Re: Ground up build Chevelle
After sending the body to get powder coated ( I did not get a picture of it after that was done it was off to "Deluxe" to get it straightened out. Also pictures of the frame before, after we boxed it it, and reinforced it for the roll bar.

Re: Ground up build Chevelle
The color of choice has been selected. The original owner of the car made me promise to "never paint it some gaudy awful color or put silly flames on it" LOL. Factory Mist Blue Metallic....unfortunately VERY expensive.. to be continued......

Re: Ground up build Chevelle
After the frame came back it was time to put on some pretty stuff.
Went with ALL Strange Engineering components. 12 bolt (all Lite) Front and Rear 4 piston disc brake system. Global West bushings, Spohn Rear Arms and Anti Roll-Anti Sway Bar. moroso Trick springs (to start) QA1 Stocker Stars out back and CE' up front. This will be the start point as I am sure I some stuff will change later.

Re: Ground up build Chevelle
Now its Shiny again! Special Thanks to the Howard Brothers for this part! Stopher and Matt put alot of work and detail into this for me. They normally work on only high end european stuff.In these photos you can really see the contrast between the powder coat silver and the blue paint
