1969 Chevelle Build

Andy, you never tried making a pass with the stockcar tires did you? That was the first "slick" I got when I was a kid with a dual quad 302 in a 83 mustang. Sidestep the clutch at 6500 and roast them through 1-3rd. LOL, what a dumbass I was back then, had a lot of fun and told everybody the motor was so strong it would roast slicks! LOL!

Ahh to be 20 and single again with a good pay check to blow on cars...

I just stumbled upon this. Great build. I love those GM A-bodys. Good luck and hope to see you at the track in the future.

Thanks Jim. This car and it's story turned me into an A-body junky.

Yes I did. You should be proud. I look forward to hanging out with him and seeing if he can teach me some stuff at and away from the track about racing.

I am proud of him. You should come to a points race in 2016. Norwalk is really close.

I think that I just might. Norwalk is in May, that could work.

Well, I like most of us motorheads have done enough one wheel peel burnouts to kill all the mosquitoes in the county with my first car, a 77 silverado. This Chevelle was fun when it was just mufflers, synchros and M/T pro street tires from being a full race car. Would spin through 2nd on the street, into 3rd and sometimes try tonchanhe lanes going into 4th too. The monster Cam, spool and 40 lb flywheel made it an adventure to say the least.
