Street Machine Australia — January 2018

(Romina) #1

IT TURNED UP AND IT DIDN’T START, NONE OF THE ELECTRICS WORKED,


AND THE INTERIOR WAS HELD TOGETHER BY A FEW SCREWS


ENGINE: The engine bay is dripping
in Billet Specialties parts and custom
chromed pieces. The radiator is a custom
piece, with Maradyne thermo fans pulling
cool air at idle. Gears are clicked in a
manualised TH400 auto, running to a GM
12-bolt diff fitted with a Positraction LSD,
as was optional on big-block Chevelles
back in the day

BRAKES: Behind those epic 20in Intro
V-Rods, there’s Baer four-piston T4
calipers working on 330mm slotted and
cross-drilled Baer discs up front, with
stock drums out back

BODY: The Chevelle gets down on
RideTech ShockWave air struts in front,
with bellows-style Air Ride ’bags in
the rear and Fox shocks controlling
oscillation. The stock pressed-steel
control arms were binned in favour of
tube RideTech units, while an AccuAir
e-Level system electronically controls ride
height with three presets
