Re: The Project Havoc....
 

Nuke, even though I've been following this thread, it just donned on me I have a few odd's and end's left over from my Chevelle build . Also, some stuff I changed out over the years. PM sent, just in case your interested.

Re: The Project Havoc....
 

Thought I would show all of you a car that I have been helping on lately, a friends dada 56. he has had it since the early 70's, sat inside, beautiful car, has not driven it in nearly 10 years now, the suspension and brakes were sketchy. SOOOOO. I talked with them and we got the engine rebuilt, trans rebuilt, used a diff from a 70 Nova with 50ooo miles on it, a set of 18" Fooses, CPP front disc brake kit, polished booster, IDIDIT tilt column, leaf sprinp relocation kit in the rear. The paint is original and bubling, but that will get redone in the future, and th interior is awesome, right from the 70's. Clint is so happy that his car is getting done, His daughter wants to use it for her wedding car, well, she will have on heck of a ride!!! Hope you enjoy.

UMMMMMM, dumb luck is all I can say, I helped a friend out for a bit on his race car and then this showed up, thanks!

Yah I know, no complaints here, that is for sure.

PUNCH IT OUT!!!!!! Stock pppffffhhhhtttt!!!!! the 317's they are the better heads for charging a engine, thicker deck on them.

Already there, but thanks for the tip, and I pm'd you.

Re: The Project Havoc....
 

Hey, I'll get those pics for you as soon as I get a day off and can dig them out of the garage and get pics. I'll start a thread on my Chevelle on this forum in the "other" section. It's all torn apart right now getting a complete overhaul. Be on the lookout.:devil:

Re: The Project Havoc....
 

I can not wait!!!!!! and thanks.

Re: The Project Havoc....
 

James,
that is a super looking 56! Just out my curiosity, how did he get a car that rust free in Canada? I know you said it was sitting inside....but dang! that is a clean car!

Re: The Project Havoc....
 

Well, it was originally a cop car in the 50's, then who knows what happened to it, clint took possesion of it in the 70's and has driven it since, never in winter and always sat inside, there is 2 little spots of rust on it thou. very nice car.

Re: The Project Havoc....
 

James, here are two teaser shots. One of the frame freshly powdercoated and another of the newly fabbed tranny tunnel for the T56 Magnum 6-speed.

Re: The Project Havoc....
 

I am a firefighter/paramedic. But, since firefighters have so much time off with the way our schedules are designed, I work at an orthopedic surgery center part time to support my habit of cars. LOL!! :pty: As a firefighter I only work 10 days a month with a 24-hours on, 48-hours off schedule. Therefore, with the other 20 days off I can make alot of money on my parttime gig. I draw blood, start IV's, splint injuries, test lab specimens, etc at the hospital. Hey...more teaser pics just to show off. :aw: This is the firewall and cowl being shaved. That's enough pics James. Don't want to thread jack. It's just we have something in common with the Chevelles.

Re: The Project Havoc....
 

I think i need a job like you!!!! Great life you have down there, keep it up and enjoy what you do!. Also a great looking car, how long have you had it?

Re: The Project Havoc....
 

I've had my Chevelle since 2003 and my C10 since 2008. This is my 2nd build of the Chevelle. There was alot stuff I rushed and did on the 1st build. Also, alot of stuff I just bought and put on the car that I really didn't want on the car but was so impatient to get it on the road. So, I figured it was time to do it right and final. I'm just buying a few parts for the C10 as you can see on my build thread.

Re: The Project Havoc....
 

Well, I had room in the shop last night for Havoc, so I went out there and tried to get my new IDIDIT column in, yah right, that will happen when I redo the truck, wrong column got ordered, no return now, but I can still make it work, But I did decide to put my new steering wheel in the truck and do a little maintenance on it. While I was at it at about 1:30 this morning, I decided to cut up a stock 69' Z28 camaro hood for my pleasure and try it out, what do you guys think, should I do it?

Re: The Project Havoc....
 

maybe if you smoothed the wiper cowl...or mated it to the hood and tilted it all forward ;)

Re: The Project Havoc....
 

Someone has been reading my mind on both aspects there, are you som kind of Jedi mind trick kinda guy, or does Yoda live in your basement? LOL. However you are correct my friend.

Re: The Project Havoc....
 

that will look swet! what i would do is find some where in the middle of the length and make sure they have the same width for the amount you need and then remove it and reweld less the few inches you dont need.

Re: The Project Havoc....
 

Good idea, I did not think of that, Thanks!!!!!!

Re: The Project Havoc....
 

I think it will be sweet...... by the way love the gravity defying motor bikes lol had to do a double take :lol:

Re: The Project Havoc....
 

Sweet! Functional Cowl Hood!!!! Looks too cool!:metal:

Re: The Project Havoc....
 

Thanks, yah, needed room on the floor, well why not hang them!!! It totally works, the little 80 was my first bike, and the 72 my grandma bought new, so I just can not let them go.

I think so, however, I think when I do it, I will just do two hoods, one as this and the other one normal.

Re: The Project Havoc....
 

good idea, im a big fan of the regular hood, cowls just make a little too much statement for me. havent been dissapointed with any of your work thus far though so i'd say give'r!! haha

Re: The Project Havoc....
 

been reading your entire build, nice work!

Re: The Project Havoc....
 

Hey James.
I was driving to work this morning at the Airport here in S'toon and saw you in your truck. You didn't wave! Just kidding. How's it running these days?

PS. your PM quota is full.
