      Chevelle Summer Time Cruiser

      Im finally on the path to finish this project. I have been changing my mind so many times on which way to take this project. I always wanted just a simple clean ride with power. Some people may have seen the old pics when i started on it. I have been through so many ups and downs and extremely busy doing other customer rides.. so i will be havin many pics of updates on it.

      The interior I went with far as the buckets and rear seats are from an 05 monte carlo already ebony color. All thats going to change when i get through putting it together. First I would like to finish my suspension, brake lines and floor mods.

      fitting the wheels and installed the seats. I love how the seats look alot.

      Then took the front apart to smoothe the firewall and rebuild the front suspension along with my new brake setup.

      Alright on to the front suspension got it all done and then wanted to test fit the motor with some headers I had on the shelf for some years. This 360 rat roller means business.

      The headers came off of my 73 camaro rs I sold. I didnt think they would work on the A body. Just had to do a little mod to make room for the angled plugs. Now I got that out the way, did a little painting.

      My color choice was my problem for building this car. When u paint cars yourself its so hard to choose. Sometimes u just have to buy the paint first then say since I bought it I have to continue to finish....lol.

      Im going to keep it GM.... I got 2011 camaro colors....Syber Gray and Sliver Ice Metallic

      I didnt want to go with big wheels trust me.... I got these Bonspeed sweeps on a good deal so i went with them. They are 24's and i know some ppl want like it but it will still be a very very nice crusier.

      If you end up not liking the wheels, you can always sell them. Watch out for pot holes!!

      lol... I bet at the most I would have only have time to put a few miles on it... This summer it would spend its time being hauled to shows plus I have about 10 cars I have to have ready for this event in Ga, at the Atlanta Motor Speedway called Stuntfest. This year I will have a couple of rides featured in the RIDES MAG also.... so its gone me a wonderful year hopefully.
