[Green70]

thanks for the compliments on the car and girl, sometimes i call her "wifey" "ol lady" ya know not married yet......... guess i gotta do that soon.

Just finished putting the front end together and got the hood back on so the body is done except for some minor adjusting, a bit of trim, and the front and back glass. I should have some pics up pretty soon.

[Green70]

the pics

just finished


drivers side


up close grille shot, i removed the trim and painted it black. I think it looks alot meaner without the trim.


pass. side. Ignore the wet sanded spot there was some solvent pop brandi was making sure wet sanding would take care of or if she'd have to repaint the spot.


just another pretty shot from the front.



Ill have to get more pics cuz my dumbass left the car idle when i took those so the flapper door on the hood was closed.

Glad you kept the green, it has always been one of my favorite colors.

[Motown 454]

It looks good and sounds nice too.

[IndyNova]

were gonna need a better burn out..lol car looks great, makes me want to go work on mine now.

[Green70]

yea i forgot the center caps cuz i got a lil excited but im thinkin i may smooth out the inside there and have brandi paint em again cuz i think the center caps are a bit goofy lookin.

it does sound good but loud! all it has are some hooker header mufflers on there right now, you can see em hangin it the one pic.

A nice burnout will be in order to send off the dryrotted GSC's when i get my new tires.

since i had 2 of my fun rides out yesterday figured i take a pic.

x8 for liking the color!

Anyone with a green Chevelle usually changes that - but yours looks great!

BTW - the gf seems like a keeper - she's in to cars AND she can shoot paint?!

thanks bro and thanks for the compliments guys the chevelle is 90% "done" for now just some small stuff left before i take her out and do some real driving in the spring i do have an H.I.D. headlight kit and a full glowshift gauge setup brandi got me for christmas that id like to get installed by then. Lately ive been workin on getting the body work done on my gf's '85 z28 so i havent had much computer time, but i think she caught the 'pro touring' bug so i think ill be starting a thread and looking around for some done up 3rd gens for ideas.
