Default MetalWorks LS3 powered 1967 Chevelle pro-touring re-vamp build

This 67 came into MetalWorks are an already great looking street car, but the new owner wanted us to take it to the next level of performance and style.

The transformation of this 67 will include: A brand new GM Performance 430hp LS3 engine with MSD Atomic LS EFI, a Wagner front runner drive kit, a 4L65E transmission with a MSD TCM "transmission controller", Vintage AC, a Currie 9" rear end, Heidt's front and rear suspension, Wilwood 12.19" brakes, Budnik V2 wheels, Dakota Digital gauges, and a full custom interior and convertible top.

Default Heidts front suspension swap

First thing we tackled was improving the Chevelle's handling and braking, so we swapped out the stock front suspension for a Heidts upgrade, and a Wilwood disc brake conversion.

Default Heidts rear suspension swap, and Currie rear end

Our next upgrade was to swap out the mostly stock rear suspension for a Heidts set-up, along with a Currie rear end with Wilwood brakes.

Default Pulling the SBC in prep for the LS3 conversion

Out with the old, and in with the new...though the SBC was a great running, it's time for an upgrade.

It looks like a really nice car, and with the updates it's going to be even better.
