Chevy Concepts — 1966 Chevelle
Built by: Hawk’s Speed Shop (Manchester, TN)
This Chevelle is getting all the right goodies to make it a great driver. An LS1 backed by a T56 will send power to a 12-bolt rearend. Detroit Speed suspension will make it handle the turns and big Wilwood six- and four-piston caliper disc brakes will bring it to a stop. The 3030 Series G wheels, in 18×9.5 and 18×12, allow for some wider rubber and capitalize on the aggressive stance.
Making this build even more special is the story behind it. The owner originally purchased it in high school and started modifying it right away. When it was time for college, the Chevelle got parked in the barn and stayed there for about 20 years. When COVID-19 hit, the project was pulled out and assessed. Inspired by Kyle Tucker’s “Twister” 1969 Camaro, the owner put together a list of modifications that would be necessary to achieve his goal. The final build will be handled by Hawk’s Speed Shop in Manchester, Tennessee.
