I hate drum brakes. Pain the ass to work on. I changed my 68 Camaro to four-wheel disc brakes before there were kits available. Had to use a Corvette adjustable brake proportioning valve to make it work.
Tuff little Chevelle Kyle Got the retro muscle with some great upgrades A nice throaty sound Super clean work Like that you did a bunch of the work yourself
Love it. And I love how the owner has put in the work. It's so rewarding to smash that gas pedal down on a engine you built with your own two hands and feel and hear that machine sing. Well done. Tasteful build .
Nicely done, perfect sound perfect amount of power. I love a classic muscle car that you can actually drive and get high in the rpm’s every now and then without feeling like your headed to outer space
Upholstery is stellar and that one-off color caught my eye. How did those front wheels articulate when backing out @4:11 ? That was wonking. This car is sick. Love the build and history.
SICK AF I LOVE IT CHEVELLES ARE MY FAVORITE BY FAR! BUT THAT OTHER BLUE ONE WITH 850HP WITH THE 632 cubic inch is just perfect for me love em with big blocks 💪🏽😍😍😍😍💪🏽
Love everything about the car! Love the fact that he did most of the work himself as well. The one thing that got me though was the fact that he wears his sunglasses inside.....
Love these stories... For sure badass car, love that Kyle taught himself so much and did just about everything himself. Great stance and that color!, also nice blue eyes 😜
Was expecting another LS motor car but pleasantly suprised at a guy who built his own procharged stroker...awsome car. Not a hug fan of that style grill but the rest is awsome !! Sounds like he has a lean tip in going on. Need to tune that carb
I respect the heck out of this build. Following the same template with my 72 Nova. Wish I could get Shawn to come to Chicago so I can get on Autotopia, LoL
Sooner or later we’ll add in travel shoots. Right now it’s tough due to budget traveling with the crew plus I have to run my business…but we will add in travel at some point
I know I’m probably in the minority but whenever I see a title for a Chevelle without the year listed I always hope it’s a ‘66-67. I just personally prefer that body style over the ‘68-72.
This is awesome 😀👍🏻 love that he built it himself ! , and has that slant look, as I did in my car's 🤙🏼 don't like car's that are dragging the back end look lol but it's very cool car 😎👍🏽
MAN we gotta get you guys up here to the Northern California side, i’ve got one friend with a 70 mustang that looks like a bucket of crap but it will pull on super street bikes!
Very nice Chevelle, except for the wheel choice. I like the look of the wheels, just think they're too big. Don't like anything over 18" on the older rides and a little more sidewall on the tires. I'm old school.
Biggest mistake I made on our BelAir was buying a ProCharger, they had no idea how to make one fit my application. After I paid to redesign,re-manufacture and install parts they ‘ProCharger” re-wrote their manual.

I tip my hat to the owner for 1 holding onto the car since he was young and 2 doing a heap of the work himself. Fantastic
I love how at 1:05 he said he put disc brakes knowing that Shawn would appreciate that after the incident with the Merc Comet.
And notice the use of full harnesses! I've been doing the same since seeing that terrible face plant in the dash. That had to hurt!
I'm pretty sure the Comet guy had disc brakes too.
@@Packer1290 yes he did, also a sticking throttle that over stressed the brakes to the point of failure.
I hate drum brakes. Pain the ass to work on. I changed my 68 Camaro to four-wheel disc brakes before there were kits available. Had to use a Corvette adjustable brake proportioning valve to make it work.
No doubt about that, for sure!
Chevelle’s have always been my favorite muscle car. Badass car for sure!
Thanks to you both.
Kyle deserves heaps of compliments.
He sure does. Did a great job on this
@@AutotopiaLA One thing is for sure. You have interviewed some wonderful people and ridden in m a n y amazing cars.
Tuff little Chevelle Kyle
Got the retro muscle with some great upgrades
A nice throaty sound
Super clean work
Like that you did a bunch of the work yourself
Truly there is so much to love about this car.............he did a fine job on this......
Beautiful car. Doesn’t come across as “violent fast”.
Love the stance on this, and the colour, the wheels, the interior, the lights...the sound!
Beauty.
Yeah, very cool build!
Love that car. Huge fan of the 68. This one didn't disappoint 👏
Love it. And I love how the owner has put in the work. It's so rewarding to smash that gas pedal down on a engine you built with your own two hands and feel and hear that machine sing. Well done. Tasteful build .
He did such a great job on this build
Simply a beautiful car brings back a ton of memories for me. I would definitely love to have one.
Gs 455 buick!!!!! That's the one I want!
But this chevy is nice!!!!
Wow?! A lot of what he has done is what I am in the process of doing. Love the stance and rake.
Awesome!
Great Chevelle. I love the fact that it wasn't overdone.
Same for me. Just enough done but didn’t lose the original car
Nicely done, perfect sound perfect amount of power. I love a classic muscle car that you can actually drive and get high in the rpm’s every now and then without feeling like your headed to outer space
I’m with you. Perfect power range for driving and having fun
Solid car. The interior seats front and back caught my attention. Done really well...
Yeah, he did a great job with this one
Super clean and yeah, that stance with the OG tilt is perfectly done!
I love the stance on this!
Upholstery is stellar and that one-off color caught my eye. How did those front wheels articulate when backing out @4:11 ? That was wonking. This car is sick. Love the build and history.
I think the CPP kit is a "true turn" kit that has sharper turning radius. Pretty awsome
@@Handlehandlebars, yeah, not familiar with that but sounds kickass and must perform well. Thanks.
SICK AF I LOVE IT CHEVELLES ARE MY FAVORITE BY FAR! BUT THAT OTHER BLUE ONE WITH 850HP WITH THE 632 cubic inch is just perfect for me love em with big blocks 💪🏽😍😍😍😍💪🏽
Both very cool Chevelle’s
This guy takes care of his stuff. I like that. He knows what it will do.
What a nice, simple looking=CLEAN! Chevelle. That is a restomod I'd love to have.
You guys always surprise..I swear the shows just keep getting better..thanks so much ..hope to make it to Cali someday to see the shop
Come on out!
@@AutotopiaLA I’m actually very interested in buying this car. Can you connect me?
Love everything about the car! Love the fact that he did most of the work himself as well. The one thing that got me though was the fact that he wears his sunglasses inside.....
68 Chevelle's are my favorite as well as 66. This is so very cool. Love the pro charger
Love these stories... For sure badass car, love that Kyle taught himself so much and did just about everything himself. Great stance and that color!, also nice blue eyes 😜
Great to see a Labor of Love Restomod over time. Plenty of original ideas. 💡 Make it your own as the money 💰 shows up. Fast ⏩
Super cool and sharp looking 68 Chevelle
Yeah…clean cool Chevelle for sure
I've seen hundreds of Chevelles at car shows. My favorite usually leans towards a 65 or 66. But........ this one is absolutely gorgeous!
Awesome color. Beautiful car inside n out plus under the hood. Wheels are ok. Ditch the headlights👍
I like the headlights the car looks great the rims are spot on with the color. I know he saved alot of money doing most of the work
20 years, that's real hotrodding, build part and live with it then repeat. Well done
1:07
"I Put Disc Brakes On It" 🤣😂
I'm Sure We Will Never See Anybody Not Wearing Their Seatbelt Harness Improperly Ever Again..
Love it. Especially going to a tech school just so he could build his own engine. Much respect. 🍻
Such a great build and a great story with it
Daaayuuuummmm thats badass! I like the old skool look and sound and the New tech and new modern elements to it, Very Well and Tastely done!!!
Here comes that sound again and again.... Superb idle and revving
Well done ride for sure
Was expecting another LS motor car but pleasantly suprised at a guy who built his own procharged stroker...awsome car. Not a hug fan of that style grill but the rest is awsome !! Sounds like he has a lean tip in going on. Need to tune that carb
This is absolutely music to my ears in sound and stops me in my tracks with such beauty. ❤️
That Chevy is nice and clean in and out very nice and the wheels simple but nice 👍383 with a pro charger 🔥
My favorite style of Chevelle. Luv the part when he just idles out of the garage. Can’t beat it.
I respect the heck out of this build. Following the same template with my 72 Nova. Wish I could get Shawn to come to Chicago so I can get on Autotopia, LoL
Sooner or later we’ll add in travel shoots. Right now it’s tough due to budget traveling with the crew plus I have to run my business…but we will add in travel at some point
@@AutotopiaLA I look forward to it. One of my bucket list Items is to get my bucket of bolts on your channel, LoL
Looks like a pewter blue I had on my 98 eagle talon. Love the color.
Sweet Chevelle! This is a real world car that most of us could build. Mad props to dude for doing it himself! 👍
I’m with you on this!
Very kool, he needs a 572 for his next upgrade.
sweet interior for sure that came out awsome someone was paying attention
He did a great job on this one
Beautiful build thankyou Sean and Dean, only zonk rear needs to sit a bit lower
Perfect mod and look. Not overdone. Like we used to do. My mother and neighbors hated my 71 also. Lol.🔥🔥🔥♥️♥️👍😎🤑🤑
Sweet build. Awesome stance. Job well done💯🇺🇸🦾🔥
Love it! Wish I had my 68 back. Great ride
Dude, fantastic 👏 build, what a stance, it's beefy, and she stands proud, thanks 😊 👍 again Shawn for another super video
Best year of chevelle imo 💪
Every build on this channel is amazing man. Someday I’ll get a beauty like one of these 💯💯
I'm not normally a fan of the modern headlights on a 60'-70's muscle car, but those work for me.
Its not really modern. Just goofy halos
Well done dude !!!
No question! He nailed it with this
Beautiful car! Love it!!
Me too!!
I like this guy I have a 68 chevelle first car since I was 15 still have it
I know I’m probably in the minority but whenever I see a title for a Chevelle without the year listed I always hope it’s a ‘66-67. I just personally prefer that body style over the ‘68-72.
gee thx
Same. 66 is my favorite year.
66 the best
I heard that. It's the same for BOP.
Love the 66 best chevelle ni my opinion
Im with u, the long history of ownership is what makes for a cool story! Great build.
Other than raising the front end 1.5 inches , I love it.
Another classic Shawn.
Thanks. Such a cool car and story
Nice all around clean build!
Definitely
that car is set up just right. Not so crazy you cant drive it. Nice job bub!
I agree. Drivable beautiful Chevelle
so nice ... '68-'69 are my Fav year Chevelle ...
They are cool for sure
This is it, I LOOOOOOOOVE this car.
Me too!!
Sheeshh for sure a dream first car build 🔥🔥🙏🏼
This is awesome 😀👍🏻 love that he built it himself ! , and has that slant look, as I did in my car's 🤙🏼 don't like car's that are dragging the back end look lol but it's very cool car 😎👍🏽
One day I will have a whole garage compound full of these beautiful American classics.
MAN we gotta get you guys up here to the Northern California side, i’ve got one friend with a 70 mustang that looks like a bucket of crap but it will pull on super street bikes!
I want to add in travel shoots at some point but budget and having to run my business limits us
@@AutotopiaLA Totally understand brother I’m gonna DM you of my buddies car so you guys could drive
Great build. One of my faves...
true craftsman, great build!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agreed…love what he did and that he did most of it himself
Man that's beautiful, what a beast!!!!
Nice!!!!!!
Nice Chevelle! My 95 Camaro Z28 had that same hesitation. When I changed spark plugs that problem went away.
That color is sick
Very nice Chevelle, except for the wheel choice. I like the look of the wheels, just think they're too big. Don't like anything over 18" on the older rides and a little more sidewall on the tires. I'm old school.
Completely agree. I like your style sir
OH YEAH BABY SWEET SWEET RIDE
Burnout was soft but everything else…. Damn. Amazingly beautiful. All around
those headlights......say so much.......
It screams goofy
Looks awesome brother!👏👏❤
great job..... I hate big lo profile rubber on vintage rides...love the dash
I think he nailed it with this one
I love RUclips !!!!! Greetings to all ! God bless You , Amen !
Biggest mistake I made on our BelAir was buying a ProCharger, they had no idea how to make one fit my application. After I paid to redesign,re-manufacture and install parts they ‘ProCharger” re-wrote their manual.
Such a cool story. love the car!
Same for me Ian. He did such a great job on it!
Once again, great job brother and bad ass car ✌
Thanks and I agree…he did a great job on this
the blue lights really make it pop
Those are a love hate item. I don’t mind em but some people hate those
Love it, keep it simple good old stroker motor 🔥
Looks sweet. Excellent job 👏
another nice episode - keep it going !
Finally a carburetor car, not a LS, thank you !!
Very cool for sure
Beautiful build minus the halo headlights. Those are more fitting to the low riders of East LA. They cheapen the quality of the build
Agreed they look cheap
Luv luv This Video
Awesome! Sure was a fun shoot
What a freaking beauty
Love the 69 Chevelle ...I would love a 1965 Buick Riviera with the same "treatment"
Beautiful ride 🤙🏽
7:12 after gunning it 25% throttle... _"Dude, are these manual brakes?"_ At least you weren't on a canyon curve. Lol.
I was wondering if they're manual too.? Didn't notice a booster.
Love the car and love the fact he didn't put an LS in it.
this is some kind of masterpiece of mechanical engineering his mother. how beautiful she is 🥰🥰💪😍👍
Nice car, not much for the carb, injection is the only way to go But there is something magical about the chatter of a Procharger.
I’d go efi too but he loves it and it’s his car
That car is beautiful 😍
Love this Chevrolet Chevelle ss.too good...... sounds Op 🤠🤠🇺🇸🇺🇸 superb
😎I need something like this in my collection
Super Awesome ride 😎👍
I remember your labor of love with Lu.
