Re: My 68' chevelle baldwin motion L88 re-creation
 

That looks awesome!

Re: My 68' chevelle baldwin motion L88 re-creation
 

great rebuild

Re: My 68' chevelle baldwin motion L88 re-creation
 

Agreed, that looks amazing. Are you going to do some Day 2 wheels or keep the poverty caps and steelies?

Re: My 68' chevelle baldwin motion L88 re-creation
 

Are you going to put the insert in the scoop or leave it as is? Looks great by the way.

Re: My 68' chevelle baldwin motion L88 re-creation
 

Well....... i bought a orig insert in the gm box and it doesn't fit! Dam and im not reworking the hood so i was thinking of doing a satin black in the insert. Any other ideas??

Re: My 68' chevelle baldwin motion L88 re-creation
 

Satin black would be OK or find someone that is good with an airbrush and duplicate the chrome insert with paint. TAZ

Sounds like it has the potential to surprise some stoplight bandits. Nice work.

Nice side shot of car with lower body paint, think I'm going to keep the poverty cap look( wolf in sheeps clothing)

Re: My 68' chevelle baldwin motion L88 re-creation
 

Awesome car! I've never seen a sheep with a stinger hood. Just sayin.

Re: My 68' chevelle baldwin motion L88 re-creation
 

It's a sheep with a BAAAAADDD attitude

Re: My 68' chevelle baldwin motion L88 re-creation
 

I've always been a big '68 Chevelle fan since I owned one BITD. I love the uniqueness of them with the offset grill and rolling tach. Yours look killer, nice job.

This Car is @#%#ing Awesome,,, [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

It's been awhile but finally got back to finishing up what I started, pulled the 12 bolt and installed a new Yukon center and a 3.90 gear set along with rear discs to help stop

Ha! Only 598 hp and 600ft.... I can see why you had to upsize to the 565. What'd it make?

The 565 made 672 hp 700 ft on pump gas..... had to ad a vacuume pump to keep my power brakes

Short vid of it running
https://youtu.be/INZPd8pbqN0

Tried to watch the video, but this came up:
"This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated."

Sorry cant figure out what happened,dam interweb

Thats decent. I built a 565 Dart a couple years ago and it made 713hp & 732tq on 10:5 compression with a Bullet solid roller in it. It was a mitt-full to hang on to when you mashed the go fast pedal.

Nice work on the Chevelle. :)

https://youtu.be/INZPd8pbqN0
Try this it worked for me

Oh... its a handfull alright with 700ft at 3500 rpm on bf goodrich redlines

Yes, that Youtube link worked. Car looks and sounds great.

Just received my nitto drag radials from diamondback they look great! Stay tuned for pics on the car

What size are the drag radials and what size wheels are ou putting them on?
