I found my Chevy 2 in 1991 at a Super Chevy Sunday Show in Indy. It was an original SS 283 powerglide car. The body was great, but the engine was tired.
In 2007 I started taking the car apart. Don’s Hot Rods in Franklin Ohio did all of the fabrication, body work, paint, and reassembly. I built the engine and delivered it to them for installation. As this was a rotisserie rebuild, it took 8 years to complete.
Thanks to Junior and Chevy 2 Only for helping me through this long but rewarding project.

The engine is a 327 with a 65 Corvette Rochester Fuel Injector, powering a Tremec 5 speed and Moser 12 bolt rear end. The front suspension is a CPP mini subframe unit with coil overs.
