Thanks, David! I’m having so much fun building again!
Thanks, Bob! I want to say that this car was summer of 1976...In 1975 we had a 1968 Chevelle, orange with a black vinyl top that sat way too high in the front, looked like a whale taking a dump, lol!!! It didn’t work very well at all. Just a stock 396 with an L88 427 cam, nothing great! The biggest problem was that John couldn’t drive, pretty much clueless and I think scared of it!!! I stuck it out because I wanted to be involved so badly...The 70 Chevelle was built on a tri five Chevy chassis from scratch. It was painted white with blue SS stripes, #27 with an orange Nesbitts Bottling sponsorship! It was a sweet looking car and I believe was competitive with a 427 that year! Once again, needed a real driver. John ended up stuffing it in the wall in Cedar Rapids and bent the frame pretty good. I don’t know what ever became of it but I think it could have been put on a frame machine and fixed! I’m considering getting some decals done and changing up this car to represent a true late model from Hawkeye Downs since I’ve already put a quick change in it...just need to figure out who’s car it will be.
The guys at the speed shop made a little more progress today and got the engine and tranny and driveshaft fitted! Great progress! Here’s a few more pictures and thanks for looking!!!
