Lets give some love to the A-Bodies!

[Yelcamino]

This is a great thread! One of the cooler aspects about A-bodies is the fact that each division has their own version so everyone can have one in whatever flavor they prefer! Keep 'em coming guys!

Current state of my '68:





ATS/SPC/SC&C suspension w/ Eibach's & Varishocks. Kore3 c6 brakes.
468 cu. in. Olds (approx. 425 HP/500 TQ), currently at Zoop's to mock-up a new serpentine-belt conversion for the big block Olds.
Eventually will have a TKO 600, 12 bolt, and so on. Someday...

looking really good. I would be really interested in what you come up with on the pulley system

[gearheads78]

I know gearheads67 is coming along nicely hopefully he will see this thread and post a few pics of his nice build on his convertible

Who is that? I am gearheads78 FYI the came from the 78 malibu I had 11 years ago when I discovered the interweb. Still even had it until about a year ago but I just keep the same handle everywhere.

Anyway here is my current project 66 Cutlass convertible.

Its going to be an "inboard" mount system, with everything within the dimensions of the motor. They use a really small alternator and compressor, and a remote reservoir power steering pump. so the systems are very compact. I have the original 350 also, so hopefully (for all the Olds guys out there) I can get them to make the kit interchangeable between the small & big block, or possibly they'll bring a small block kit to market too.

Love the A-body thread...ssssslllllllooooowwww progress on mine. Here are the most recent progess pics....hoping to have it on the road at the end of the summer...um..same thing I was hoping last summer :(

[highschool70ss]

Here's mine, nothing crazy planned just make it handle better and sit lower.

[wingman]

After several Chevelles I decided to do something different - Grande Touring

[wayne70]

Here is my 70, 468 ci. turbo400 with a gearvendor overdrive, 3.70 rear.Now riding on air.

[cmraman]

I picked this one up recently. It's a total driver for now and I am not going to touch it until I get a solid plan in mind. I do know that I want to change the handling so I can autocross. Probably will stay a resto mod.

Here are a few pic's of my A body project LS1 F-85.
A 1965 F-85 cutlass still in work. Some day maybe it will look as clean as the one above.

[stealth71]

How did I miss this thread? Nice cars above.

Here's my beater:






LS1, T56 a few bolt ons 400+/400+ at the wheel. 12.1@116 first time out.
Just tore the rear out for a rebuild and C5 brakes all around. Finishing up the interior. Getting her ready for Chevellabration '09.
