I have a 72 thats started out as a SS clone. I intended on redoing it as a SS clone again. Red with black stripes. After stewing on it for a while I have came up with several reasons not to do it back to a clone SS. I have a bench seat, sweep speedo, column shift, 307ci, 10 bolt rear end, etc, etc. I would spend a small fourtune trying to make it look "proper SS" and then theres the fact that there are lots of red/black SS's out there already.
I then came across info on the Heavy Chevy option for 71/72 Chevelles. I really like the graphics and also dig that you could get the HC package with the 307, bench seat, sweep speedo. Parts I am going to reuse to save money. The HC seems much more rare than the SS now adays. I havent ran into anybody that was familiar with a HC Chevelle.
If the car is going to be cloned. I figure I might as well clone it to the type of vehicle it most closely represents. Plus I can save $ on no new chrome drip rails and wheel well opening moldings. I really dig the fact that they had the raised hood like the cowl induction. As the car I have came with this style hood brand new. And I was wanting to install the hood pins as well already.
I even found several places selling the graphic package. Are they all factory correct style? What do yall think of the idea? I would still do it red with black graphics. Any pictures of a HC in red?
