Finally! My Chevelle, finished. *Pics*

[KrisHorton]

Hey folks, at long last after every trial and hardship imaginable, the Chevelle lives and breathes!

It has been a long journey with a lot of setbacks and problems. Plenty of blood, sweat, and tears have gone into it, as with any personal project. But just over a year into our frame-off build that started and ended in our 3 car garage, it's finished. Well, it's complete. It'll never be finished, finished.

In fact, next step will be a trip back to the body shop. The car is going to SEMA again this year, but this time, the body will be perfect and we will be able to drive it in. As some of you know, the body work done on the car was sub-par and the paint has some flaws, so we will be getting the body and paint straightened out over the summer.

But for now, me and my dad are able to stand back from it and say "there she is. Done."

I'll be giving a better account of how it runs and drives soon, but we are still tuning it a little bit and making sure there are no bugs. But I can say this, it sounds amazing and from the little we've seen, will have plenty of power. My dad lit the tires by just blipping the throttle...so it should be fun!

Anyway, enough talk, here are the pics!

Sometimes you see a car that just has the "look", where nothing stands out, it just all works together. You nailed it dude. Very nice.

[Bill Howell]

Really looks great Kris. Now figure out how you can get it to the show here so I can really check it out :naughty:

[KrisHorton]

Hey guys, the pics aren't as great as I wanted them to be, but here is the engine and some fuel pump/tank pics.

Now, before I post the rest of this, I'd like to say I'd never presume to even dream of improving on your vision Kris, but since I've been having fun with photoshop lowering cars and changing wheels and the like, I thought I'd see what I could do with your Chevelle... Take a look, I hope you like it...

Lol. Looks like you changed more than the wheels. I would classify that as a rat rod with a bent rear axle.

Kris,
Again-great job

I've had a picture of that car saved to my hard drive at work since November. I wondered when we were going to get to see more pictures of it.

Nice job. You're right though, the 71's and 72's don't get the credit they deserve and yours is a shining example of their potential.

[parsonsj]

Very nice! Congratulations on having a running ride.

I just don't think I could come up with the words to describe it! It's awesome and that is just the begining! You have done an excellent job and I would be just in ahh to have a piece of work of that calibure.
I want to know how you fit those wheels and tires under the back? In the past you told me the sizes but I can't remember. would you refresh my mind.
Thanks Brent
