Re: My '69 Chevelle/Winston cup car
 

Biased opinion being a Chevelle owner myself; the '68-'69 are by far the "meanest" styling of the entire Chevelle line. Yours absolutely adds to that! What a combination, great work! I'm looking forward to more.

Re: My '69 Chevelle/Winston cup car
 

I had a 68 too!.....agree def the meanest era....followed by the 66'.....but I do love em' all

Re: My '69 Chevelle/Winston cup car
 

I love old round trackers, and that has got to be one of the coolest builds ever. Very original, I can't wait to see more :metal:

In!!

Re: My '69 Chevelle/Winston cup car
 

This is the coolest build i have ever got to lay eyes on.

Re: My '69 Chevelle/Winston cup car
 

Wow thanks!.....I can remember going to a little 1/3 mi paved bullring called Peterbourgh Speedway in (you guessed it) Peterbourgh Ontario as a teen in the Late 70s and seeing the whole field of Late Models being 68 -72 Chevelles!.... I thought they were so cool with their wheels all hanging out, their nasty smallblocks and the bodies right down on the ground....thats where it all started....and that track btw is still in operation.....I'll post some more build pics tomorrow

Re: My '69 Chevelle/Winston cup car
 

Do u wanna lend me some money to build one of these lol??? jk
Awesome project man.

Re: My '69 Chevelle/Winston cup car
 

I know projects go slow but i can't wait to see any updates. This is so cool to see two recycled cars married as one and then put on the street using the old race chassis.

You have seen it for years where guys buy old drag cars and put em on the street, but its VERY rare to see it done with a circle track car.

Re: My '69 Chevelle/Winston cup car
 

Very cool build! Have you chosen a color combo yet?

Re: My '69 Chevelle/Winston cup car

Re: My '69 Chevelle/Winston cup car
 

sold the rolling chassis to a guy for $750 then cut out the entire rusty floor and trunk pan out of the Chevelle with a sawsall and a torch.....the one pic is smokey had a decent little fire going on......the Chevelle came with no motor/trans, interior, wiring, cluster, not even a steering coloum...the car was parted out years ago and sat in a barn, nobody wanted it.....perfect car for me....It does have new quarters and came with a full title. speced out to a 307 powerglide car.

Re: My '69 Chevelle/Winston cup car
 

Took a whole box trailer full of metal to the dump ,rolled the racecar underneath and slowly started lowering the Chevelle body over it.....on the first drop the body stopped about halfway down the A pillar of the cage, I estimate it took about 2hrs of work(cutting, measuring, eyeballing) for every inch it went down after that.....had to thin the rockers to get it to fit over....the good thing about the racecar is the rectangular frame rails are all perfectly straight, makes it easy to measure and work with.
