Thanks! I really liked the factory SS 14" wheel and would have loved to keep them on the car but with the new motor there was no way I would ever even dream of getting traction. The 15x10 isn't too bad. I think it will grow on me once I get the car back on the ground and start driving it again.

It has definitely been quite a project!

Thanks guys! I have loved the Chevelle since I was a kid and get excited every time I see mine! I guess the day that feeling wears off will be the day I stop pouring time and money into it (so hopefully never?)

Thanks! The diff cover not only looks "beefy" but is also functional. With the power this car will be putting to the pavement having the extra main cap support can't hurt. With a stock rear spring/ride height you can't really see the diff cover unless it is on a lift anyway.

The front A-Arms are not on yet. That'll happen once the car goes back to the shop. I'll be sure to take pictures though!

She is looking great! I really like the rally wheels. I might pick up a set and swap them back and forth with my centerlines when I want a change. Great work!!

Thanks, I think once the car is on the ground I will appreciate the new wheels and stance. I will likely pick me up something else to swap on for those occasional track days though.

New calipers came in this afternoon. It will be a shame to hide these things behind the SS wheels. A little "flashy" for what I have tried to keep as an otherwise stock appearing car but I think I like them. They will still be visible to the trained eye
