Looking forward to the progress, I have an HPI kit sitting on the floor of my garage and it will be going into my 66 SD soon, frame up and resto mod pro tour too, stock sucks.
HPI put out a YouTube video on how to install it if you haven't seen it yet.
Seems like every time I get in the garage I have a friend or two show up and then it just turns into a beer and bs fest.
Not me,got no friends...just acquaintances,but they still drink all my beer! Liking your vision,thinking I should have gone Vintage Air,maybe the next one.

Out of everything on this build the vintage air is the only thing thats cheaper in Canada. $1500 for EVERYTHING. Im getting to old to want to drive the car around on hot +30 days.... or maybe its just fat and lazy...lol
Sounds like a good plan. Just remember when ordering your springs, get them for the 64 frame you are using, rear upper pocket is different between 64 & 67, takes a different spring.

Yes, That's why i'm buying springs.
I'll sell my 1 inch drop 67 springs later and my current shocks.

Good, just didn't want you to get bit like I did years ago when putting a 66 frame under my brothers 67 Chevelle.
Because all 64 - 67 Chevelles are the same underneath right?..... NOT! Learned the hard way.
Good looking ride, kinda partial to the 67's myself đ Be interested to see the finished product and the stance. I'm currently looking at the adjustable QA1 coil overs to lower mine... Just wish the Cdn dollar would help lol

don't need adjustable stuff to get the right stance, Way cheaper to buy an of the shelf proven spring.
If I had to do it all over again ALL my suspention would be from UMI Performance and my brakes will be from Kore3.
Talk to Ramey at UMI or Tobin at Kore3 if you need brakes. In a world where customer service doesn't stack up anymore these guys know their shit and are good at it.
Nice start Paul, this will be an awesome car when its all done.
I second Paul's recommendation of Ramey at UMI for suspension. The customer service is top notch and the product is great. I've got a UMI Stage 5 Suspension in my Beaumont and am really happy with it. I can't speak for Tobin as I haven't dealt with him but have read and heard a lot of really good things about him as well.
In a world full of LSX swaps its nice to see that you are considering EFI for your Big Block. I am in the same boat, will probably put EFI on my Big Block rather than go the LS Route. I've already got a bunch of money into the Big Block, the mini starter, the headers, the March Serpentine System, and a DeWitts BBC Radiator, it adds up fast! And not to mention, the sound is unbeatable. Might look at a ZZ502 one day but I am pretty sure I will keep mine BBC.
Great pics, keep em coming.
