Novas Sold, time to start the Chevelle!

[70TWO NOVA]

Well the Nova is sold and gone, now its time to start on the 69 Chevelle. We have had this car for about 3 years now. Its just been sitting in the backyard basically since we bought it. Now that we have some money and time we figure the most logical thing to do is to start the Chevelle. Plans include a 383 LS based engine, built 4L60E trans and full pro-touring suspension treatment. The paint will be bright white (possible ghost stripes or flames) and will have black 18/19" wheels. Here are some pics of the car in its current state.

yeah definately, we plan on it! thanks

[novaboy7272]

All this work is just initial mar-glass work to hold it over for the time being. I had to go back to school so the more detailed body work will come later. The next step is buying a full coil-over suspension from detroit speed so i can role it around. And then starting on the floor pans. It will be may till i do anything else but you can look for some pictures then because me and my brother will keep it updated. Thanks for the support. :thumbsup:

[novaboy7272]

oh yeah, i have to change my username now that i don't have a nova anymore. Although i will still be doin nova burn outs in my heart haha

[novaboy7272]

well i guess i can't. Whoops. At least i got my new baby's picture up ha.

[1badchevelle]

Any updates?

Also since you got rid of the nova any plans on selling the camaro :unibrow:

[70rs]

X2 on the updates. I was also eyeballing the Camaro behind it. Not to buy, just to watch you build it:D
What are the plans for that one?

[1badchevelle]

Not to worry, I could not afford it right now. I need to finish my car before I get another one.

Need more pics of both cars.

[70TWO NOVA]

well my brother owns the chevelle and I (older brother) own the 68 Camaro.
the reason for the slow progress is because he is attending the Air Force Academy and only gets limited time home to work on it. He currently is home for summer so the pics should start coming with progress. As for my Camaro the plan is a gen 1 small block (not sure what size but with be FI) 6 speed and four link. Full PT of course! As for color im gonna probably paint it dark forrest green metallic with a ghosted hockey stick stripe and will sit on 18/19s

My bro got the rollers all welded up today so we can move the car around in the mean time before we get the suspension parts in. Now hes focusing on shaving the ds drip rail and replacing floor pans on his break from the Academy. Ill keep the pics coming...

[novaboy7272]

yeah the pics above are just of the initial primer. The body work is obviously not perfect as you can see some stuff still that needs some work where i shaved the door handles. it was mainly for sealing of the car because i have to leave again to go back to the Air Force Academy. Sadly i won't be back till about thanksgiving. Then i will do the floor pans, trunk pan, and hopefully a quarterpanel, which as you can see i'm not going to keep. i didn't even try and save those things. I promise once more work is done to it that i will ad the picture. :captain:

[70TWO NOVA]

Well I know its been a while but I have some old and new update pics of the Chevelle. Andy has so far replaced the trunk floor, both floorboards and shaved the firewall. Looks sick! Here are some of the pics of the progress...
