1969 Chevelle "Cone Smasher"

[WallaceMFG]

I started reading your build thread and got to page 4 and the pictures are not showing anymore. Thanks photobucket for screwing that up, lol

Yup, that's about where I ran out of storage on the forum and went to PB for storage. I've moved some of my other forum postings to Flickr, but it's a time consuming process and I'm not sure how long it will be until I can get this one fixed.

Looks great Nelsen! I like the looks of those wheels on there. Who modified the bolt pattern for you?

Thanks!

Sorry for the long delay, we took our wheels to a local business called Arizona Custom Machine in Gilbert, AZ. It's a small one man shop, but he does good work.

Hello all!

Well, it took me about 7 hours but I went back through and fixed all the broken PhotoF***it links in the thread and uploaded them all to the Pro Touring system. So, for those of you that missed the whole thread, it is now available to peruse.

We have been driving the car lately, and upgrading it as well. We recently re-geared the axle, we went from 3.73 to 3.55. We had noticed that during autox events we were spending a lot of time near the rev limiter where our engine doesn't make much power. We also installed a FiTech fuel injection system with a Tanks Inc tank with internal pump. So far we are very impressed with the system. I will have some pictures later of our more recent updates, I'm looking forwards to hitting some more autox events soon. And we're ready for Goodguys next week!

I finally have the chance to see this car in person a couple of weeks ago and it is fantastic! Very nice build with a lot of custom touches yet still retains the Chevelle vibe. Good job!!

Thanks! My dad mentioned that he had met you at AMP. I'm jealous I was not able to make it, sounded like a good track. He was very impressed with your car as well Lance.

Thanks!

Several factors have affected the front spoiler, mostly having to do with tearing down the old shop and building a new one. It just got finished up a few weeks ago, so all projects on the cars have been on hold lately.

Second, when we need to trailer the car we usually borrow a friends flat bed trailer rather than clear out our enclosed one. The flat trailer is enough higher that if we did the chin spoiler it would drag going on and off the trailer. We haven't ruled out building one, I still want to, it's just been on the back burner for a while.
