The 71 4 door

Well here it is from Rago
I traded the 73 Malibu "LeRoy" for it.

I put the buick magnums on it and got the interior gutted, gonna paint up the floors and install new carpet after I get a new windsheild in it and the leaks fixed.

kinda beasty. i like!!! SLEEPER

Think I found a fender with inner and fender extension for it.

Gonna try to get the trans out soon.

Nice work. When's the 4-5-4 goin in? Looks like the floors were pretty solid & those wheels really set the car off! Keep me updated man.

put a 307 emblem back on the fender get the plate that reads SLEEPR

dunno yet. I gotta get one built. Im trying to decide whether to do the low compression turbo 454 or the high compression nitrous'd 454

Both should run good. Thinking the turbo'd 454 would run low 11s to mid 10s maybe with the boost cranked up, still get fairly good gas mileage and cruise anywhere. Or the HC 454 will have to run race gas all the time and get crappy gas mileage and run mid to low 11s all motor and mid to low 10s on 200 shot and high 9s on 300 shot. Yes it will handle it for a while anyways. But I can always do the low compression turbo'd motor with a 100 shot, thatd be fun.

The 350 will stay in it for a while. Want to get everything sorted out and the rust fixed before anything with major power goes in it. The floors are perfect. I drilled some holes to drain the smelly muddy water out of them. It still stinks BAD in there.
Trying to get the parts together to build up the TH350 instead of putting in a TH400. Man TH350s are cheap to build compared to TH400s.

I want to do this with it but I want a sleeper look too. AHH dont know so many choices and no money!!!

i would do the deep dish in rear dog dish hubcaps on the 4 door
and the skinny's in front but have dog dish's on all four corners but thats just me tint the back windows no cowl hood like that but may a true cowl induction hood with the flapper that works and nice paint

It's a factory 350. Might as well keep it on there since the emblem wear matches the rest of the car. It would look kind of funny with a shiny 307 emblem on a dingy paint job.

Besides, if you were sitting next to it at a stoplight, would you ever pin it for anything more than cheap transportation? (other than the purr of that exhaust, right Black? )

I say go turbo, but I guess you know why. If you need help fabbing or anything just give me a ring. Of course a little 104 octane fumes might clear the air inside...

Dang. I keep posting & having to modify... That Chevelle is the reason I traded it for my Eclipse in the first place. I love that car.

BTW, when you comin to pick up the other half... You know, the good car ROTFL!

I got tired of modifying, but Limey I actually had planned on buying 2 15x8 or 15x10 Nova rallies for the back to match the front. That would be a real sleeper. Everybody's done the dog dish cap, who's done Nova Rallies? Of course, I kept the rallies though. If I don't end up with some wheels in about a week or so, I'm gonna have to buy some tires for them cause I got 2 slipped belts & don't want to waste money putting tires on the mismatched junk I'm running.

well let me know if your not gonna take them keystones from johnny for he will be here in june and if you dont want them i do

Will do. He's supposed to be sending me some better pics & a price. If I can scrape up some cash, I'll probably get them. It's kind of hard to tell if those are Keystone Klassics or the Cragar S/S knockoffs from the pic in the thread though.

Yea I need to come get that. Hey do you think you can pull it out of that hole and infront of your dads shop with the tractor or something? Dont want to go through that mess agian. That was a nightmare.
The winch is fixed LOL that sucked as well.

I think ill put the flapper cowl induction hood on my 70 and then take the stock SS dome hood and put it on the 4 door.

Rago, How long did you have it for? and were you the one that attempted to remove the passengers fender?
