Re: 1971 Chevelle SS454 D/SA
CC…Looking good. Your eye for potential is the same as we have on the West Coast, anything from that Era is worth saving. Are you painting it too?Any Armstrong influence? MB.

Re: 1971 Chevelle SS454 D/SA
We have a friend painting it, as he's a real painter and we are mechanics and welder a lol. Going Cortez Silver with Black stripes. Little bit of the machine work was done at A&J, but most was done at home and my buddy's shop down the road. With used parts and no funny stuff we were able to make 466hp on the dyno at A&J, with about $4400 tied up in the motor carb to pan.

Re: 1971 Chevelle SS454 D/SA
Dads gettin very excited, as am I. I've race for 15 years, 12 of which we ran the same bracket classes and we have never been down the track side by side, even in a time trial. I'm thinking this will be the year the 67 year old teacher and 29 year old student make a little local history with the Atlantic Canadian Stock/Superstock Association!
