Greg and I stopped by Mike Gamble`s Rod Shop to see how the progress was coming along.... Nice! Mike and his shop do Great Work!
Now she gets all blown apart and send out for Body work and Powdercoating. I told Greg...I`m driving this to Chevel-Abration 2010....he can drive his other convertible http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
Greg, how about you jumping on this web site and telling everyone about this unique 1969 twin turbo build. Perhaps you can also post the "Paint Renderings" too.

The look of Mark`s face when he opened the box to find the Massive Air Intake was "Priceless" This thing is truly Massive. Now you can understand why the firewall was notched out.

this project started out because i have all original chevelles and decided to go pro-touring.this project has been going on almost 2 years with alot of let downs.i wanted a conv. because i love driving them with the top down.thats why i chose the Roadster shop chassis.it is beefy and the DSE front end is unreal.i have an all aluminum BBC 565 under the hood and a tko 600 5-speed.it won't handle all the horsepower the engine makes.i wanted something different under the hood so i went with twin turbos and dealt with Tom Nelson. he had just come out with the billet intake with 16 injectors inside the manifold.i thought this would be trick. the only problem it took a year longer to get the intake than it should of. this set me back a year on this car. tom is a good guy to deal with but must of bit off alittle to much.i have all the turbos mounted,3" stainless exhaust ran with rolled tips.fuel system done and everything fabricated. dan took pics after it was all disassembled and heading to the body shop. i will try and post some renderings of it.

The precision on that build is incredible! Very clean and well laid out.
Two questions I would like to ask. Do you have any supports for the turbo other than the flange it bolts to? Do you find any problems with the expansion of the SS exhaust with those fixed position hangers or is there an alloy that doesn't expand so much?
Car really looks great!

i do have another support under the turbo that connects to the down pipe.there will be expansion for sure,when we ran it on chassis dyno we didn't get alot of movement in the pipes.i spent alot of money on coatings inside and out to keep expansion down.after we were all done with the turbo mounting and down pipes another fabricator said he would have done a few different things for pipe expansion with a slip style joint. might have to do this later. greg

WOW the Fabrication work and attention to detail is incredible, obviously someone loves what they do! Very few take the time to do things right any longer.
The monochromatic shades of Gray is a very clean look.

We got the top put on, ISIS system fully installed {great system}, power windows installed and adjusted, not easy on a conv. Got the car all cleaned up and took some new pics. Waiting on the MIMOD system and then heading to the interior shop.

Thanks everyone, but Greg really deserves ALL the credit. We all know how much determination, planning, time, stress and money it takes to build such a car. It really takes the right team to build such an amazing car, I am very pleased I was able to be part of it. Greg you really out did yourself on this 1969 Chevelle, hope you enjoy it for many years!

Funny you should say that....at certain times as we were working on the Chevelle, I was shouting "Riddler"!

thanks for all the replies. mike gamble from Gambles street rods did the fabrication work and assembled and wired the car.Johns auto body crew did all the paint,body work,hood,front spoiler and mirrors and did a great job.it takes alot of different ideas from alot of different people to put something together like this.in the long run i stuck with my vision of what i thought a bad looking chevelle should be and went with it.after the interior is finished then we will see if something else needs to be added to the paint.Dan and I did put the windows in and adjust them,what a pain in the butt so most of the credit don't go to us on this one.it took 3 years to finish,should of been less than 2 but a few people held us up on parts for over a year and a half.so these cars are just as much trouble as finding that NOS part to complete your restoration. greg

The car look great. My favorite parts require the hood to be up and the car on a lift to be seen. Hopefully they do not go unnoticed when you take her out.

Thx, I got your email, I guess I did not make it back over here fast enough....lol.... Looks great, I definitely have not seen anything like that here locally.... That takes ballz to do and most guys would not step out of the mold and create something like that. I like to go to shows or meets and see different cars, not a row of cars(chevelles) that all look a like.
