      New Guy from IL

      Hey guys. I was linked over here from Team Chevelle. I have a 69 Chevelle in about 3,000 pieces in my garage. I'm hoping to do a budget pro-touring LS1 car. I can see that this place is packed full of information for me to check out.

      Welcome aboard!! The LS1 can be done on a budget, its the suspension mods that can get expensive quick.

      B.Specialties in indeed in LaGrange, IL.
      Cant be of much help (price wise) but if you have any tech questions or whatever give me a call (708.588.0505 X 135). I live in the city (Logan Square area) and my Bel-Air hangs out in the burbs. If you guys were @ The Goodguys show this past Saturday you would of seen my 55 rippin around the Chicagoland Speedway track (at a high rate of speed for my 4'' wide bias ply tires)...

      I'm always open to having a get together somewhere. It's the perfect excuse to bring the cars out and just hang out.
