Thomas B's 1970 Chevelle Canadian SS | Ground Up Motors

Thomas bought this 1970 Chevelle with the intention of making a decent driver, but after finding out it was a true Canadian SS car things changes a little bit.

Thomas says “I kinda got carried away!”

It has the original transmission and rear end, so Thomas went out and found a date coded CE block that was built within 3 months of his Canadian SS car. From the factory this Chevelle came equipped with a bench seat and a 4 speed transmission.

All the original sheet metal remained intact with the exception of the fenders, which Thomas decided to replace with NOS fenders. Thomas even went to the extent of getting his bumpers re-chromed and stainless polished from Advanced Plating.

This build features not only tons of NOS parts but also tons of detailing and restoration parts from Ground Up SS396.com. All said and done this is one beautiful Canadian Chevelle SS.
