Project: Lost Control 68 Chevelle Malibu

[csouth]

This is a 68 Chevelle Malibu a friend of mine purchased almost 2 yrs ago to turn into a Resto-Mod. I'm posting it here because we are all car guys and I know people love A bodies. He's not very "car literate", but he knows what he likes and asked me to help execute. I'm by no means an expert, but I know enough not to let someone take advantage of him. He found a shop locally that does a lot of restoration work and some resto-mod stuff. He liked the way the works in progress looked and decided to have them begin in November 2012. I shared the wealth with as many vendors here as I could along the way: Matts Bowties, Twist Machine, UMI, SC&C and The Shop LLC. Sorry I didn't bring the story as it unfolded, but here is summary post.... Please forgive the pic quality as most are from various camera phones

The initial plan was:
upgrade to a 454 with overdrive and FAST EFI
4 Wheel disc conversion
12 Bolt Rear
Convert to factory style buckets, column and console
Ugraded Wheels and tires
Paint and refinish all trim and emblems

Well notice I said "was" the plan, hence the name "Lost Control"

The body was rough and I wish he would have passed, but it was too late buy the time I saw it.

These are a few pics after the car went to the shop for disassembly.
