I would love to do a close up inspection. I noticed the dash treatment- looks like filler pads on the outside edges. I wonder how much else was done to make this work. The car looks great from the pics, though!

It looks pretty cool, that wold sure be a challange to get the door panels and dash corners to look right...nice 68 Chevelle.

As for Chevettes I put hundreds of thousands of miles on them in the 80 for my commuter cars.. They were cheap & easy to maintain

All they really needed was a little extra juice!

After all the time and money that obviously went into that car, they could have easily picked some more attractive wheels.

Cool car, does it even have a rear seat?
Nope...no rear seat...

BTW, I got a chuckle out of the sign on the Rolls. They say it won't ever go down in value, yet they'd reduced the price down to $20,000 from $25,500.

And SIGNGUY, that was a great set-up you had.....



Well...thank you! And thanx for posting the pic!
I noticed that sign on the Rolls too and it also got a chuckle out of me too

Of course, he's done a lot to make it non stock, so a few other things won't matter.

Definitely 68 front and rear ends.
I asked about the fuel door and it is the 07 Vette door...
