Project Lethal Induction

[HotWhls]

Looks like it will be a cool project. Do you plan on doing shows with it or more of a track car. I will be watching your posts and maybe I will see you running around town when you get it done.

The plan is to race, show and daily drive in the summer so when its done you will see it running around town.

I am curious who is going to do the metal fab for you. I am looking for a metal fab guy to do some work for my nova. Do you know anyone in the area that does good work

[ChevelleNV]

what kinda fab work you looking to have done for your nova?

I was refereed to a guy up in Gardnerville, but after seeing his shop I am a little leary. I may just end up just teaching myself to do most of the work I need on mine.

I did some fab work years ago, so I know a few techniques for doing aluminum work just never really did any sheet metal work. (Used to build sheet metal manifolds for pro stock/pro mod cars)

Nice project. Keep the pics coming! And good luck with it.

Just metal wOrk in general. Shaving handles chopping roofs, aluminum fab work. As you know there isnt alot of people in the area that do custom work. And if they do i think they charge 2 arms and 2 legs. What are you plans for interior and do you know anyone that does really nice work in the area

well I got some feelers out for someone to do some fab work, if I find anyone worth a dam and is not pricing his work out the roof Ill let you know.

as for the interior I haven't made any plans set in stone yet, since The car had new interior in it when I got it. I'm gonna try and sell what I have and do something nice and custom.

Me neither, got a lot of work ahead of me... just need to figure out how to get my boss to double my salary and cut the build time in half...

Well finally got the car media blasted today, the cool part was the soda blaster guy came to me and did the car right in the driveway of the shop so I was able to watch the whole thing.

here's some porn for you pictures whores. (more pictures @ http://gallery.me.com/chevellenv/100048 )

As much as I would love to say ya, not a whole lot has happened in the last two months. been saving some money and collecting parts. I have made arrangements for a really good body man to to all the metal work on the body, but he says he wont touch the body until its back on the frame so two weeks ago I pushed the body out into the shed and moved the frame inside and started working on that.

I sand blasted part of the frame so I can get it boxed and putting in some additional material to stiffen the frame. here's a couple of teaser pics for the picture whores.







In two weeks I will be tearing out all the old suspension, and should have the cash i need to buy all the new suspension in about a month and a half. the plan is to have the chassis all finished by November and have the body sitting back on the frame. I have already purchased all the new sheet metal i need to have the body finished and just need to get it over to my body guy to finish it up.

I have decided to air bag the chassis with ridetech suspension and put willwood brakes on it. I will try and keep up with the updates.

[ChevelleNV]

Well sorry for the lack of updates on my project guys, been kinda busy with other things in my life. but I have made some progress. been working on boxing and stiffening the frame and was gonna try and finish up the frame rail extensions today but ran out of welding wire :(

so here's some pics for all you picture whores out there.

nice build so far

[malbright]

Good looking build. I like the bracing going in on the frame. Full frame cars seem nicer to build. Good job. More pics please....

[ChevelleNV]

Woohoo, Santa showed up a little late with the first part of my parts order for the chevelle. here's a little sneak peak.



I will post up some more pics later after I'm feeling better (felling like crap today)

Four boxes of stuff from them...I'm super jealous. Frame ain't making it any better either.

[ChevelleNV]

So I finally got around to opening up my goodie boxes from ridetech (Finally felt half way human today).
