My Super Stock Chevy II......(project)
 
1 Attachment(s)
Heres a rendering that Matt Levonas did for me of my paint scheme for my Chevy II. Bucky Hess gave me a good bit of input also. I am a HUGE fan of the Grump and wanna do this as a kind of tribute type car. Plus, I will get a good bit of input on the engine from Jake and the fellas at Jenkins Competition. I got my block from him at the Dutch so at least now I have a start. Wisecarver will do the chassis work. It should be a blast.

JC it looks great. Just a question did you notice the Wisecarver built 67 chevy II post car for sale on Racing Junk? It is in the Stock/Super Stock section. It currently is a bracket car with a stick in it but claims to be super stock legal. If it is you would be WAY ahead on your project. Just a thought.

Should be a fun ride! What 327 is that and what natural class is it in?

I saw the blue car that Wisecarver built, but its way outta my price range. I used to work for Wisecarver so hopefully I can do a lot of the welding myself at Gary's. Gary and Joann are like family to me.

I'm gonna run a 327 / 275 hp combo, exactly like Dan Jacobs is running. I wont be a threat to anyone, thats for sure, but I wanna just have fun and get it out there. I may be wrong but I think its a natural SS/G car but I wanna run F. My car is actually a 67' post car, but the drawing is of a 66'..............no biggie.

Sean, you have a nice hot rod. I was checking it out last sat in the lanes at the Dutch.

Jeff, there's nothing wrong with having a little fun and competition, that's what class racing is all about and this is why we are making the conversion and looking forward to next season.

The car looks great, JC. If anyone is interested in 1:18 diecast cars, I see that they're in the process of bringing out Grumpy's 2 different "66 Chevy IIs sometime this fall, plus the '73 Vega. This newer version of the red/white '66 is supposed to be a more accurate rendition than the one introduced years ago, since the manufacturing process is much better nowadays. You can check it out on www.supercar1.com

Actually, to be correct, the Vega is the '72 car with the red '73 paint scheme.

I agree about the $ of it. I was thinking about the car rolling? Just a thought, the only thing I question is the clutch pedal going through the floor? I don't think that is legal is it? It does look great!! I hope you get it finished soon.

JCChildress 10-21-2011 04:46 PM

Re: My Super Stock Chevy II......(project)
 
The clutch coming from the floor is legal only if youre running Super Stock modified. That is a sweet deal and would make someone a really nice car though.

Re: My Super Stock Chevy II......(project)
 
I appreciate the suggestion on the front end set-up Eddie, but I'll leave all that to Wisecarver. Hes been messing with Chevy II's most of his life and has a pretty good handle on them. I do appreciate it though.

Thanks for all the calls and texts also from folks. I appreciate it.

Thanks for the info, Ed,,, but a lot of us out here don't do Facebook, so I guess we're S.O.L. for now,on seeing any photos. Maybe JC will fix that.

JC,,, at least you know how to text,,, heck I can't do that yet. I'm glad the car is coming along just fine,, can't wait to see how it turns out. I love them 'ol Chevy IIs,, had a '66 Nova SS 327 4-speed car in the '70s and '80s myself,,, should've never parted with it.
Take care,,, Danny Durham
