Hey guys. Just wanted to pop in and post up some pictures of a project we're working on. This is a 1967 Chevelle that has a 509 BBC that we are putting a twin turbo system on, making roughly 1500HP. It is getting a Schwartz Performance full roller chassis with 14in Baer brake upgrade, Vintage Air climate controls, RideTech air ride system, BeCool radiator, TEC3 EMS among other things.

On to the pics though.....

How we got the "restored" Chevelle. Looks good right?

The last 6 are hosted at ImageShack because they were taken today and have not been uploaded to our site yet.

Just a FYI!

Now that is a project....I really like the newer Camaro wheels on the early Chevelles.

None of the wheels shown are the final wheels. Right now they're covered in padding to protect them, but I'll get pics when I can.

I like the role bar.Or is it a cage?Is it a kit or you custom bend it?

Ryne@Schwartz
06-13-2010, 06:41 PM
It's a kit that we got for this. We don't have the ability to do those bends, just normal cages.

Absolutely Love what you have done with the Twin Turbo`s!! Always been a fan of Turbo`s from way back in the Seventies. Had a good friend that worked for Mark Williams back in the day we did a 67 Nova 370 Twin turbo. Yikes!!!

WOW ,what a build .Cant wait to see more .

Thanks! As of now, the car is waiting to go to paint. The above shots showing the custom front spoiler were taken last week. It should head to paint next week.

Once it's painted, the interior will go back in, and then all the small detail stuff will be tackled.
