Project WidowMaker - The Chevelle Build Thread

That would look nice. I think it would look good if you used the lines of the taillights as a guide for the exhaust tips.

X2! That's exactly what Kris did with the Camaro so just modify the shape of yours to do something similar following the outer line of the valance.

I've always been a fan of the '70-'72 GM A-bodies (with a 25 year collection of '70 Buick GS's to prove it), and as much as I do like the '70 Chevelle, I always thought it would look better with the '71 rear bumper, just to be uniform (4 round headlights, and 4 round taillights; instead of 4 round headlights & 2 small/square taillights).

As far as the exhaust tips, the Buick had an N-25 (exhaust through bumper) option in '71/'72, which I'd also like to modify/improve (as I'll be incorporating it into my '70 GS Stage 1, which never had the exhaust through the bumper option), similar to what you're doing with the Widowmaker, Tim!

Now that I see this pic of the '69 Camaro, that is very appealing and inspiring for cars like ours!

I actually get goosebumps every time I go through this thread, Tim, looking forward to seeing the Chevelle finished, and excited to begin my similar build of my '70 GS, now that the 6' snowdrifts are finally beginning to melt away!
