Jody's '70 Chevelle update.....

[GregWeld]

Oh wait! This thread is blank because......

Feel free to list your reason(s) why this car isn't being built

[DOOM]

What's the deal here Greg ??? Jody needs some help you know I'm in.:D

[DBasher]

The man behind the curtain has got a build going and isn’t sharing? Somethings up, I’ll go check the AACA site. :D

Let’s see it!

[camcojb]

Sounds like somebody has been talking to Charley... :rofl:

[FETorino]

Is Charley the only one that will post details of the build?

[camcojb]

It's been sitting at my house since Charley dropped it off. I have a plan but haven't started anything at this point. I have vendors who want to help which is greatly appreciated, but until I have the money to keep the project moving forward I didn't want to start it. So for now it sits.

[clill]

No pressure.

yeah... :D

Thanks Mario. :thumbsup:

Might want to get on it before they retire or worse eh? :sieg:

[214Chevy]

Uhhhh...no take backs. :guns: It has been brought to the body's attention. So, now we gotta see pics or something at least in the project introduction section.

[raustinss]

Maybe tell us what the plans are .... what parts you have now etc..

[camcojb]

Not ready to start a build thread since there wouldn't be any updates for quite a while. As soon as things are in place :G-Dub: I'll definitely share.

The wife and I were standing out front with my son and his girlfriend, and this truck and car trailer pulls into our driveway like he owns the place...

It's Charley with that same **** eating grin. Opens the trailer and rolls out a 70 Chevelle. Basically a one owner mostly original paint car, perfect for a project build. Looks like the owner was elderly and liked to bump into things :goofy: but overall a solid car.

When I was in high school I got to babysit a 71 El Camino SS that was owned by a doctor friend of the family. He told me he had special ordered the paint color and it looked like this, with the cowl hood and black SS stripes.

I've never forgotten that color combo, absolutely stunning IMO. So that's the plan. I want to build a driver in that color combo. Wish list (currently)

LT4 supercharged crate engine

I have a T56 but now thinking about the 8 speed auto

Love to have a Speedtech or Roadster Shop chassis but budget will likely dictate a bolt on setup. That's what I had on Malitude and it worked great. I remember asking Stielow what his opinion of Malitude was before I bought it from Charley. He told me that of all the cars he had built to that point, for a longer trip like HRPT he'd choose Malitude straight up, just rode nicer with the full frame. I agree, my favorite driving car ever was Malitude, just rode great and super comfortable to drive. Handled well enough for me, but not a stiff ride. That was the inspiration for this build.

Vaporworx fuel system... they just work.

Haven't narrowed down tires/wheels but likely an 18" combo for me.

Mostly stock interior with aftermarket seats and gauges.

I plan to drive this car as much as possible. Definitely want to do the Good Guys Road Tour (https://www.good-guys.com/goodguys-road-tour). From the friends who've done it it's their favorite run, even better than HRPT (which I also plan on attending).

I'll have to roll the car out of the shop and take some pics.

[DBasher]

The people have spoken, we need to see something...anything. Maybe we should start a “How I’d build it with someone else’s money” thread.

Jody, is it true to be a moderator you have to own a nonrunning camaro? :underchair::poke::popcorn2:

[Ummgawa]

Jody, I can offer tons of “how about pix” blather and southern sarcasm...that help?

[DOOM]

Jody that color combo is money!!!

[camcojb]

There's a reason why I haven't started a build thread or posted pics. :lol:

Roll that thing back in Jody, it's killing your property value. :D

[Che70velle]

It will buff out Jody.
All kidding aside, is this a factory air car?

[camcojb]

Yes it is.

[camcojb]

I appreciate Charley finding me a project, he's a good friend. It should be a great driver when it's done. :thankyou:

[GregWeld]

Is it done yet?

[Ns RS]

Jody I kept waiting for you to post a pic of robs torino as interference. Looks solid tho, the guy that dropped it off could've atleast had the motor run.. )
