Hi there my names Paul and I own a 67 Beaumont (Canadian Chevelle)
It's a forever project (seems like anyway) Had the car for over a dozen years.
I've done a lot of suspention upgrading and this year i'm gonna autocross it.
Thats what brings me here.Always looking to improve it. Kind of on a lower budget these days but I love fabbing stuff and making stuff work.

Paul-ish,

That’s a great looking Beaumont. It’s definitely a different take on other A-Bodies. Did they make an SS model? Thanks for including Hotchkis (http://www.hotchkis.net/) in your build. We bet you’re looking forward to warmer weather!
