There’s something about a ’70 Chevelle that just never gets old. The goal with this build was to keep everything that makes these cars iconic while improving the stance, handling, braking, comfort and drivability from front to back.
Underneath, we started with a Speedtech Performance chassis stiffener kit and Ridetech suspension with coilovers, giving the Chevelle a much more modern feel without taking away from what the car is supposed to be. Wilwood Disc Brakes, a Master Power Brakes master cylinder and all-stainless brake lines handle the stopping duties.
The stance is finished off with FORGELINE wheels wrapped in Nitto Tire USA.
Under the hood, Chevrolet Performance 502 crate motor for power along with a custom-grind camshaft gives this Chevelle the sound and attitude it deserves. It is cooled by a DeWitts Radiator system. An ATM Innovation carb, Holley fuel system and serpentine belt system, and MSD Performance ignition round out the package. All that awesome sound exits through a complete Stainless Works headers and exhaust system.
Power is sent through a Silver Sport Transmissions supplied TKX system backed by a McLeod Clutches hydraulic clutch setup, making this car just as enjoyable to drive as it is to look at. All that power is sent thru the original 12 bolt filled with parts from Quick Performance.
Inside, we added Dakota Digital gauges, fan controller and GPS speedo. Distinctive Industries bucket seats, Vintage Air, American Autowire wiring, a completely hidden Kicker sound system controlled by a Custom Autosound head unit and Nu-relics power windows round out the interior. The custom trunk enclosure was done in house. Our great friends at Speed & Design helped us finish out the upholstery work.
The body received all-new sheet metal and glass supplied by Auto Metal Direct, followed by a show-quality finish in Surventis Refinish NA BASF Torch Red all done in house. A boatload of parts and pieces supplied by Muscle Car Central. All of the chrome and stainless was refinished by S & H Chrome Plating & Powder Coating, Inc., while American Armor Coatings handled all of the powder coating throughout the build.
It takes a lot of hours, a lot of details and some great companies and craftsmen to bring a complete build like this together. We appreciate everyone who had a hand in helping us turn this ’70 Chevelle into the finished car you see today.
