Nice work! It's amazing how many reproduction parts are out there now! You can literally build a chevelle from scratch, they even sell full body shells! Keep the pics coming!

I don't think the Corvette pan is going to work. Based on the dimensions of the batwing pan it is to big to fit the chevelle without modifications. Do you plan on modifying the crossmember or firewall. With your fab skills it probably won't be a problem.
