I like your year of Chevelle and 67s too. Good job saving it.

Bob 68327 · 01-21-2014, 12:29 AM

Thanks for the kind words guys . It has a long ways to go . I'm gaining slowly it will be the car of my dreams someday soon I hope ..

71maligreen · 01-23-2014, 11:31 AM

possibly inner fenders if they are good . I don't need an engine or trans . Its plenty stout made 500 on the dyno and is backed by a built 400 turbo with a 3500 stall . thanks for asking ..

71maligreen · 01-28-2014, 12:07 AM

i have a nice set of inner fronts 125 and they are yours
im about an hour east of the quad cities

Bob 68327 · 05-26-2014, 09:46 PM

The front body mount is now installed as well as the tailpan of the car . trunk pan this week I hope !! Sitting on all new mounts at last!! enjoy the pics

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-03-2014, 10:58 PM

Nice work Bob. Are you going to pull the body off and blast and paint the frame when you're done with rust repair?

Bob 68327 · 06-05-2014, 05:34 PM

Yes all new stainless lines, tubular control arms , disc brakes, ect.

Bob 68327 · 06-12-2014, 12:44 AM

New trunk pan installed still have to metal finish but another step forward..
before and after ...

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-12-2014, 02:28 AM

That looks a lot better Bob. Great work!

Thanks Ryan . getting there little by little..

Bob 68327 · 06-15-2014, 10:15 PM

Prep work almost complete for right side wheelhouse and Quarter .. Seems like it has taken forever to get this far ..

sorry for the upside down picture fellas ..

Bob 68327 · 06-30-2014, 10:41 PM

Let's try again right side up hopefully

y5mgisi · 07-01-2014, 02:53 AM

Thats just so crazy to me. I applaud your effort.

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-01-2014, 02:50 PM

Bob, you're getting closer!

hopped up · 07-01-2014, 03:08 PM

Great job so far, I'm surprised to see the aftermarket parts look like they fit really well. Guess the Chevelle parts are made much better than the after market body parts tir our trucks

Bob 68327 · 07-01-2014, 05:49 PM

I didn't show you all the beating and forming .. I have been doing sheetmetal work for about 23 years . The goodmark stuff fits pretty good but not great..

Bob 68327 · 07-01-2014, 07:27 PM

I'm determined to save it !! Its going to be nice someday soon I hope !!

Bob 68327 · 07-11-2014, 12:06 AM

inner and outer wheelhouse fitted and trunk drop off . slipped the quarter on because I need more motivation .. starting to come together now ...

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-11-2014, 11:18 AM

That should definitely help in the motivation situation! It looks great Bob!

Bob 68327 · 07-11-2014, 05:04 PM

Thanks Ryan . I have been working about 75 hours a week between work and my shop on customer cars to fund the chevelle . Been working on mine in between cars . Starting to get excited now that its coming together.

y5mgisi · 07-12-2014, 01:57 AM

Damn thats insane. You have incredible talent!
