I had my Chevelle detailed and waxed... this is the cleanest its been since I got it restored.

The inside Driver side door panel lining has started to peel away...

The seats, headliner, and carpet were all replaced by the original owned so they are like 5 years old the dash, and door panels need replacement but they look ok.

oh man, I don't know if I'd get rid of the numbers matching aspects, even for a dmax chevelle. Find a roller if you wanna do that and put whatever drivtrain you want in it. Taking the numbers matching powertrane out in favor of a dmax would surely lower the value of the car??? Just don't think I would do that conversion with that particular car.

If you just HAVE to do the conversion with that car, KEEP the #s matching stuff and don't hack the car up so that you can put it back to #s matching condition in the event you ever decided to sell it.


It is very nice looking!!

Just buy the one from Sac. Chevelle/LB7! That thing could be so much faster then it is, the guy has no idea.

Chances are the Chevelle will stay 100% stock it is just a fun notion(sp?) to think about I will have my truck much faster than it is before the Chevelle gets a new powerplant

I'm a huge fan of the Duramax, and you guys may laugh me off the board, but I just don't understand why people want to put any diesel in a classic car. It's cool and all, but I would much rather see a blown big block or something if someone is going to put a non-stock engine in something like that. Now putting a hot-rodded diesel in an old pickup, that's a whole other story.

Oh yeah, the car looks great, Nick. I love it. Makes me want to get to work restoring my dad's '66 Impala SS 396 4 speed car (factory air too :cool:).

I had it restored about 4 years ago took 7 months IIRC new rear quarter's, new front fender's, new vinyl top, new truck lid, and new hood. Door skins were saved and reworked a little. Obviously new paint, new correct SS stripping, new chrome pieces. It is still a work in progress:D
