      1971 chevelle

      hi guys ive been working on this one for about a year or so, now. It's my first car and i pretty much learned everything i know from my dad who has been restoring cars since he was a kid. im going for the pro-touring look. dropping a 6.0l out of my brothers 2001 chevy pickup. in proccess of rebuilding it right now. been a slow build due to lack of money, but coming along nice. Also I didn't really document all of the bodywork, pictures are kind of random areas of the build. Next time!

      Name: rims.JPG Views: 533 Size: 111.3 KBI really like these style rims. I'm leaning more toward brushed aluminum, rather than painted grey though. I don't want too much of the same color. Still not 100%. Let me know what you guys think!
