I bought this car 5yr's ago without really going over it good because i was so excited that it was a true ss454 ls5. well once i got it home i found the guy that had this car must have been a sculptor, because it was mostly bondo in the shape of a Chevelle! after cutting and drilling all the bad metal off there wasn't much left of it but the roof hood and trunk lid!Deep depression set in, but my father inlaw Roger Wriston and i persevered and 4 years later it was finished! a full frame off nut and bolt restoration! it was the most frustrating but most rewarding thing i have ever done. Thanks Roger.

WOW! what an awesome Chevelle! You did'ent have much to start with, but what you ended up with is spectacular! For a first time frame off, you guys made a magazine car for sure!

Thanks for the very nice post! It was a ton of work, but was way worth it. And it was great to work such a cool project with my father in law. Thanks again!
