New guy from Baltimore

[68Dave]

Just joined and wanted to introduce myself, name is Dave from baltimore,MD. I am building a 68 chevelle. Original owner Cali. car till '04. SPC lca's, 1.3" Eibach springs, Hotchkis sway bars, UMI rear trailing arms, Edelbrock shocks, currently performing a LS1 front disc brake conversion. I just ordered my Rushforth Livewires and Nittos from Jon at Driverzinc, this is going to be the longest 4-6 weeks of my life!!! Next on the list is some SC@C ultralight adjustable uca's with the tall bj's. Ive been reading on here for a while now and you guys/gals have been a big influence on my 'velle and my dwindling bank account! LOL!!! I'm having trouble uploading pic's.

Welcome. Can't wait to see the car when you are done. I live in Hampstead.

Thanks everybody, i'll try and post some pics when i get the front ls1 brake swap completed and my wheels installed. Still dealing with some issues with the sway bar end links and the SPC lca's. 69-x44, this chevelle is my first attempt to pro touring. I have'nt seen many pro touring vehicles around MD, any shows that specialize in P-Ting?

Nice looking car Dave.:thumbsup:

Dave,

My car is still in progress. I haven't seen anything specifically but keep looking on this site and someone will give you a heads up. Good luck with the car.

nice lookin 68! A friend of mine had a 68 with a 327 in high school, wasn't nearly as nice as yours but it was still a fun ride :D

[68Dave]

Montanass, i wish mine was a 327, it's a 307. Original owner car from southern Cali. up until 2004. Came with all it's original documents and maintance reciepts in the orig. owners name and phone#. I called the # and spoke with the original owner, Francis, he answered some questions for me, that was pretty cool! I almost did'nt buy it from the 2nd owner because of the 307, but it runs great! Decent gas mileage to, last chevelle was a big block. I plan on upgrading the engine when i'm done with the suspension, brakes and wheels, i wish it was a 327 car though!

[montanass]

gas mileage whats that? (BBC+lumpy cam+ 4spd= thirsty)

nothing wrong with a 307, just need to turn that mouse into a mighty mouse :thumbsup:

Welcome to the best site going for anything PT--best people for sure.

I am looking forward to your wheel pictures when you get them on the car---those Rushforths will look awesome on it. What color combo did you choose on the wheels? How about sizes?

Keep us posted!!!

Dfresh, polished hoops with brushed/cleared centers and polished hardware. 18by9 front with 275/35zr18 and 18by10 with 305/35zr18 Jon at Driverzinc recommend those tire/wheel sizes. I thought they were a little wide for a lowered 68 chevelle, but from what i've read here and on p-t.com Jon is the man when it comes to wheel fitment! Thanks.
