Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Nice work, man. The skill of some people truly amazes me. Link to comment
Fivezero[TX] Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 Look what I got to do the other day! This thing is starting to look like a muscle car now! Those fenders were probably sitting about 2 inches lower than in this pic (thanks new springs). It no longer looks worn out. Oh and the straightened frame really made everything fit much better too, doors aren't catching the fenders, fenders aren't super high in the air, etc. Been spending the last couple days putting stuff back together. Just a few more things to knock out today and she'll be ready for an alignment and my new wheels. :D The only big thing left to do is to rebuild the carburetor and then it is drivable again.

Fivezero[TX] Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Before: After: Wow, does this thing look like a muscle car again! And drives like it too, rebuilt the carburetor and that thing just wants to GO!!!! Not to mention the suspension rides better, she shifts better, she's just better. Only thing left to do is to get a wheel alignment on it and really have some fun before winter. Fivezero :D Link to comment

Griffin-X[501st] Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 This thread reminds me of "Fast and Loud". I dig what you have done and nice work Ty! Link to comment
Fivezero[TX] Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 So, exactly one year after I bought my Chevelle, this is what my dad buys... I think he may have been slightly jealous about my car....... A 1972 Buick Skylark, so we now have 2 GM A-Body cars. Fivezero Link to comment

Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 What is all that white stuff on the ground? Link to comment
mr0072003[501st] Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 LOL. about your pops... Great car and awesome work. My dad is a mechanic and that is some hard work you pulled of. Nice Job! Link to comment
Fivezero[TX] Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 What is all that white stuff on the ground? It's this stuff called snow, surprisingly most of the people here don't know what it is either and freak out every time it snows and drive like incompetent idiots (even though it snows EVERY year). Ah, Michigan... Also thought I'd update you guys on the Chevelle, well she's parked (Winter).... But come spring I'm getting a new carburetor (so she starts and runs even better). I also have some electrical things to sort, got pulled over in August (first time I ever got pulled over!) since my taillights were out). Then it's on to fixing some exterior rust, new floors, new interior, then paint! Would be cool if I got it all done this summer! Fivezero Link to comment
izzi[TX] Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 You should make me a car... Link to comment
Master Tej Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 The izzi-mobile? - Master Tej - Link to comment
Fivezero[TX] Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 You should make me a car... Sorry izzi, but this is going to be my first and ONLY car I restore. It's a lot of work (which I don't mind), but it's a lot of money (which I do mind). It's a fun process, but it will probably be a once in a lifetime deal for me. Although an izzi-mobile would be fun.......... Fivezero Link to comment
Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 It's a fun process, but it will probably be a once in a lifetime deal for me. Don't say that, you have a lifetime left to blow your money on expensive projects Link to comment

Fivezero[TX] Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Realized in my tired state, that my last post didn't exactly say what I wanted to. Let me try again... This is going to be the first and last "CAR" I restore, I have plans for...much bigger...toys There isn't another car I want to restore, so that's what I meant by once in a lifetime, woot exhaustion!!

Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 With that yard, they might already have one Izzi. Link to comment

Fivezero[TX] Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Also worked on the Chevelle a bit! Got a new grille and turn signal lenses for my birthday. I put them on once the weather got nice to paint and the front end looks much better now. Oh and got all of the electrical bugs I had with it sorted out (40+ year old wiring = lots of shorts and blown fuses ) Link to comment
Master Tej Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 That was one of the biggest things I noticed on it when you were restoring it, the busted grille, and that new grille looks fantastic! - Master Tej - Link to comment
