It has been months but I have some cool updates of the Chevelle, at this point the frame was ready and had been sent out to be mated back with the Chevelle for the first time in months after some work was done to it, Wilwood rotors and calipers all around, UMI performance front/rear Tubular control arms, front/rear sway bar, rebuild rear end set up for the QA1 Coil over front/rear,

Everything is looking really good. Do you have any more pictures of how you took the front cowl apart from the firewall? I'm re-doing my firewall on my chevelle and it looks like you had it at a point where you could have gotten a flat sheet and replaced the entire firewall if you had wanted too.

Even though you said that's not the final rendering, it's sweet. Gonna be a nice looking A-body. Keep the pics coming.

Default 468 BBC Dyno tested at 586HP

While all the craziness of the car being worked on and chassis. I also was building a 468 BBC which was dyno tested at 586HP. I was hoping for a little over 600HP but do to the fact that I wanted to use pump gas and we were close to having to use race fuel which I did not want. We had to go with a smaller intake but at the end I was happy. I am not a fast driving guy so all this HP will probably never really be put to the test but it never hurts to have a little extra. Give me you imputs on it and my theme was to go all black since the entire engine bay will be red with a few satin black part such as master cylinder and so forth.

Looks awesome man. A BBC is a sight for sore eyes these days. I like your theme and attention to detail.
