64 Chevelle SS Malibu Redo

[MOREHORSEPOWER]

I purchased this car 12 years ago . Living in Utah and being a car guy when you see a old car that you like and it is running the original California black plate with a for sale sign , well you need to do what you need to . At that time I was putting the finishing touches on my 1971 ElCamino . My son at that time was 5 years old , I would notice him grabbing tools from the tool box and act like he was working on the Chevelle . At that point the wife and I decide that we would build the car drive it for a few years then give it to him as his first car . So in 2006 we started to restore with a frame off build on the car and build it my way . As a general contractor 2008 came about , forcing use to put the car on the back burner . This is roughly where we left off on the car .





Fast forward to 2013 my son now is 15 and found a C10 that we worked on for 2 years going trough the truck from top to bottom front to back .





With a LS swap built 700R4 12 bolt posi with 373 rear gear .


Now the kid has the bug and wants to build a more powerful and better handling car . So i just set back and waited it out as he poured though the local adds for sale trying to find that next project . After looking at a few and buying a car . I offered up the 64 Chevelle and he jump on it . So out came the blown small block and we pushed it out of the garage for the first time in
8 years . There it was with 8 years of dust on it .





Now after a wash job here it is .







Now we can start the tear down .
