Chevelle Summer Time Cruiser

[YoungbloodK]

Im finally on the path to finish this project. I have been changing my mind so many times on which way to take this project. I always wanted just a simple clean ride with power. Some people may have seen the old pics when i started on it. I have been through so many ups and downs and extremely busy doing other customer rides.. so i will be havin many pics of updates on it.

So this is the 72 chevelle and what i started with. The body was in alright shape I guess.

[YoungbloodK]

The interior I went with far as the buckets and rear seats are from an 05 monte carlo already ebony color. All thats going to change when i get through putting it together. First I would like to finish my suspension, brake lines and floor mods.

fitting the wheels and installed the seats. I love how the seats look alot.

[YoungbloodK]

Got the new cowl hood the old one was bent in the middle. Then did a little playing with my stripe layout.

[YoungbloodK]

Then took the front apart to smoothe the firewall and rebuild the front suspension along with my new brake setup.

[YoungbloodK]

Alright on to the front suspension got it all done and then wanted to test fit the motor with some headers I had on the shelf for some years. This 360 rat roller means business.

[YoungbloodK]

The headers came off of my 73 camaro rs I sold. I didnt think they would work on the A body. Just had to do a little mod to make room for the angled plugs. Now I got that out the way, did a little painting.

My color choice was my problem for building this car. When u paint cars yourself its so hard to choose. Sometimes u just have to buy the paint first then say since I bought it I have to continue to finish....lol.

Im going to keep it GM.... I got 2011 camaro colors....Syber Gray and Sliver Ice Metallic

[YoungbloodK]

Getting happy now..:naughty: Now painted the firewall and cut and buffed it...awsome.

[YoungbloodK]

Ill soon be getting a better camera. All these pics are from my phone. This is how far Ive gotten for now more to come soon.

Looking real good.The Wheels look massive.

[csouth]

WOW! wht size are those wheels?

[YoungbloodK]

I didnt want to go with big wheels trust me.... I got these Bonspeed sweeps on a good deal so i went with them. They are 24's and i know some ppl want like it but it will still be a very very nice crusier.

[YoungbloodK]

Today i got a chance to put the trans and motor together.. ready to go in and add all accessories.

[YoungbloodK]

Finishing up the the wholes for the seat brackets and thats one thing I can say about this car... I still caint believe it has no rusty old floors i came out lucky on this find...

[sixfivepost]

If you end up not liking the wheels, you can always sell them. Watch out for pot holes!!

[YoungbloodK]

lol... I bet at the most I would have only have time to put a few miles on it... This summer it would spend its time being hauled to shows plus I have about 10 cars I have to have ready for this event in Ga, at the Atlanta Motor Speedway called Stuntfest. This year I will have a couple of rides featured in the RIDES MAG also.... so its gone me a wonderful year hopefully.
