project 72 Chevelle RS1

[zipsimons]

Well hello everyone and i appologize for my lack of time on the computer! my name is tim but everyone calls me zip. I started this project with a friend almost 2 years ago now. it was going to be a mild makeover car to flip. My friend was fronting the bill and I was to do the concept and build. After about a year and a halfs time and still having a long way to go, it seemed to be less like a flip and more like a personal project. My friend did not mind the timeline thus far but i just didn't feel right about having his money tied up. I knew that with my new baby boy here that things would only slow more. Lucky for me I have a great friend, Shawn Marasco with his own custom shop in Orange City, FL. It's called Rockstars and Custom Cars. We used to play in a band together and had even taken autobody class together in high school. Well now with his new shop i asked him to take over the project build and handle the frame, suspension, motor, and body completion. basically, from this point, I will be handling the concept and reassembling the car. The car was a malibu 350 that i decided to go freestyle on. I decided to do a sort of "what if" chevelle being they never made a rally sport. i am incorperating some of the key styling features of an rs but not all or limited to. like I said...FREESTYLE! I will reveal those feature as a make them! lol I also figured what would be more perfect for a rally sport than a real performance package pro touring build. I want to keep this car a true driver with show and peformance capabilities but not go too overboard trying to make it more for a track. It will be made mostly for comfort, styling, and reliability. So now that I have truely bored everyone to death who has made it this far... here are some pics... i'll probably screw something up with the link so please inform me.
