As the post suggests, my car needs a ton of work. It might be a piece of crap, but it’s my piece of crap 😂 I finally popped one of the valve covers off to see what kind of ports the heads have, and it was as I assumed. They’re peanut ports. I’ll add that to my list of things I need to buy. Anywho, I hope you enjoy and I’ll keep the sub updated on the build
Front and rear leather out of a 2020 SS2. Winter project done. Came out great. Front power buckets and rear fit great. Fabricated new mounts and wiring harness. Easier than i thought.
Found this running driving 69 Chevelle 350 selling for 15k. Body is rough, faded paint, interior very clean but unfortunately frame looks like this. What are we thinking on here? Is this a walk away? Can this be patched or does it need full replacement?
After putting it off long enough the original manual brake master cylinder is starting to leak slightly from the pushrod down into the floor pan. Looking to just upgrade to power brake booster. Front discs/rear drums. Few questions.
- Looks tight for an 11in drum around would I need to move the wiper motor or is an 8in booster a possibility?
- Does the master cylinder that comes with the new brake booster need to be a certain type due to front discs/rear drums
- It still has the originally 2 barrel/350. Would I be able to plug and play a vacuum line somewhere in the carb and it work fine.? I have no knowledge of how vacuum lines work
Would this work?
All thoughts much appreciated
'70 Super Sport top down fun with cool white interior 😎
My first car in high school was a $800 1970 Malibu 307 2 barrel! I mixed and painted my stripes and added gold Cragar wheels! She looked way better than the price and the small hole in the exhaust made it sound better! 🤣🤣 This is where the habit started!
Wanted to share mine. Own it since 1986. Numbers matching car and it has the rare lamp monitoring lights.
Here’s a quick update for those wanting one. This is my first time doing any type of body work so it has been an experience. I don’t plan on it being anywhere close to perfect but trying my best. I’m surprised on how it’s coming out
Bought a 69 307 last week today I went and got all the extra parts that came with it. Most parts fit either the 68 or 69. anyone have any ideas on prices to sell some of these ?
I inherited my father’s car four years ago. It has been sitting for about five years. I want to sell it because I am moving into the city. I have had offers of around $40,000 in the past. The car had no gas in the fuel lines, and the tank was empty. Someone attempted to steal the car, and that is how all the damage inside happened.
Wondering people’s thoughts. Gonna post my 67 Chevelle once paint is fixed a bit (still driver quality) and has a torqstorm supercharger with a 6.0l ls motor, t56 swap and great driver. Is it worth at least 5k more with the supercharger? Or do i pull it off for my other ls swapped car? Debating if it’s worth more worth at least 5k more with 650 vs 480 hp.
I’m eyeballing their level 3 handling kit and was curious about what the opinions are on it. I’m also looking into a rack and pinion swap and wanted to hear everyone’s take on that as well as get some recommendations. Thanks in advance
I’ve always wanted one and when a family friend was selling his I jumped on it. Needs some things but runs and drives like a dream. Now if only I could get the headlights to stay on ? Anyone have any ideas what it could be ? Just always flickering on and off
I bought this ’70 Chevelle convertible recently and have been getting some unsolicited offers, which has me thinking maybe I should sell it before I get too attached. Curious what you guys think it might be worth?
It was a one-owner car until last month and sat in a garage for over 40 years. Showing 49k original miles. I have the original build sheet and original bill of sale too.
Everything is original aside from the engine that is still under warranty with Blueprint (the shop may still have the original), plus the brake system, gas tank, clutch, exhaust, and radiator. There’s $18k in receipts from the previous owner from last year. It’s 3 on the tree which is new to me as well.
It’s not rusted out like you’d expect for its age. Mainly just some rust around the passenger fender area. Runs and drives great, and the body lines are very straight. Please let me know what you think it might be worth.
Hey guys, any recommendations on good mechanics and engine builders for Chevy big blocks in Texas? I've got one that misses no matter what we do, and 2 others that need attention and or rebuild. For daily driver hauling etc- not looking for race car performance, just someone who knows big blocks and not tell me to ' slap an LS in there '. Im in the Austin area. Thanks!
