Great lookin' car either way. I like the front tag. Tell us some more about the car, and of course more pictures. Cheers

its a plain janer 307 car from AZ with all original panels (NO rot ) from illinois winters!!
I replaced the 307/350 turbo with a fresh 383 with around 475hp with world pro. heads with 2.05 valves a comp 280 magnum cam,steel crank,forged flat tops with 10.5:1 cr backed by a built 350 with a shift kit and a 3000-3500 stahl conv with a fresh 12 bolt with 3:73`s with a new eaton series 4 carrier strange 30 spline axles all held in place with hotchkis boxed upper and lower control arms.
I have a set of factory buckets im recovering now to install and moving the shifter from the column to a b&m pro stick on the floor.
I pulled the sst wheels and opted for 15x8 and 15x10 ralley wheels so i could drop the rear back to a more normal ride height. here is a pic with the rallies and a fiber hood i tried out but didnt like so i replaced with the steel cowl hood i have now.

Chevelles have always been one of my favorites, the stripes and the car look great!. PG.

Really great looking car! I think you made the right hood choice.

Looks like it had A/C at one time. Are you going to reinstall?
