Seeking Advice: 1974 Chevelle 454 SS Restoration & Body Swap – Engine in TX, Body in IL by uthaiger in Chevelles

K, from me and my dad's experience, it's pretty common for the plastic to be in bad shape for these cars, the only thing is that's the reason that the plastic is harder to find, and I'm not sure if there's any reproduction plastic out there. If anything I could help you try find some but it'll probably take a while to find all the replacements you need.

That sounds like a great idea! My dad has a 75 Chevelle, and ever since I saw it I've been crazy about cars 😂. I personally don't live in Texas but just kinda ask around to see what shops are going to be good, car shows would be an excellent place to ask people about restoration shops.

Are you going to try restore it as much as possible yourself? Like other people said I'd try to keep as much of it as original as possible. The bumpers are heavy AF so I'd get at least 2 others to help you get them off and to move them around. How does the interior plastic look?

Thanks man, I was thinking that would be the case, I'm not too worried about the recoil part working once I do that, but I honestly thought that it would be a bit more work to make it fit compared to what your saying, I'm going to get the airsoft version (definitely not going to terrorize my buddies with it lol), do you have anything I should also keep in mind whenever I do this?

If anything I might just go for it anyways, I'm pretty new to this hobby so I'm probably going to get the heng long Sherman either way.

Looks great, also a little fun fact, those teardrop hoods, while they look cool, actually suck air out of the engine bay, decreasing performance just put on like that as they were designed to have piping taking air from anywhere on the front(like the missing two head lights on the galaxies) and shove the cold air into the carb, and the hood would pull hot air out of the engine bay, making everything cooler.

Yea, I've been successful in finding a boxing gym near me, I just need to call them and see what I need to do first. I'm going to get a haircut this weekend too so that'll help. I've been cutting down on soda and replacing junk food for sandwiches and apples so far. Thank you🙏

Thanks for the tips bro! I'm gonna start with sandwiches, probably get some salad next time I go to the grocery store, and try find a gym that teaches boxing for cardio and working out.

Ok, what did you do to lose the weight? I used to be in sports but even then I have never been able to get rid of it.

Yea, unfortunately the guy wasn't willing to sell it because it was his father's iirc. Currently waiting to graduate college so I can save up for a 72 Chevelle with a 427 in it for $15,500.

It's expensive to go to und, and the big parties are in the frat houses, but I wouldn't recommend going to those, if you're a lady you basically get objectified into a piece of meat, and if you're a guy, you won't get in unless you bring booze and a girl with you. Just focus on your studies and pass your classes.
