LS Swapped 1971 Chevelle SEMA Build
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
We met Ricardo at SEMA 2019 and knew right away that we had to shoot his Chevelle. His styling choices are very cool and its a very tasteful build overall. We love the color choices and the interior is simply beautiful.
And with an LS swap you know it makes good reliable power so sit back and enjoy the ride...

Yea, i agree with both comments , with an aside that half the fun of having alot of hp/tq is having more power than a 10" street tire can handle, lol

Flawless finish. Love the way it's rocking at 8:30 sitting at the red light. Both guys just rocking in their chairs like it's normal. Wait until they tune that beast. Beautiful craftsmanship. Perfect stance. You guys should all be proud of that one.
That chevelle is beautiful

I knew I recognized the seat style from somewhere! the Benz seats look great! that interior is lit!
Perfect example of what a modern muscle car should be. Awesome build
Damn that’s a bad ass Chevelle I always Like the back tail lights on this year rather than the 70 just my opinion great video Shawn

If you ever watch the movie "Faster", the Chevelle in there has a '70 front and a '71-'72 rear. Its like they made the Chevelle that should have been.

Yeah, if I buy a 70, it’s getting 71 rear bumper
One of the few channels I follow religiously. Great cars. Nice conversations. Wonderful details and you always put your foot in them. Love it.
The more I look at Mr. Lopez’ work, the more of a fan I become. He and his team turn out some exceptional builds. Well done, Sir.
Love the build!! Ricardo and crew are genuinely cool guys💯👊💯
That's one badass Chevelle brother.
8:20 It's like you 2 are bopping to some imaginary music at the stop light😂. Once tuned it will be spot on. Love the color combos. I always loved the Chevelles. I had a 72 a long time ago and regretted that I didn't have it too long to enjoy much.

It needs some minor tweaking (tune, brakes) but it’s a great build. Killer color combos!
Man, that is some color on the Chevy. Very inventive.....lots 'o pesos went into that rig. There is NOTHING that hasn't been touched on this beauty! A good build is never done.........
every mexican here saying great job a el gran patron viejo quedo mamalon el chevelle saludos desde mexico orgulloso de tu creasion ;) great video dude
It's safe to say that all the amazing vehicles shown here on this channel are truly a "Labor of love" and it truly shows!.. Thanks for sharing this journey with us all and please keep them coming!. 🙏🏻❤️🍻
That car is completely wicked. Love it, thanks.
def the best year for this car ... awesome
Love it. Very “simple”. Always a big fan of “less is more” concepts.
The interior is just so simple yet beautiful
What an outstanding build & the time frame het got it done in is outstanding, too! I hope Ricardo has you back for a proper shakedown when the tune, belts, and brakes are all dialed in to his liking. I hope a little of his fine tequila is left over for that run, too.

I'm totally envious of that Patron!! I just bought a bottle of the "everyday" Patron last night for me and a friend to enjoy tonight. But the stuff y'all were drinking must be soooo smooth. GREAT CAR tho!! Perfect color the interior looks amazing. And I can only imagine what it'll be like when everything is all dialed in. Thanks for sharing this one Shawn. Gonna go check out the merch now. Need at least one of those t-shirts.

I've always had a soft spot for orange muscle cars. Guess it goes back to Bo and Luke Duke. Pretty sure they never wore seat belts either. That interior was clean, stitching was exceptional. Thanks Shawn for another dream build!

I love how people are pulling the front seats out of all kinds of cars you wouldn't expect, I've seen Audi, Alfa Romeo and now Mercedes and they all look great. That shifter was really cool, the paint and interior were all on point looking fantastic, but the icing on the cake was the bottle in the boot =D (oops trunk hehe)

Hello Santa!!! I’ve been a good boy all year!!! LOL! I had a 71 back in the day and it was nice!!! The power of straight motor and good headers & exhaust make all the difference!! And the sound of an automatic trans. snaggin’ second gear!! I’m drooling over here, can you tell!? Ha!
Nice ride. Could use a higher stall converter or simply put it in neutral when you come to a stop.

I am French, 44 years old and a fan of old American cars since I was a kid, the lines, the melody of the V8, I love them all but I have a weakness for the already beautiful original Chevelle, in restomod it is a jewel. Thank you in any case for all these videos that treats us. Cordially. Of France.
