No...and no...please no. I have had 2 of these and I was conceived in the back seat of one. I have been searching for another for 7 years. But extending the original grille and using a first gen Camaro RS type hide-away set up might look nice.

i love those cars my dad has a 66 chevy chevelle and two 64 thunderbirds i gonna get a 67 one day all the chevies from 65 to bout 72 were mean looking good luck

those type of mods are better done to some ricer/poser car. no one cares about those things. LOL

it's your car do what you like but since you asked for opinions, I do not like either of those options. old amer muscle cars look good hot rodded a little but not much fab work on the bodies. shaved handles and frenched tails are about as drastic as most "like"

Does the first have hideaway lamps, or just no lamps at all? Looks a lot better than the second photo.

Chevelle's never came with factory hideaways but with a little fabrication I bet you could fit a set of 68 Camaro hideaways in it.

First pic reminds me of a late 60s Cougar for some reason but it is better than pic 2, which just looks strange. I cant quite place it. Both look out of place after so many years of recognizing the OEM grille on that silhouette. In the end make yourself happy, good craftsmanship always shines thru a design.

If you are set on one of them, the second is better than the first...

I've had 3. I've owned Chevelles all of my life (since 18). Two '70s, and a '71 (now rusting peacefully in the back yard).

I'm liking the fully frenched one. The lights could go behind the grill. To me, it looks very RS-like, yet unmistakably Chevelle - perhaps a show car of the era. I dunno...I've always loved hidden headlights.

This came off my head as a doodle last night because, I was considering building my 3rd Chevelle (a 1971) back up, and I started thinking...I have to redo all the panels anyway; should I just make it cosmetically a '70 SS tribute car instead? Then I started thinking some more, and realized that I kinda like the '71 front, and the '70 rear the best.

The fact is, the back of the '70 has single, square tail lenses, and quad round headlights.

Where the '71 has single headlights in a square bezel, and quad round tail lenses (?).

It seems almost like the stylists got those two years fronts and backs confused.

So I thought about making it a mutt; '71 front, '70 back bumper...then I started thinking about maybe making hidden headlights...
