Hey guys, I've been a member on here for roughly a year and a half and have never posted any pics of my '72 Chevelle. No specific reason, I just haven't. I just mostly read and respond majority of the time. Anyway, a fellow member on here pm'd me and wanted me to post some pics of it from what he had seen on my avatar. It's not much guys and I'm still working on it as we all know how that goes. It's dirty on the inside from being in the shop and the dash isn't quite put all the way back together. LOL!! Nevertheless here it goes and let me know what you guys think. Good and bad, I can accept positive & negative criticsm. I'm not a sensitive guy at all.

Here are a few more. This is when it was in the shop getting the old Baer brakes taken off and upgrading to the new 6-piston kit with Global West tubular a-arms, QA-1 coilovers & ATS spindles. I still have to buy the 6-piston kit for the rear, but decided I wanted an new LS motor first. Also, notice the cluttered up engine bay with the old big block in it. Maaan, wired and lines everywhere. LOL!! Well, the big block & TKO 600 are now gone and the new LS 6.0 408 stroker & new T56 Magnum will be in by the time it warms up again in the spring. I already have the motor & tranny sitting in my garage and just need to get the funds to get it installed. But, Christmas and property taxes got to get paid first. I will post some pics of the motor and tranny later.

Thanks for the love guys. You know comments such as these is what keeps me motivated to spend my life savings, huh? LOL!! Not to brag guys, but when I get my motor & tranny in the Chevelle and get the Baer 6-pistons on the rear I will be getting a custom dash in it. But the next big project on the list is my 68 C10. It will have all C4 Corvette suspension which I already have. I think if I get on one project and stay I can finish. But I'm trying to do them both at the same time. Oh, the agony!! I will do the proper Lateral-g introduction on the truck, I promise. Thanks again guys.

Here is a sneak peek of the truck with the front clip off. The cab and bed are off of the frame too. They are just sitting on top of the frame to save space. Also, included are some pics of the custom C4 crossmember with custom LS motor mounts ready to be installed on it. That's why the front clip is off.

It's not much? I think it's sweet! Only negative thing I could say is that you need to vacuum it out. lol
