Derek69SS's Chevelle

[XcYZ]

We went out and took some pics tonight since the weather was absolutely perfect. Turned out pretty good, IMO. :thumbsup:

Love those mirrors, Derek. :yes:

Wow, very nice!

Who took the pictures? I am going to assume you? I don't think Derek is capable of a picture like that. I have seen his work before... :lol:

If you would have sent that into the photo contest you might have won.. nice shot.

Hey, wanna be in Hometown??? ;)

[Derek69SS]

Scott, thanks again for shooting some professional looking pictures of my car. :thumbsup:

Who took the pictures? I am going to assume you? I don't think Derek is capable of a picture like that. I have seen his work before... :lol: Of course it wasn't me, I'm too short for high-angle shots... I can only do low-angle stuff. :D

Hey, wanna be in Hometown??? ;)How many times can I be in it? :lol:

[Derek69SS]

BTW, for those interested in the specifics of the car, here's the rundown...

Paint & Body all done as a father/son project while I worked in Dad's body-shop while in High School. The colors are '94-96 Corvette "Dark Cloisonne Metallic", and GM "Arctic White" stripes. The mirrors are from a '95 Buick LeSabre. :yes:

Engine & Trans combo is a '95 LT1/4L60e from a Caprice state-patrol car, mostly stock w/ shorty-headers, a mail-order PCM tune, and 3000rpm Edge converter. I used a Speartech harness and Tanks Inc. in-tank fuel pump in the stock gas tank. Rear axle is 12-bolt 4:10 posi.

Brakes & suspension includes AFX spindles and SPC pro-lites up front, and C5 'vette rotors and calipers. The rear is all spherical stuff from wolfe racecraft and I put used LS1 F-body brakes in the rear. Next suspension-mod is SC&C lower A-arms as soon as they're available. :unibrow:

Tires & Wheels are 235/45 and 255/45 Kumho Ecsta MX's on 17x7 and 17x8 Billet Specialties

Interior is the next project... It's kind of embarassing the way it is now, so I'm tackling that this winter. It will be all new stock-appearing and switched to white with some subtle mods. :)

Looks great! What are you using for coil springs..the stance looks nice.

[Derek69SS]

Springs and shocks are dirt-track parts... front springs are AFCO 700# 5" x 9.5" with threaded "weight-jacker" adjusters from speedway motors used for adjustable ride-height. Rear springs are Tru-Coil 175# 5.5" x 11" single-pigtails. Shocks are AFCOs for street-stock class. It rides a bit rough, but the handling is incredible! :thumbsup:

[Stuart Adams]

Very nice. Always need more pics.

[Steve1968LS2]

How many times can I be in it? :lol:

Given how much better this shot is compared to the lackluster one you sent in a year ago.. well, I might be able to forget you were in. lol

To bad these were'nt entered in the contest, would have been a contender. :yes:

Judy....I laughed so hard I sharted.

[Derek69SS]

Hey Scott, how did the engine pics turn out? I know it wasn't clean, but in that light it may have looked good. :)

I really like the one with the black & white background. :hail: I might have to get a poster-size print of that one for the living-room. :unibrow:

[Steve Chryssos]

Great car. Great photography. What camera did you use?

[7TSS]

Nice pics. The photoshopped version really lets the car stand out.

[70TWO NOVA]

[Rybar]
