BUILD 72 chevelle

[crooks]

I've been trying to unfuck this car since I got it. The body is in decent shape and it does run and drive. But it was "built" by an old man that loved zip ties.

Old man Hurst quarter stick shifter and gay race car seats out!

Re pop Chinese Horse shoe shifter/console and dumb expensive bucket seats in.

It has ac, disc brakes, 383, turbo 350 and a currie 9" 4.10gear.
I'm trying not to dump stoopid money in it and just drive it. But we know how that goes.

I think I'm going to fix the front suspension next.

I was at Sammy's 2 weeks ago. Jr wouldn't talk any numbers, like none, no ball park or anything, without seeing the car first.

Listen. I dont hate the 18" and 20"s but I would like more front sidewall on the tire.
It does hadle decent now.
I'm not a fan of these style billet wheels. But they are expensive. I need to find someone to buy them.
It will never have 15" rims unless it can pull the front wheels in the air/ run single digits.

I'm to old for this to be a big rim car.

Everyone tells me dont motor swap it. Bbc/ls
But the only thing that won't be a completely waste of money is if I ls swap it.....

I dig 18’s on A bodies. You can still get enough sidewall and fit big brakes if you like that sorta thing. 17” tire choices suck, they’re all super short.

Yup, that’s Jr to a T lol.

Do those seats reclone/adjust? Any name on them?

Nice car

 

[Jon01]

Very nice! I had a buddy with a 72 SS in highschool. Many good times were had in that car.
A healthy 454, 4 speed and 17 year old shenanigans makes for good memories.

 

[crooks]

They are on rails and do recline to flat. Dont know if they have a name.

 

[crooks]

Old vs new

Interior is done for now. The headliner needs to be fixed or replaced but I’m not doing it this year. Also put some 6.5 kicker speakers in the kick panels. I need to find a small sub for trunk.
