Re: Part #2... 1969 Twin Turbo Chevelle Project

The precision on that build is incredible! Very clean and well laid out.

Two questions I would like to ask. Do you have any supports for the turbo other than the flange it bolts to? Do you find any problems with the expansion of the SS exhaust with those fixed position hangers or is there an alloy that doesn't expand so much?

Car really looks great!

i do have another support under the turbo that connects to the down pipe.there will be expansion for sure,when we ran it on chassis dyno we didn't get alot of movement in the pipes.i spent alot of money on coatings inside and out to keep expansion down.after we were all done with the turbo mounting and down pipes another fabricator said he would have done a few different things for pipe expansion with a slip style joint. might have to do this later. greg

WOW the Fabrication work and attention to detail is incredible, obviously someone loves what they do! Very few take the time to do things right any longer.

The monochromatic shades of Gray is a very clean look.

An Absolute Work of ART! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Thanks everyone, but Greg really deserves ALL the credit. We all know how much determination, planning, time, stress and money it takes to build such a car. It really takes the right team to build such an amazing car, I am very pleased I was able to be part of it. Greg you really out did yourself on this 1969 Chevelle, hope you enjoy it for many years!

Bill,

Funny you should say that....at certain times as we were working on the Chevelle, I was shouting "Riddler"!

Re: Part #2... 1969 Twin Turbo Chevelle Project

thanks for all the replies. mike gamble from Gambles street rods did the fabrication work and assembled and wired the car.Johns auto body crew did all the paint,body work,hood,front spoiler and mirrors and did a great job.it takes alot of different ideas from alot of different people to put something together like this.in the long run i stuck with my vision of what i thought a bad looking chevelle should be and went with it.after the interior is finished then we will see if something else needs to be added to the paint.Dan and I did put the windows in and adjust them,what a pain in the butt so most of the credit don't go to us on this one.it took 3 years to finish,should of been less than 2 but a few people held us up on parts for over a year and a half.so these cars are just as much trouble as finding that NOS part to complete your restoration. greg

The car look great. My favorite parts require the hood to be up and the car on a lift to be seen. Hopefully they do not go unnoticed when you take her out.

Thx, I got your email, I guess I did not make it back over here fast enough....lol.... Looks great, I definitely have not seen anything like that here locally.... That takes ballz to do and most guys would not step out of the mold and create something like that. I like to go to shows or meets and see different cars, not a row of cars(chevelles) that all look a like.

And I appreciate that you picked a '69 Chevelle as they are not often customized like Camaros and '70 Chevelles.

Beautiful ride.
