My transformation

[HELLCAMINO]

Don't post here often, just wanted to show what I have busted my arse on all winter. And when I busted arse, i mean it. I work shift work, 12 hour days at time and every other weekend (i get 4 days off a month). Had a hernia operation in Dec. also, plus I have a teenager, house, and a girlfriend to juggle time around. Anyway, I got sick of the drag car look and style of my 71 Chevelle that I have owned for 26 years and decided to change it up to run autocross events. I've been running my 72 Elco for about 4 years now in local SCCA events and do well. Here's a few pics.
Enjoy!

The Elco that I almost daily drive except for snow.



The way my 71 did look



How it is now with all UMI suspension, LS1 disc brakes, TSW Amaroo wheels and Nitto 555 tires.

Nice transformation.
I bet she handles a lot better now!

Don't know yet, only drove it 10 miles to get gas and the front end aligned. I have a race this weekend, I'll find out.....LOL.

Congrats on the progress. The Chevelle is looking great. Be sure to come around more often if you can.

Wow -- Yeah the title of this thread fits perfectly. From Pro Street to Pro Touring... Personally I like the Chevelle WAY better now. Just seems "fresh". Nice job!

I used to have a '69 SS396 El Camino -- Dusk Blue with a white vinyl top.... back in the day the tires were SO USELESS... all it ever did was light 'em up. Fun but not fast. LOL

Thanks for the nice comments.
Would you all believe that the paint is 25 years old?
Had it painted in 1990 with a 1990 Pontiac green.

Can't tell in the second picture, are the ghost stripes gone now?
