Here is my 73 chevelle Hi every one.

Hi another newbie here. LOL My name is Jedediah I have owned my newest car a 73 chevelle for three months now. I didnt know what i was getting for a $1000 at the time. All I knew was i was getting a chevelle and it had some custom body work done. I later learned it wasnt done right i plan to right that. She has alot of rust but i plan to not let this one go to the crusher. In the short time i have had my car i have put a new rpm intake with a demon carb on top. As well as a new distributor. Had a hard time with the old one so threw it in the garage and start with one not molested. I believe i have sbc 350 in my chevelle 350 turbo. Any tips on how to get interior for my would be great.
Thanks here some pics





this in the day i got her home.

Welcome. Nice chevelle. You have a good place to start there. Good luck.

wow I really like the tail panel / bumper delete thats a cool touch and the flame job is real nice touch and wait take some more pics of that front bumper that is cool touch as well........Had to look twice at it

Ya i like the look but i dont like the way they did it bondo and aluminium i think i want to redo it with a stock bumper so it with be all steel but look the same. Here is another pic cant find my pics of the rusted out trunk thanks for the compliments.

Welcome Jedediah. Looks like you have a better than average starting platform. Good luck. JB

Welcome.

Welcome to the forum & thanks for posting pics! IMHO, the rear looks pretty cool, but I'm thinking the front bumper is too tall for my taste. Good idea to go back to a stock bumper instead. From the looks of it, someone really put some thought into the tribal flames.

Welcome! Always awesome to have another 73-77 GM Mid-size from the Pacific NW.

Hey i wanted to thank all of you guys. I am sure we all have every one around us telling us we are wasting our time with these 73-77's. It is nice to find so many with knowledge and know how on these cars. I was really getting frustated on the lack of parts and info for my car.

Let 'em pull up beside me at a red light, I will change their mind. I built my Elky with sleeper mode in mind. JB

Welcome! I'm kind of a new guy here too. I had a '73 Chevelle coupe in the late 70s. It was a really plain-jane basic car, with no tinted glass, rubber floor mats (no carpet) straight stick six cylinder when I bought it. And no radio either! An old man owned it since new.
You have a good car to work with it seems, so have some fun!!
I have a '74 Malibu that I've had since 1990.

Welcome looks like a nice car man good luck i hope it turns out the way you want it

oh i remember seein that on craigslist, the price oh man what a steal!

wee on that interior part search, sorry but right now u will not find door panels they only make 74-77 laguna and 73 SS for some reason or a dash or seats new. but you can get shifter parts, carpet, heaadliners, switches, window rollers, rear decks and small things from OPGI.com or paddock parts at good prices.

and if that hood is from a dealer like vfn or harwood not homemade you payed for that basically, because the cheapest cowl hood for a 73 is like $400 and they want another 200-600 to ship depending on location and who is shipping it!
