    Love it! I'm in the process of making my 70 chevelle a summer, fall, and spring daily driver. Restomod and I dont care about the MPG it pays for it in smiles.

    I have put 10k miles on my 65 El Camino in less than a year. It has the OG drive train in it and I have done 500 mile trips in 1 day with no problem. The modern drive trains are really nice but you can still do it with all the old school stuff. I dig the 70 Man its B I T C H I N !

    Please tell us what everyone wants to know. What are the tire, wheel, and suspension specs? Personally it's the best I've seen on a 70 Chevelle and I'd like to get mine like that too! Great work! Thanks!

    What a great 70 Chevelle, you have done your car the right way, doing the break in and troubleshooting the car first.. that is the sign of a reliable really nice show/driver car. The trip looked like an amazing time based on the grin and the cars that accompanied you, really nice car! Best of luck with it, I am trying get an idea of what type of cost it was for your build, I know it’s personal was it it your original car you supplied or they got it for you but I’m figuring the car is approximately $125-150k total to complete, either way best of luck with it...enjoy the miles !

    Was Suspension done to if so Does it ride like a modern car??

    • @RoadsterShop
      @RoadsterShop  4 роки тому

      All of our chassis come with upgraded suspension geometry so using stock components is not an option. We engineer and tune dampers for our chassis to provide the most performance and comfort we can for each car. So, yes, it will ride like a modern sports car. Check out the other videos we've recently loaded with the '68 Mustang and the El Camino. Those will give you a good idea of how sporty the cars are.

    Bitching ride! I’m working on one rite now...I’m looking for an instrument cluster that looks original but will work with the LS conversation that I did. Mine is silver with black rally stripes...Love this wheels you installed. They give it that original look but if you know cars. You know that they are a new version of the originals.
