Joris 69 chevelle budget build
Helle everybody. Im Joris and im 23 from Ontario
im here to post my 1969 chevelle project. Its my first american car and my first project to this extent. Im farm mechanic so ive got access to space and lots of tools. Im mostly learning as i go and researching things but figured id share and hopefully receive some pointers and advice here too.
i picked up a 69 chevelle malibu this April 2021 after having wanted one for about 2 years. I wanted a rough and cheap one since i knew id be redoing the whole car anyway. The previous owner had it since 72 and was forced to sell due to changing properties and having no way of moving the car really. It sat parked outside for about 20 years so its a rust bucket. It looked better on the ad but after a 6 hour drive to pick it up there was no turning back. Got back home at 4am and back to work at 7 haha.
Blue exterior. Blue interior. Original 307.
Quick project overview.
bought an fresh build ls2 with forged internals and a custom cam.
F-body T56 that im rebuilding at the moment.
straightened and repaired the frame. Then boxed and braced it with 1 3/4 pipe. Then galvanized. I have yet to confirm it didnt warp during that process
rebuild 12 bolt posi with 3.55 gears. Seller told me it was a 4.10 but i recently discover its a 3.55 or something close to that.
all tubular suspension of mixed brands. Aldan american coilovers.
all try to post some pictures in my second post.
