Andy Friar’s 1969 Chevelle 300 Deluxe Build
Andy started this build back in late 2013 and has come along away with his ’69 Chevelle 300. “We are just starting the build on our Chevelle and I wanted to share because I am over the moon excited about it”. How cool is that, so much excitement for a car that was original race by a good friend of Andy’s dad, Jim Endicott’s. Jim was the I/S record holder in the 70’s and raced it from ’72-’78. When Jim passed away, Andy purchased the car from Jim’s wife back in 1994.
Andy’s plans is to get the Chevelle back into the Stock eliminator ranks with a complete body off race build. Follow Andy’s build on his Class Racer Build thread. Its a great read as you follow along with Andy’s build, from start to hitting the race track. The car has a great history, so tune in and follow the Friar family build.
I helped build that car in the 70’s as a young man. I was Jim’s pit crew and confidant/whipping boy. Glad to see the car again.
