My Slow Resto 67

Put new shorty headers on it,and a new 2.5 stainless exhaust from pypes.
Also did new moroso valve covers,new carb,and a new HEI from pertronix,still the original 283.Also,new radiator,shroud,fan and fanclutch.
And rebuilt the front and rear susupension.

Got rid of the horrible package tray and put a new one in with new 6x9s.And put a new rug in,and a radio delete plate.Mounted a new radio in the universal setup they sell.Also put a new pedal kit in.Have to repic it.

And when I rebuilt the front and rear suspension,I didnt do the steering because it was still good,but Ive just bought all new Moog stuff,and a proforged centerlink.
I'll be putting them in later on though,when I buy my front disc upgrade kit.
Ill install it all together when the weather cools down.

Thanks guys.Here's a few shots of the new dash I got from OPGI via Summitracing.
And my new pedals.

I cut the new springs I put in two years ago,I have another new set to go in that are correct.Rears are correct.
Paint was done back in 1977,by the original owner.He worked for GM.He put the sport mirrors on,the SS hood,and a power antenna.
He also had the color of the car changed to that darker blue.It was the lighter blue originally.
I bought it from the 2nd owner.
The SS hood is nice,but I might put a flat hood on it when I finally redo it.
I just scored a rust free regular hood last week for 85 bucks.

Original speced springs for a Moog or one of the suppliers. Most chevelles had that slight rake up in the front from the factory. If your after a lowered factory stance than a set of lower springs or drop spindles would be better. If you use drop spindles us offset shafts to help with bump steer. I think I'm right on that. I have not touched up on that in quite a while. You can cut those factory springs to get the nose down to where you want it. I guess it depends on the stance your after. Lots of ways to get there.

Nice looking paint for that long ago!! Might be Nantucket blue or Marina Blue. Nantucket is the original color on my 67.

Flat hood would look better on a Malibu. Alot of people forget that the Malibu trim looks nice too!!

WOW! What a bargain on a flat hood!

You will need to get that black off the tail panel. That is only for SS cars I believe. Would have to check on that.

Is the side trim in good shape too?

If you used rubber bushings in the front suspension, you dont need to tighten them down until the suspension is loaded with all the weight on the tires. That can lead to the nose being pointed up because they are in a bind.

Poly bushings, you can tighten them down with the suspension hanging.

This is how its sitting currently.
