Cloning a notorious car from the past.
 

In high school I built a '64 Chevelle two door hard top Malibu. Apparently, I got into more trouble than I realized. I posted up a picture and was shocked at how many people remember that car.

I just bought a '64 SS to clone the original car I should have NEVER sold. This one has all the same speed parts as the first one. (which were REALLY hard to dig up) Anyway, here's the new car. It's very solid and it shouldn't take long to get looking great. Did I tell you I own a hotrod shop?

And here's what it'll look like when it's done. (minus the stripes, it's not 1990 anymore)

Welcome .....

I am drooling right now.

Thanks! I can't wait until I get this ready for paint.

The interior looks great. So what are your plans for the car ?

Thats going to be a killer ride.

Looks like a fun project. Keep us posted on your progress.

I'm building a 327 for it like the one I built for the first car. I'm building a Th400 and a 3.55 posi also. This car can fit the whole family, (three girls) so it should be fun to use. I plan on driving the wheels off it.

I love it when people build the car to drive. I understand that there are some cars that are so rare that to drive it would be crazy. But for people like me who don't have numbers matching, I built it to drive and it is great to hear that you are.

Im all for driving ours on a rare occasion ,glad to have another driver. Im pretty sure thats what the General had in mind when they were new .

flash you drive your car, or should I say Joan's car all over the place.

We have been known to drive a few miles each year ,we leave for Maine in about 3 weeks.

Then about 3 weeks after that we go to Mississippi for a week of Cruisin The Coast. Boy our credit card company is going to like us.

Very nice Chevelle. Where is your speed shop? I live near Ft. Leonard Wood.

Go down 44 towards Springfield. Hang a left on 65 south and go down to Ozark. Hang another left on highway 14 and go back east for 8 miles. I'm in Sparta, Mo.

Thats not too far. Whats the name of your shop? I've been looking for a good speed shop. Do you know of anymore in the area? I've only been in MO for a year and 7 months of it I've been in the box. I appreciate it.
