- 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...

Very refreshing for someone to be honest about their HP.
With no apologies too. He wants it to be a reliable driver and doesn’t need 1000 hp. Can’t wait to go for a drive when it’s all dialed in
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
How many ponies? I totally missed it.
@@jaycustom21 420
Rte? Lol And besides how much do you really need? 🤷♂️
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.
I knew I recognized the seat style from somewhere! the Benz seats look great! that interior is lit!
That chevelle is beautiful
Khalyl Burns What about them og floor mats though😂
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.
Perfect example of what a modern muscle car should be. Awesome build
One of the few channels I follow religiously. Great cars. Nice conversations. Wonderful details and you always put your foot in them. Love it.
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
That's one badass Chevelle brother.
Love the build!! Ricardo and crew are genuinely cool guys💯👊💯
Damn. Five months. Insane. Got some good ideas for my Chevelle too.
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!
Wow such a clean old school build.
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.........
looking at this video again, this interior is fu*king beautiful!!!
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
The first thing that comes to his mind when he drives the beast “he needs breaks”
I wanna bring this machine to Brazil 🔥
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!
The interior work on here is stunning. This whole build is really beautiful and a few minor tweaks will make it a great cruiser
The interior is just so simple yet beautiful
Love it. Very “simple”. Always a big fan of “less is more” concepts.
That car is completely wicked. Love it, thanks.
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!. 🙏🏻❤️🍻
So fresh and so clean, I can't wait to have one of these bad boy! Hopefully Rick Ross doesn't buy them all..lmao 🤣😂
SE NOTA QUE ERES MEXICANO Y NO PODÍA FALTAR EL EMBLEMA DEL TEQUILA. FELICIDADES POR EL EXCELENTE TRABAJO EN ESE POTENTE AUTO.
Its kind of a breath of fresh air to see a custom on a stock frame and not be totally radical and butchered. My favorites are the survivor series cars.
I love em all when they’re done well and this one is a wonderful build with great color choices
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.
Definitely need more of El Gran Patron...one for driving and one for after driving 😂
this may be the best chevelle build I've seen so far
It is a beautiful build for sure
@@AutotopiaLA definitely is. Without a doubt.
@@AutotopiaLA do you know if they put bigger brakes and rotors on it yet?
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.
The shirts are really good quality so you’ll enjoy those. He nailed it on this build and yes on the bottle of smooth tequila. Love it!
That interior and that color combo 👍
One amazing piece of art The color combo is perfect you guys did an awesome ridiculous job on the Chevelle. 👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇵🇷
this is a fun show, thanks!
The care is beautiful
def the best year for this car ... awesome
Not too many hispanics in the mus le car/ custom field so good for u compa ! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Brother you'd be surprised
🇲🇽🇺🇸
It's plenty.
Great work, Guy loves what he does and it shows, “Bien Hecho Compa”!
Beautiful custom Chevelle, great job
What a beautiful clean build, love the color combinations
The colors are so rich. Love it!
That is a badass Chevelle good job Ricardo and your crew
They really built a work of art
Very nice. Love the color!
Extremely beautiful ride brotha, that ls1 motor sounds awesome!!!
Beautiful ride its clean 🔥
Love the car and that dude did sweet job on interior 👍
Than you... we try our best...
Blissful as usual
Yeah, beautiful build and Ricardo is such a cool guy
Beautiful Chevelle!
Very slick, paintwork immaculate
Ricardo and his crew did an absolute knockout beautiful job on this car. Not my choice of exterior colors but nonetheless a very well-built attractive car
"We got the seats from a Mercedes! We stole them" 😆 🤣 😂
Nice car and his colour is beautiful
Good stuff! Love how the cam causes the rocking motion. 💯
Actually, the tune was still off but when right it should still have a nice rhythm with that cam
This is 10x better with a good pair of noise cancelling headphones! The cars sound next to you.
That lope @ 8:20 -45 wow
Awesome! I’ll have to put mine on and have a listen
The chevelle looks great with all the chrome blacked out. When I get one that's exactly what I'm going to do.
Agreed. Love his choices and execution on this build. Looks mean af
Piece of artwork.: rock on 🤘
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)
The boot! 😂 I really like this build. The colors. The choices. And yes on repurposing seats from a wide variety of vehicles!
Great episode!! This guy built a really cool car
this looks realy good
Really really nice and my favorite year too!! Good job guys!!👍😎
They nailed it on this one. Beautiful build
Am in love with this car its beautiful HADS DOWN💪👍🙏🦁👑🔥❤️
That thing lopes like an old muscle car with a big cam. Those two bouncing in their seats at the stop sign! I have a 72 Chevelle and am looking to do the ls swap. Nice car. Cool honest guys.
Well done to the host. Loved the color.
Thanks. The color combo is so good on this one
Badass is right...and that interior is perfect too!
Cheers.
The interior and the color combo are so good on this one
Based on hp number and looks alone this car fits me like a glove love it 👍🏾👍🏾
I hear ya. Beautiful and total reliable driver!
Those black bumpers look killer, I might have to copy that someday.
Beautifully modified, what an amazing color.
Love the gold to break up the orange and black. Great choices on this and that interior is 🔥
Nice ride. Could use a higher stall converter or simply put it in neutral when you come to a stop.
Another one of my dream cars
I really love that every single video that has such amazing cars when put on "Captions" say's "Music" when people hit the gas and they take off lol.. It really is "Music" and I just wish I could create some of the same myself!. LOL
Love this build
looks mental
It’s such a nice build. Love his color choices
Love the combo and that engine bay is so clean.
Same for me. Great color choices
@@AutotopiaLA you find some great cars love the channel 👍👍
Nice car and seems like Lopez is cool
Ricardo is really cool and this car is definitely a beautiful build
That’s a good looking Beast
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!
the way that thing idles 🎶🎵🎶
And when he gets the tune right it’ll be spectacular
Such a beauty, I love her color.
Same for me! He nailed it on the color combo
NICE & CLEAN CUSTOM 71 CHEVY CHEVELLE
Such a beautiful ride!
@@AutotopiaLA SHAWN BLESSINGS FOR YOU & AUTOTOPIA-LA

Agreed. They built a beauty
Now this is NICE!!! 👍👍👍

Mmmmm can't wait for mine to be done 😈💪🏾
Can’t wait to see it!
Sweet ride
Sure is a beauty
Nice color 🤗
It’s a beauty for sure
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I could afford it.
Beautiful seriously damn
Channel keeps getting better👍🏼
Thank you. That’s the goal 👊
We did a great work on this car
awesome car man
Gotta have that cowl induction though. Love it though.❤️
Beautiful car. I noticed that it has 72 front blinker lights.
Another beautiful Chevelle, it's definitely my favorite car....
And since this shoot he put a new engine in to get more power!
@@AutotopiaLA Waoh ... She already had it in her womb. 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.
Yeah that’s badass
Really a beautiful build
very pretty car
Yeah, great color choices
if that's a 71, then it has 1972 turn signal lights in the front. 1971 split them in two. Colour combo is great, doesn't look "Halloween" pumpkin-ish. I have an 86 Mustang in competition orange and the factory GT black war paint, it looked good when it wore blacked rims too. Folks are loath to try it out, but it comes off well--but I had the factory grey interior, i like the caramel choice here better. And its nice to not have 1,000 hp dyno queen under the hood. some folks forget, its nice to just have a cruiser car.
Great comment here and I love this build. Since this episode he gave it more power but still a total driver
@@AutotopiaLA thank you. i'll guess the more the owner drove it, the more he got used to it, and the more comfortable he felt adding power. I live in the snow belt, so jumping back and forth from old cars with cast iron steering boxes and no ABS or traction control to daily drivers with all that technology to save you...well, let's just say, don't be using the cellphone when you take out your toy in spring and the learning curve begins again :)
This is the first car that I wasn't thrilled about. It is a very nice build and he nailed the interior. The outside to me didn't flow with all the black.
That's the point.... It's not to "thrill" you it's for the owner not you, now go build your own to your liking, and let's see if your build "thrill" us.
I think the gold helps to break up the orange/black theme. Seeing it in person might change your mind
Great looking car!
Agreed. Absolutely love his color choices
Well done!
Agreed. Beautiful build
