Alot of work the car came out looking great

PolarBear 12-26-2012 07:04 AM

Thats really cool

Jersey Mike 12-26-2012 07:21 AM

That's definitely not your run of the mill A-Body! That was a fun read to start the morning off. Thanks for sharing!

sweetbmxrider 12-26-2012 07:42 AM

Wow, that car was a wreck before. Came out great.

..give me masking tape, a hack saw, 3 seasons of macGyver and i'll turn out something cool.......lol......car is amazing. Love the extended lower rockers to bring it all together.

Killer build took a minute to figure out what was going on at first, but hell of an attempt.

WayFast84 12-26-2012 10:44 AM

That Chevelle was trash I can't even believe it.

Squirrel 12-26-2012 07:17 PM

I respect all the hard work and everything, but if you didnt know any better you would just assume it was a restored chevelle with an ls1... just to me it seems like too much work just to have it look like every other car at a show

the difference is in the drive most likely. driving old chevelles arent that much fun. they feel like school busses. this one would most likely be the best driving chevelle out there :D

True, but pro-tourers dont use stock stuff either lol

Lt1_8U 12-27-2012 10:59 AM

amazing work but if im sitting in a chevelle, id rather feel like im driving a classic muscle car than a new age sports car.

1320B4U 12-27-2012 11:34 AM

This is the best of both worlds...ride quality, reliability, ease of maintanence and off the shelf parts of a production car, yet the looks of yester-year muscle. I get leaving a stock car stock but for folks that want the best of the best, this thing would serve that purpose. Probably started out as, 'lets see if we can do it and to what extreme'.....they succeeded. Easier way to go about it but this was cool to see.

I would strongly disagree. Any gearhead worth anything would take one look at that car and see all the work that went into it just from the rear seat "delete" and the stuff under the hood.

Some people just build cars because they enjoy to build....or build them to enjoy to drive. It isn't always about impressing everyone else. They are cars, after all.

Squirrel 12-27-2012 02:15 PM

I understand everyones feelings, but i just see it as any other pro-tourer, which went out of style several years ago

Lt1_8U 12-27-2012 02:28 PM

It was all with left over parts and a parts car. Two guys that were bored, had time, cash and an idea lol.

1320B4U 12-27-2012 02:35 PM

Pro-touring went out of style???? Whats in style now? ....i'm lost.

Yeah, I too would like to know. Did "rice" come back in style?

Mike 12-27-2012 03:27 PM

Someone is thinking of pro-street

Same here. Pro tour has been around since the 80s.

Squirrel 12-27-2012 05:19 PM

Well i would put pro-tourers in the same category as these, the overdone/used category

You may be right there...just add the multi color scallop paint scheme. Putting bigger brakes, a lowered stance, taller and wider wheels and modern amenities like fuel injection shouldn't go outta style imo.

Yeah, that wheel is played out and I think all wheels that look similar to this are hideous, people like what they like, IMO thats just a "Crager" and was never a good looking wheel. but that has nothing to do with the pro-touring "went out of style"


I think this sums up pro-touring and it will never go out of style
