Your car is incredible and would love to own something like that one day.:hail:

[street3285]

I really like the paint / graphics. Nice colors and design.

[70chevelle406]

Are you running the OPG Jamco springs? Also are they 3" drop in the front and rear?

I wanna bring my front down just a bit. I am currently running the eibach 1.3" up front and the 3" OPG in rear. (sorry, not trying to hijack your thread)

Projects always take longer than expected. Looks like it was well worth the wait. Very NICE! Congrats!

[cjdorse]

Yes...I have OPG's 3" front and rear lowering springs. One of the springs on the drivers side (rear) seems to be weak, causing the car to lean slightly lower on the drivers side. I am waiting for the replacement springs to come of backorder.

[cjdorse]

Weather and travel has prevented me from driving and taking more pics of the Chevelle. Thought that I would include some pics of my two other projects...

[waynieZ]

Very Nice.

[shadow images]

Very cool, but you need more tire on the vette.jmho

[Z06Joe]

Very nice. I especially like the Camaro. The Chevelle Tag has MD on it??? Where in MD are you? Do you fix them up and sell them? Or do you collect?

[nvr2fst]

Congrats on completing the Chevelle, nice looking ride
