5 year project 70 chevelle

[chevelle1970]

I never post much so i dont imagine anyone will see this. but I have been working on this project for over 5 years and I was hoping to gets some feed back. If you look in my signature you can see what the car looked like when it was done in 2009. I put about 5000 Miles's on it and then started over in 2011. Hopefully the car will give me lots of trouble free smiles per mile. Anyway it's almost done I just need to get the rid height right and some larger tires and wheels as soon as I find a good tire and wheel guy. There's a link to a youtube video please take a look and don't be afraid to say what you think.
There are so meny sick rides and talented builders on here I did the best I could to plan out this build.

Killer job! love everything about it,, blue and white i timeless, will look good and always be desirable,, having a LS set up never hurts either.. good job and enjoy your 5 years of hard work, go smoke them tires....

WOW! Beautiful job, Keith!
Andrew said what I was going say, but shiny is an understatement; That is allot of smoothing and detail!!
Are those TMI or Legendary bolstered seats?
How thick is the aluminum on your subwoofer enclosure, I've never seen that. How does it sound?
So how come you put the rocker trim on (SuperSports are not supposed to have 'em)?

[chevelle1970]

Zanie, those are TMI bolsters, there seat foam the covers are custom stitched from material roll that I purchased from Legendary with the door panels and all the other interior parts. We wanted to make sure we got a good match on the peral wich can be difficult at times if you purchase stuff from different suppliers.

The rocker trim now that is a very interesting question. As you know earlier model chevelle SS cars had a lower molding not a rocker molding but a lower molding. There are a ton of Chevelle guys out there that will tell you and believe that they have proof that some 70 Chevelle SS cars did come with rocker moldings. Stories of half year avaliable option out of Kansis city, Stories and pictures of cars with the moldings in 1970, the uncles car or what ever. I'm with you never happened however for as meny Hot rodders that were pullin the chrome off some people wanted and like chrome and were accustomed to it on early cars. The pictures and stories are because a number of dealers installed the moldings on cars for stock and for customers especially in the mid south. Or so all the stories go acording to everthing that i have read on the subject. I'm just like all those old guys back in those days I just like it. Not to much just a little chrome is still cool to me as a matter of fact the wheel lip moldings and rocker moldings didn't shin enough for my tast so yes they were chromed. No matter how hard I try I just can't get hip LMAO everybody else is doing black and I'm 15 years behind with shinny, I like old blues music too what can I say I'm a mess. Haha.

As for the sub box everyone that's herd it says its dead as sh*t and sounds good. It sounds ok I guess, and I did it just to be different polished brackets and sub box you said I didn't never seen that before so we had to do it. The plate is about 3/16 thick here is another pic.
Thanks Zamie for lookin at my car it's nice to share.

Knight are I'm glad you like the blue filters we were not sure about that whole intake assembly it was supposed to be temporarary the filter were some stuff we had layin around for years for another project they were blue so what the hay. We had planed on running the intake all the way down to the bottom of the car and doing a cold air intake, but who knows maybe the current setup will grow on us.

Thanks SDS Mechining I hear ya It's winter in Michigan and I haven't got to smoke any tires in months, I can't wait I can smell it mmmmm. Love the smell of rosin tires.

Thanks again guys and happy Hot Roddin for sure.
