Default 65 wheels and suspension

browsing old threads, the kid surprised me with a set 15" TTs a couple years back which led me to discover that every piece of my suspension was still original and needed upgrades. after much consideration we decided to pull the trigger on a major rebuild starting with floor and trunk sections that were almost non existing where the body bushings sit.

with a few other projects half way done and myself away for the winter the kid managed to pull the interior and motor by himself and send the car on its way for metal work. hopefully the next time I post on this thread we'll see some big changes

Default Suspension upgrade

Well for my birthday, the kid took me to pick up my new art morrison frame for the Chevelle we’ll strip a few pieces off and send it out for powder coating next week. Hopefully have a rolling chassis by the end of the month maybe even with motor and trans.. I can dream, can’t I?

The shipping crate is designed to stack upright with the frame on its side - we use the skid steer to lower it down, cut off the top of the crate and screw a bunch of dollies to the bottom so we could move it around at the shop

The TTs aren’t going to fit Chevelle with the brake upgrade, they look great on Unclemino.

Chassis pretty much ready to receive body. They will meet each other next week and hopefully be joined together soon. A little sneak peek on the original color mist blue.

Xplant Bruce, why do these pictures show up sideways sometimes when they’re upright in my phone?
