I might have mentioned this thing a few times, but I'm bored so I feel like posting anything since this place is so dead.

67 chevelle. I've had it since I was 12, and it was my pride and joy before jeeps.

It was bad when I first got it. Now it's just primer, but the paint was so bad that you couldn't really tell the color (originally Royal Plum). So we did the body work. Tore the engine down and had someone do that machining on the block and heads. Put a killer performing cam and pistons in it. The beauty of it was that it was a well optioned car when it came to the engine. Originally a 327ci/275HP car. The transmission was a powerglide that we changed to a TH350. Which I later changed to a K series with a shift kit because my brother switched to a manual, borg warner super T10. After that it's just been maintenance. or to put it differently, I got a jeep. :Thumb:
