I love it
Well finally got the old bomb home a couple weeks ago. Did some checking, need a new wiper switch. As well gonna wire in a auxiliary fuse box for all the extra stuff that has been added in.
Prob have put 150-175 miles on it already, forgot how nice it is to drive
Did our engagement pictures Friday. Got a little preview of them, figured I can toss er up. Is any one able to zoom in and check my shirt out?!

It's on or off, it's a great time!!!! Should have put hydrualic setup in it lol
Well another summer has come and gone, didn't go to near as many car shows as I would have liked to.
Still managed to put on a touch over a 1000 miles.
Waxed it up and put it away for the winter, up on the list for next year will be fix the wipers/add auxiliary fuse panel to power my accessories.

I sure do like that car.
Can I have it yet?
Trade yeah for your k5......
Figured I’d give a update on the ChevelleKanuck5 Beaumont build.
About the only thing that’s changed is the tailpipes fell off....after I cut them off. Dumped them behind the rear tires. Gives it a cleaner look IMO.
Moved into the big city at the end of 2017, so I’ve found myself driving the car more. I’d been questioning why I still had it up until this fall, than I’d managed to get a couple hundred miles on and it brought back that old familiar feel and enjoyment I used to get out of it.
Got a couple small tricks up my sleeve for next year yet

I didn't know you had a build thread.. to bad the pictures don't work anymore...
Yeah I uploaded them off Fb originaly.
There’s been a fair amount of work done to the car since I’ve had it. Had the body up off the frame in the driveway, all kinds of fun stuff eh.
Changed drivers floor pan, patched passenger side, fixed up inner rockers, trunk drops, part of the wheel tubs. That was about the majority of the metal replacement that I did, and that was all within the first year of owning the car.
It had a diamond pleat interior, to match its street machine exterior. Also had a 70s 350/churbski 350 puttin power through a 8.2 10 bolt with 3.08 gears.
Replaced it with a 97 vortec motor, knocked out to a 383 with a good sized roller cam. Ended up swapping the slush box for a tremec tko600. As well as swapping in another 8.2 with 373 gears. Blew up a lock right, than swapped it to a eaton posi. Also fired in 10 factory axle shafts and an TA diff girdle at the same time as the tremec swap.
Car’s got poly bushings through out all suspension bits, gen 2 trans am sway bar up front. Stock replacement rear sway bar with boxed lowers and uppers. The rears also got QA1 no hops, solved my wheel hop which is most likely what blew the lock right up It’s also got kyb shocks all around, the rear has been lowered 1.5” or so via cut coils.
Swapped manual drums to power disc up front.
As far as the paint and body goes. I stripped it to bare metal. And a family friend did the rest of it. It’s by no means a show car, but it looks pretty damn good for what it is. In all reality it should
Have quarters, doors, trunk, fenders and well a rotisserie
Interior was replaced with reproduction bits. Rear bench seat was recovered with a re-pop cover. Front bench had a custom cover made by a family friend, it came from a 71 cutty. Hence why it has head rests.
Towed the car home from the body shop on a nice typical cold canuckistanian day. My buddy had kicked the car outta his shop for a week. So we said to heck with it and towed it a few miles to my parents house.
And finally the last pic in this set was on its maiden voyage to a Easter weekend car show a hundred miles away. It was still like winter, and I raced a snowstorm to make it to the show. We got about 6-8” of heavy wet white stuff not long after I had made the hundred mile trip.
I’ll upload a few pics again I guess. Gives a guy an idear of how it’s come along.
A few more random pics.
The old mill with its mr gasket dressup kit.
Whoever built the car originally built some rear coil spacers out of what appears to be exhaust pipe.
The new mill not long after it was swapped in.
The rear end that was in it was on its last legs. Had to cut the Center pin as it had galled up so bad. Maybe one or two to many brake torques over the years?
Post tremec swap. Had to cut a fair bit of the original sheet metal. Didn’t buy the offset shifter fwiw.
The car had a 4 speed in it at one time. I’m sure if it could talk it would share some good stories.
