I always love the 70 Chevelle, i decide its time to make one lol
it will be kinda like this car, same color, but not a drag car, more of a street machine.
here is a bit of work on the engine. i'm waiting for my carburetor to come in the mail so until then i'll work on the body

Nice work so far James that engine has a great shine and the plug wires look good also, you may want to check the size of the 2 heater hoses going to the fire wall they look a little to thin, great work i will be looking for your updates.

Nice to see you 'going under the hood'. The style and attention to detail is pure James Tremblett. Nice

Great work so far James. Love the look of the engine and interior. The magazines and kit's boxes are very nice details.

Nice build, brotha!
One question. Where do you come up with the stickers that go on items such as the alternator and radiator shroud? I always see them on your builds and I always wonder where ya get em. Do you make them up yourself or are they sold aftermarket?
Just wondering.
