Building a Twin Turbo LSX Chevelle on a Roadstershop Chassis - LSX Chevelle Ep. 1

[@atamagashock]

So excited for this build! This has always been a dream of mine. The only difference would be using a 66 chevelle body. But otherwise I’ve been dreaming of this exact same build

[@RoadsterShop]

Awesome walkthrough on the SPEC setup, thanks guys!! Can't wait to see this beast come together!

[@SalvagetoSavage]

We're loving this new chassis! Can't wait to show y'all the body getting set down on this thing next week!

[@WildChinoise]

I go back to when Chevelles were first produced. There were a couple in the old hood that all us kids used to stare at. I'm excited to see this build!

[@SalvagetoSavage]

They're definitely one of the first cars we think about when you say "classic muscle car!"

[@1973GLH]

This is the way cars from that era should be built

[@DrGearHeadSS]

This and the Tesla swap C10 are projects I dreamed about doing but probably never can. You guys are doing such amazing work. Thank you for making and posting this content to let me see my dreams come alive.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Love seeing resto-mods! With the power we can drop in to these old cars. They just aren't safe with the old chassis and suspension. Love what you have planned for this. I expect you to keep your promise about "Small adjustment" to the fenders. NO BOLT ON FENDER FLARES!!! LOL

[@SalvagetoSavage]

We're keeping this one simple and tasteful! lol

[@rajeevmasilamony8395]

I might be one of the only people I know that approves of slicing up fenders (tastefully of course). I'm hyped for this build you guys, can't wait to see how it turns out

[@SalvagetoSavage]

[@oldblueshhrchannel1847]

@@SalvagetoSavage here’s a thought, if you have scales, weigh the full car before and after to see the weight savings , maybe a chassis dyno pull also. Let’s see an apples to oranges test. Or cement to balsa wood! in this instance.

All part of it! (you do have the option of how built out you want your chassis though)

Somebody with the money will jump on that chassis. As much as I would like to, my 72 is so far from a priority. Unless it was free 99, I couldnt justify it. Focused on Christmas for my 9 yr old.

Its an awesome way to build a car and I'm sure its an upgrade . But to call it modern is a bit of a push . Its a 50s style ladder frame . Its not even an independent rear end

[@PaulEPerez-wl1bo]

I would like to respectfully comment on engine choice... Replacing an original 454/425hp from the era that is well sought after? Not to mention cost of obtaining one. Now the car loses value and much research of crate motors has taught me why I wouldn't want one. However, I do love your work and fab is incredible. And finally, yes, I know it's not my car. Just believe the mark has been missed for the engine. Chassis is my pick as well. Will it be powder coated before the marriage? If so why have the parts previously installed?

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Paul we are building a RestoMod, with all the newest components of a modern sports car. The value of this car will exceed any stock chevelle with a big block. Trust me. As far as the chassis goes, yes it will get coated. On projects of this caliber, the car is built then it’s completely taken apart and sent out for paint.

[@regsmith7604]

Don’t butcher the body. Leave it alone. Do it as close to OEM looking as possible. Don’t worry about the wheels going up in the arches. Don’t make no “Donk Car” out of this.
