Branching out

Hi everyone. My name is Chris and I am a die hard Mopar guy who spent my teenage years raising hell in my buddies 70 Chevelle. Even though I own 7 Mopars, one Ford, and two Chevies, I have had a deep love for Chevelles and all types of muscle cars. Ever since i missed out on buying my buddie Chevelle years ago I have been looking for one to buy. Well in 2006 I bought my 70 malibu that I have tunred into my dream car, a Cranberry 70 Ls6 clone. I paid pretty dearly for a clean example off of Ebay. I have since pretty much restored it and actually am in the middle of restoring a spare frame for it, which I had powder coated. Up until now I pretty much drive it daily switching off with other cars. At one point I was tired of the turbo 350 leaking all over and converted it to a M21 four speed. Originally it came with a 350/350/12 bolt. I have already restored the rear end and trans and built a 700hp 496 with aluminum heads. I have restored many Mopars and now one Ford and i have to say that restoring this Chevelle has been really refreshing and fun. I recently sold my Duramax pick up and bought a 72 El Camino for my driver. So now I am going to shut up and show some pics.
