need some advice
 

hi everybody i am 14 and i just purchased a 69 chevelle last saturday and i will have it at my house near the end of this month and i plan to put a 350 small block in it and it is going to take a lot of time to get it going and i was wondering if any of you guys had any ideas?

Welcome to the site. Congratulations, sounds like you've scored a cool car. We are all full of ideas around here. You ought to post some pics, and let us know some of your intentions with the car, and we can come up with all sorts of different directions you can go.

Hey man cool car. And as far as "taking alot of time to get it going" ... hey thats the fun of it!

Back off when you get burned out or if working on it interfers with school or a paying job .... both should come first.

The biggest thing I can think of, and it sounds cheesy, but after you get it running do not (underline that!) drive it on the road until you have insurance and a license. Sh*t happens, and no one thinks bad things will happen to them but it sometimes does. I am not BSing on this!

Enjoy your car, visualize now how you want it to turn out (but keep a open mind for change) and keep an eagle eye out for the parts to accomplish that. Good deals can be had with patience! You'll have a blast.

Good luck and take alot of pictures for looking back later and feel free to post a few here.

Hi Tobe,nice to have you here!Waving

hey thanks every body for your posts :) i plan to make it a garnish red or a deeper blue with black racing stripes. i want to put a 350 small block in it and i want it to have around 400 horse power in it, me and my dad are going to build the engine and we have a guy we know for the body work. i want to have it done in about 2 or 3 years. so do you know any websites that i could look on to find parts?

Red or blue huh? That sounds great. I like both. :D 400 horses out of a smallblock is very easily do-able.

Welcome Tobe. My only suggestion is to do it the way you want to do it. Don't let anyone talk you into something that you don't want.

Don't forget to post some pics when you get the car. We love all pics !

14 and bought a Chevelle, now that is cool. Welcome Tobe, our youngest member.

trueconnections.com and npdlink.com are couple more for new parts and of course summitracing.com and jegs.com for engine and suspension stuff. Craigslist is also a good source for used parts. Ebay too if you're careful and know what you're looking at,

haha thanks everybody who posted sites for me to look at for parts. and well i noticed that you all were saying tobe, haha well the tobe is actually to be, haha

Well you have to give us a name to work with or we'll make up what ever we want. :D
