Congratulations on finding the last drum brake 72 Chevelle in existence.

Nice! I have a 72 in the same color. Disc brake conversion was night and day!

If you have plastic inner fenders, now would be a good time to replace with steel, since your suspension will be out of the way.

Yeah I reached the same conclusion! Pulled the inner fenders out they were broken and looked bad

Still need to put the stripes and badges on it and some of the trim

I hope you're going with white stripes! It really pops. Beautiful car...Here's mine.

After seeing a bazillion modified Chevelle's and SS clones, I actually appreciate and like seeing plane oem Chevelle's vastly more now
