One thing led to another, and it turned into going as far as taking the body off the Chevelle and replacing or restoring every nut and bolt from bumper to bumper. The Chevelle got all sorts of new and updated parts like updated wiring, drivetrain and rear end, interior, coil over suspension, disc brakes, painted frame, etc, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ron’s Chevelle is powered by a\u00a0383 stroker with a\u00a0newly installed UltraPort FiTech\u00a0fuel injection with downdraft stacks and a TH350 transmission. Ron also did something different with the stripes; he\u00a0did one wide stripe with a pinstripe outline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ron loves to take his Chevelle to\u00a0whatever car shows he can. The car has won many trophies, he says. In the future, Ron would like to swap his\u00a0transmission for one\u00a0with overdrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
