Well guys these are pics of the Chevelle prior to heading to wired up, satin black bumper have been installed, AutoRad radiator core support painted same color as car, look at the Ringbrothers black anodized door handles took almost 2 months but well worth pics don't do them justice

well the build has had it delays over its course and number one lesson learned is make sure everthing is mocked up more then once to assure once the car is painted the assembly goes smoothly but in my case nothing was mocked up lessson learned. So assembly guy has been doing mock up/install/making sure he dong scratch the paint. I have learned the sheet metal work and paint is part of the entire build I say 25% the rest is on engine, drive train adn assembly because they are the ones that will either make the car look smooth or just start putting things together like nothing. But overall it has been a good experience












here are some more engine is actually ready to go in, A/C lines are pretty much complete, brake lines, having issues with gas tank which wouldnt fit but that should be going any day, 3" Magnaflow exhaust should be going in once the engine is in but loving the AutoRad radiator and core support set up 1st to none in craftsmanship and quality, I figure I throw in a pic of some of the vendors ive used awesome products wish oe of them would sponsor me ill take 30-40% off on my next build lol, a couple of shots of the interior and loving the center console, give me your feedback guys and ill add on some other vendors i used cant forget about the ringbrothers sick black anodized door handles and hood hinges just sweet not pictured yet the hood hinges at least but trunk hinges are EMS nobody else made them well except Fesler but the wait was way too long for me,
