This 1965 Chevelle is a real-world example of a great project... we're going through the suspension, body, interior, and paint without a zillion dollar budget. Follow the build here!

 We had our 1965 Chevelle SS frame media blasted and stripped clean, and then it was time to give it a new protective coating. This time, we utilized the new Extreme Chassis Black Epoxy paint from Eastwood. We found it to have an accurate satin appearance, and it seems to have the guts to stand up to the road.

 We took the chassis from the '65 Chevelle SS parts car and blew it apart for a trip to the media blaster. V8TV shop assistant Nick Doerr took some initiative to remove the front springs with a plasma torch... while we would never recommend that anyone do this, it works...

 Our 1965 Chevelle has a 10-bolt rear axle, and while preparing the housing for some detailing and upgrades, we show you how to remove "c" clip-style axles. This is handy if you're changing gears, differentials, or upgrading to disc brakes. It's a pretty simple trick.

 When we started this project, we wanted to build a clone of a
1965 Chevelle SS. Little did we know that the body and frame of the
first car would be too rusty to build, so we obtained a parts car and a
2-door hardtop from Arizona. It turns out that the 2-door is a real
'65 Chevelle SS! So now we're taking the 3 cars and building one with
the help of the Original Parts Group . This time, we just finished
tranplsanting the rusty dash from one car to the other.

 Sorting through the "yuck" in the 4-door parts car we got to help rebuild our 1965 Chevelle. It was nasty!

 Here's the first blog on the 1965 Chevelle project. This is a pretty decent driver to start with, but the body is not very solid. We're going to upgrade the engine, body, and suspension without taking this car off the frame...we don't have the budget or time, so this is a great example of a real-world resto.

 V8TV adds another project car to the stable – this time it’s a 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu. We’ve picked up another project car for the V8TV stable, a 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu 2-door hardtop. We’ve got plans for this car, but we’ll start off with an overview of what we’ve got to work with.

 Here's a list of some of the parts, products, and services we used to reconstruct the 1965 Chevelle project. Without companies that share our passion for keeping cool American Musclecars on the road, we wouldn't be able to make these projects come to life. If you happen to contact one of these companies listed, please tell them V8TV says "Hello!"
