My Chevelle was a daily driver for a neighbor and I used to see the car everyday.  I didn’t see the car for a long time and I learned that the previous owner  completely disassembled the car to restore it, but lost interest and started parting the car out.  The car was incomplete and looked bad. I knew that the car had potential so I bought it on the cheap and I developed a plan to turn the car into a cool, modern resto-mod Chevelle. Like many projects it grew from a simple build to what you now see as an over the top “A” body.

  I worked on the car for about two years to get it to its current condition. There are numerous custom features throughout. I was asked to bring the car to the SEMA 2008 show and displayed the car in the Custom Autosound  Booth. 

This car is driven regularly in “Surf City”, Huntington Beach, Ca.

I have shown the car a few times and the car has won several awards. I hope that others with project cars are inspired to use their creativity to build a cool car that otherwise may have wound up at the crusher.

My Chevelle is fast and fun to drive.

I want to thank my family, Darryl, Peggy and my brother Nick for helping with the build of this car. I would also like to thank all the guys at D&P including Kevin, Craig, Mike, and Alex for the help on the car. Many companies helped with the build by providing products or support with this project. Those companies are listed above.

Thank-you to all who helped with this special car.
