Hello all my names Billy new to the site but not the Chevelle's...lol. I've been the owner of a 1969 Malibu for 12yrs now and it's finally time to kick that badboy in gear.... Also in the process of re-building a 1970 SS 396 car for a buddy of mine at the moment. I'm a Chevelle nut so i think I'm finally in the right place...
