Larry began the work by pulling the body off the frame and restoring the chassis. It’s been cleaned and painted, and he installed a complete RideTech air suspension system including their Strong Arm tubular control arms.
New disc brakes were used to help the Chevelle stop, and all new brake and fuel lines were added as well. The steering linkage has all been refreshed.
The engine is a warmed-over 396 featuring Brodix heads, and aluminum intake and a mild cam, and it’s hooked to a Richmond 5-speed manual transmission.
