Hey fellow chevelle enthusiasts! I have just purchased my first classic car. 1972 Chevelle with a 307 and 3 speed powerglide. Im planning on doing most of the work myself to cut down on costs.. interior is basically done, needs only rear quarters and a paint after the repairs. easiest bolt on power additions? any good tips? have 1970 SS wheels and new tires going on next week, will post pics soon!
72Chevelle307
Heres what she looks like now.. temporarily painted the SS Stripes on, body panels on order and the tear down will start next fall, for now the 307 will get some cheap upgrades and next fall i will drop in a rebuilt high performance 350! Cant wait till the snow is gone and i can finally drive again!
Alright... so i ordered a Comp Cams kit with an Xtreme Energy Cam (XE262H), Edelbrock RPM performer Intake Manifold (7101) and im getting a 4 bbl Carb, Also gutted the interior and refinished the whole thing! Painted Black SS Stripes, Painted the Hood underside, hinges, and some of the engine bay, just waiting to pull the engine then ill finish that up! Tires are finally ordered.. 245/60r14 Radial T/As on the steel 1970 SS rims... and hopefully the snow melts! So anyone in Edmonton Alberta area, willing to give me an opinion on some body work... 
Thanks everyone!!
Thanks everyone!!You are on the right track.
When selecting a cam look at the description the manufacturer supplies along with the specifications. The name brand cam manufacturers will list operating range, idle quality, recommended gear ratio, etc. If you pay attention to their description and are realistic as to your intended use you will be fine.

Well heres what she looked like at the end of last Summer.. Did some searching and turns out its a Turbo 350 trans, Not the Power glide... so it has new exhaust, I'm getting headers this spring! Getting my new 245/60r14 BF Goodrich Radial T/As mounted on my 1970 Chevelle SS rims.:hurray: This might be a newb question, but how does one even start to choose the right cam for my car? Id like to give it a bit more low end torque.. Please help me
Heres a picture of what it looked like after paint restorer and wax, so fair I've sanded and repainted the grille black to give it a more SS look, grinded and undercoated the undercarriage, re built the back speaker shelf from particle board and black vinyl, got both front and rear SS emblems and am waiting on 245/60r14 BFG Radial T/As to putt n my 70 SS rims, planning on doing the rear quarter replacement this winter, sanding the whole body, pulling the couple dents, new intake manifold and a cam kit, and then hopefully repaint next summer.
