Alex's 1970 Chevelle at the Roadster Shop [Archive]

RS-Chris

Here is a 1970 Chevelle we started a few months ago.
Alex came to us looking for a subtly refined Chevelle with a few twists, all the while staying pretty true to the original lines and appearance of the car.

He is going for a 585 HP ls3 w/top mount throttle body and T56 trans. We are planning on a couple of subtle details to bring out or enhance a few features of the existing details on the car. Paint scheme and wheels are still being decided.

Here is how the car came to us - Grandma fresh!

Sweet ride! I remember seeing that car on ebay. I thought it was advertised as an original paint survivor.

Looking at the before pics I would have never guessed the car ever had any sheetmetal work.

We decided not to. The ones we used in the green Chevrolet were an aftermarket version of the BMW 'Corona' or 'angel eyes'. We would have liked to make them into a kit but at at the time the components were not the best quality for us to stand behind as a part.

Should have more pictures fairly soon. We have been working on font bumper mods and some concepts for the rear bumper and exhaust area. We will post pics of them once they are dialed in.

Once all of the sheet metal was fitted and components in place, it was time to start on the bumpers.

The sides of the front bumper were cut off and brought in to tuck them in tighter to the body.

We then cut the center portion of the bumper out to eliminate the license plate recess and create a new style line.

12-22-2011, 03:04 PM

I have a question that I have to ask....

You have taken the time to blast the car to bare metal, then you do all the mock up and fabrication work with it still in bare metal. I noticed in some of the pictures that the guys are not wearing gloves while working on the car and I can already see rust forming where there finger prints are.

How do you prep the car before primer when you are done with all the fabrication and it is time for body work to commence?

You guys do amazing work. I am trying to learn how some of the shops handle this since I see so many cars in bare steel for so long at this stage. I was always taught that once blasted it is best to epoxy/etch the parts asap. I also always wear latex gloves when working with bare steel so I don't leave those finger prints in the steel.

Thanks,
Glenn

quick question when you guy are doing a car that need all new sheetmetal do you all use the weatherstripping to check correct door to 1/4 and trunk to 1/4 fit?

Norm, we will generally either buy 2 sets of weatherstrip for the car (one for mock up and the other for final assembly use) or we will figure out the thickness of what the weatherstrip is and then tape rubber or shims in place to act as the weatherstrip.

Some further progress on the rear bumper. It is just about completed at this point. We need to go back and fine tune the gaps and final mount the bumper and lower valance. Then begin on the center exhaust tip.

We were kind of amazed at the fenders and quarters after the car was stripped. We could see that it had something done to the lower quarters and they were re-painted from the center of the car down. It was somewhat confusing because the rockers and floors were absolutely flawless. it must have just been water thrown off the tires that collected around the wheel openings and rusted those areas away.

No real updates on this build. It is in primer about ready for final blocking and then paint. The owner decided to put some money elsewhere at his wife's request.... into our C10 pick up! Both him and his wife have beeen talking about our C10 since we re-introduced it with the orange and white paint scheme. We took 2 months off on the chevelle and he purchased our C10. We have been doing some de-tuning on the truck to make it back into a street friendly cruiser. We swapped motors to a 535 HP LS3 and removed a lot of the race car parts like the dry sump, coolers, remote reservoir coilovers, etc... to give it better street manners. We are just about finished with the changes and should be shipping the truck out to Denver before the first of the year.

His plans are to get back on the Chevelle by mid 1st quarter 2013 and then have it completed for the summer.

Time for an update on the 70 Chevelle since it has been quite a while since the last update. We started back on the car around the middle of the summer finishing up a lot of the small fab work and getting it ready for body & paint. We had to put it on hold for a short time while we got 3 other builds painted and ready for SEMA. Once they were through the paint shop, we were able to get back into this project and hit the ground running. All of the body work and prep work was completed and it was readied for color. After some quick decision making, the owner and us both chose the same color to paint the car. That was probably the first time that has ever happened on the first shot! Color is always the hardest part of the build, but we were both on the exact same page this time. He was looking for a dark charcoal that still had some life to it. We sprayed out a few different test samples and all of us landed on a 2013 Audi color.

Enough talking... here are some shots of the paint.

http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss79/RS-Perf/Alex%20Figge%2070%20Chevelle/Picture1054_zps40ad2ded.jpg

It is a cool color that looks dark, almost black at some angles.
