coated, so the stocker was used to roll it around.

[Chevrolaine]

Fantastic!!!!

[The WidowMaker]

good catch on the chassis.... why is that?

looks awesome!!! im glad someone beat me to the exhaust bezels. ive never seen them on an a body before and i wasnt sure how theyd look.

[slownova]

my guess is the cars farther along then the pics are showing and hes only adding so many. you can see this car in the backround of some of thier posts.

[InMotionJosh]

Im wondering if they used the custom chassis that might be for another project while the stocker was being sand blasted or something. All the mock up of the motor and suspension shows the factory chassis

[protouring70]

And you think you have seen it all......and then they come out with something else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fesler built]

Awesome. How many hours in the dash alone?

2 weeks with everything but as you can see its straight there is no body work on it yet.

[Fesler built]

Good catch, it was there when we got the car the last shop ordered a Art Morisson Chassie for it, let me tell you a very nice part but the guy that ordered it did not know what he was doing and ordered it wrong. We would have had to rebuild the complete frame to get it under this car and the owner just wants to get it done.

Yeah the shop we got the car from had no clue on what they were ordering and if it would all work together so we had to sell alot of stuff. Only good thing was that its all name brand high end stuff so we got almost what was paif for it. Client is happy and car will be sick when done as you can see.

you dont have to name the shop, but was it somebody local?

I know that the Morrison chassis isn't a direct bolt on deal. Did the owner want to keep the original floorpan?

if you look at the center there are two holes the one close to the dash will be gone once we get ready for paint.

We can build any style dash you might like. Just need to know what you like and how much you want to spend.

Love the dash, looks factory. I'd defently consider it when I start on my other 70 Chevelle

[vp23271]

Beautiful!

....and how much you want to spend.

I do believe those are the key words right there. I think mere mortals would faint at the sight of the invoice for that dash.

I agree when I told the customer how much it took a few minutes to get past that and say OK lets do it because I want something different.

Got any updates & pics?

[ponjohn]

Is it required on all A-bodies to create that recess in the firewall? ( for an lSx swap)

[The WidowMaker]

no recess needed. i actually moved my motor 2" back and havent modified the firewall other than smoothing it.

Tim

[andrewb70]

While a recess is not needed to fit the engine in the car, I would be worried about future maintenance work. In my GTO the engine is in the factory location. I've had to remove the transmission to do some service work and I can tell you that when the engine tips down in the rear, it gets very close to the firewall. If the engine was to be moved back 2" without adding room at the firewall, there will be problems when the time comes to pull the transmission.

Nice work Fesler crew!

Andrew

[Hellbound]

does anyone have or seen a chevelle with dip rails removed??

good point andrew.... that will be something to look forward to.

Any up dates to this car, pictures of the dash? How close are you for the dash insert? can wait hurry please.

[protour_chevelle]

man is that dash sexy. Curious to know how much it would cost for a insert to fit the 70-72 sweeper dash??

even just a nice blank insert to allow guys to do what they want would be kick ass!

[pmgm]

Simply amazing!!! You guys do great work, Wow!!

[acegto]

[73supreme455]

[1nkred1ble]

arggggg

[Fesler built]

arggggg
i want that dash!!!


That dash is very expensive, almost $10K its all hand fabricated steel and took two weeks to build. We are working on an insert right now that will be Carbon fiber with Anvil. I will get you updates as soon as its ready to go or we get closer.

[1nkred1ble]

i was just on your site, and saw the digital insert, i liked that one as well, but i will wait for your carbon fiber version to come out and make my decision then, please ignore all the negativity from ppl who don't appreciated what you guys are doing over there, i visit your site every day just to browse and plan my resto. i love your products please keep up the good work.

Tape the car, marker and use a cutoff wheel, take your time and go very slow you will get a perfect cut. measure twice cut once

[1nkred1ble]

specs on the engine???
what color are you planning on painting the car?
and my dumb question of the month, why in your opinion is it better to go with the air setup then a adjustable coil overs or springs???
and one more thing hows that carbon fiber dash insert coming along?

[540' chevelle]

Any news on the dash insert? Any more pictures?

[KlasSic68]

Car is looking sic, that dash is amazing too. You guys do awesome work, can wait to see this thing finished.

LS7 with a 6 speed should be fun, the car is black and we are putting it together now. As for the air ride its just nice because you can adjust the car for driving, racing, in and out of trailer, speed bumps with a touch of a button. I have been doing air for over 20 years now and love it. I have done coil over but for the way I drive and set the cars up air is just better.

[Fesler built]

We are back on the dash now and will have something very soon

[Fesler built]

I will post some pics up this week, we have it out of paint and are doing the assembly now, frame is all done and engine is in. Looks sick

[mach1stang]

It's one thing to have a car that looks good when it's all painted, but when you build a car that looks good in pee stain yellow primer your doing somthing right!

Wow Cris this is outstanding. Will you be making the billet chevelle you have on the FRC's? also I like the remote control mount.

I was thinking of doing my front and rear bumpers brush but thought they would not look good. Thanks for the pics, as they really do look good. I am not much or a chrome guy.

These bumpers are very expensive to do, first you work the bumpers out and then get them copper plated, work them out more and add the Nickle, this is where you have to brush and get them perfect and once you have them looking the way you want them you chrome them to protect the brushing. So in a way these are chrome bumpers with the nickle and copper under brushed. Better look and will last forever.

We did all the metal on this car way. Takes a lot of time but very expensive to do because of all the time it takes to prep them.

[Cano]

desing prowess. Here are the two details that strike me the most. First, the exhaust outlets have the same form as the taillights (which btw are awesome too). And the door panels, that's the really, really good one. It matches the design of the side window openings, only upside down. you can't imagine how much harmony this brings to the interior.

very very mean car. The only thing I dont really like are the wheels, but I can see why you chose them, they lend continuity to the overall design of the car. Another spoke pattern might have won me over, but the thing is outstanding.

Brushed chrome = win.

Nice going, Fesler.

The car looks amazing. Perfect stance and wheel choice especially when paired with the bumpers. I missed the brushed finish my first trip through, but I opened the thread back up to have another look and I think that is a nice detail that makes the car look very complete and thought out.

what are you guys using for an undercoating?

[540' chevelle]

Do you have a dash insert like the one this car has? That is the best looking gauge set-up I have seen. How much?

[540' chevelle]

Any thing on the dash? I think that is a area on chevelles that is missing a good dash with 5" gauges like what is avalible for the 69
something made out of steel or aluminum. i would be all over it.

[540' chevelle]

Are you making the radiator front grill cover and if so how much?
that is just perfect. the hardware just sets it off.

[John McIntire]

How about the front grill trim also?

Chris -

1st of all, beautiful car, gives me something to shoot for if/when I get back on my '70. I also like the fact that someone has finally done something with those plastic taillight housings, are you selling these now? Also, love the smooth sides without side markers and the bumpers are killer! Just curious, did you guys talk about closing in the slots in the rear bumper that were used with the original jack assembly? Not picking the car apart at all, just curious, looks awesome at any rate!

[1971CHEVELLE]

The car looks awesome :1st:

[540' chevelle]

Car is For Sale,,,,,, Look at it in the For Sale section for 275k

[senor_camaro]

for sure thats a sick chevelle

[72elco]

Where can I pick up a dash like that? Is it a full custom job? Only thing Ive seen close to it (doesnt really compare) is the Covan dash...
any thoughts??

[jknight16]

He said somewhere in this thread that it cost $10k+ to build that dash. Get out the AMEX!
