1965 Chevelle Project!

[Rantheman]

I Don't have a project name for it but I do have info and pics on it. This is my 1965 chevelle I got from my father he bought it brand new in 1964 so it sat at the coast for 30 years for reasons but that just means I have a lot of work to do. so here is the frame I welded some gussets for the front LCA for streng in the rear I did some boxing and moved the frame Rails in 2.25 inched for my mini tub.




the frame is upside down as I do some last grinding on it.

[Rantheman]

This is a pic the The Rear end in place with the summit rear end griddle. And my Metco Upper and lower Trailing arms

[Rantheman]

SO a few days Later I decided to install my SS brake lines and my SS fuel line with my Rear air bags and eibach springs and shocks

[Rantheman]

Then figured it was time to get that rear end together now from my mini tubb I also had to cut the rear end down and did it successfuly. My rear end contains richmond 4.10 gears,eaton 3 seiries posi,moser 30 spline alloy axles,ratech install kit, toped with a moser 1350 yoke

[Rantheman]

After the rear end was completed I decided next was to pay attention to the front end. On the rear I only lacked brakes but the front I already had most parts sitting around which are

Global west upper arms
Global west lower arms
Hotchkis 1 3/8 sway bar
AGR quick ratio steering box
all new steering.
B-Body spindles
Eibach springs
kyb shocks
