My '69 Chevelle/Winston cup car - Page 5 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SOOOOOO BADA$$ looking. This is a killer build. I don't know if you post on there, but another great board to show this off would be Team Chevelle.

Trust me when I say this will have ink in magazines when done. It is that cool.

VA72C10 · 04-02-2012, 02:23 PM

very nice! I love the tough look. Going to be a really competitive car with all the modern technology!

I go on Team Chevelle but Ive never posted a pic of my car Im afraid it might upset the purists.....where would you post it on that site?

ink?....Popular Hot Rodding did a nice Nascar Laguna build so I sent some pics to them....the editor was all over it....its supposed to be in the August "builds" issue.

A guy from Fredricksburg Va I met online who has had many Nascars is helping me out with the car....we first had to figure out what kind of car it was...after weeks of phone and online conversations and many pics we (he) figured out it is a 1999 110" Hutch Pagan intermediate, small bar, straight rail car with a Hopkins drop snout...

What a great guy....just thinks it's a cool project.....wants nothing for his time....Virginians are the nicest people!

ps In the end Im def going to get him something for all his help...just not sure what yet...D

Its actually just black primer....I like the look but nothing is carved in stone as far as color.....I want it to run first.....I'll worry about all that at a later date, thanks for checking in....D

They have a build/project section there too. Can't say for sure if the crowd will be pissed or happy, and you can never please everyone, but I am pretty sure it will go well.

Awesome

stepside83 · 07-22-2012, 07:20 PM

this is a real cool build, looking foraward to more of it

propanemudtruck · 07-23-2012, 12:34 PM

nice build!

Car'n'Guitars · 07-23-2012, 11:38 PM

I gotta say I usually hate to see old muscle cars built into racecars but I like this one very much.

Yeah I know, it's still just a mental thing for me. But I really like the look of the old stockcars too.

884x4Sub · 07-24-2012, 11:48 PM

Well there is some stuff I could show.....the car has sort of evolved into a direction....after all kinds of thoughts about how to do the interior Ive settled on kind of "modified period correct" that is.....about as period correct as modern safety will allow. With somewhere in the neighborhood of 550hp, big brakes and 10 inch slicks it will certainly be fast enough to get me in a whole lot of trouble on a roadrace track. It will have full five point harness and the plan is to have a two or three layer suit and a Hans device for the track.....and some form of fire suppression.

Going for the big Smokey Yunick tach in the dash like the pic...use the stock dash pad and I recycled the door pads that a guy gave me. aluminum dash with old school black face autometer gauges.

884x4Sub · 07-25-2012, 12:04 AM

Yeah and used the recessed gas cap mount off the race car but instead of a dry break it has a standard non vented twist on gas cap.

Have the rear package tray/rear firewall in.....the package tray is done to stock specs....one of my best buddies owns a sign shop...I was going to get him to make me up decals of two Jensen 6x9 Triaxials and stick them back there for a joke haha...what do you guys think?....does anyone even remember what they are?

fryer1979 · 07-25-2012, 04:17 AM

I just got through this thread for the first time tonight, very, very sick build you have going on here. I love the idea of using old muscle cars for period type race cars of all kinds. There are tons of guys building street machines, and period correct show queens. I say make something kool that you just won't see another one of at a car show. I am definitely in for this one.

That would be funny. I have never seen it done, and it would be a great conversation starter for some of us "older" guys.

**N2TRUX** · 07-25-2012, 08:58 AM

Jensen's? Hell yeah! I rocked 6x9's in the deck and a pair of co-ax in the doors. I blasted them til my ears bled.

Walts_restoration · 07-25-2012, 09:39 AM

Decal idea would be awesome. Gotta get a matching 2 post on the dash decal.

That would be funny and then have a head unit decal made up and place it on the aluminum panel under the dash pad.

Pioneer Super Tuner II. Totally.

884x4Sub · 07-25-2012, 07:03 PM

I was thinking about this bad boy, the Pioneer KP 500!....I had one and at least a couple more guys I knew had them too..

I'm a card carryin' member of Team Chevelle and have a mildly modded (in comparison) 67 Malibu. We have a few purists but none of them get really obnoxious about modded Chevelles unless they were hard to find COPOs or a big block optioned out SS.

Start a build thread over there and you will get alot of support on your build.
