Not a chevelle, but since I had the day off and the weather was nice. I decided to detail the PU today and get all the winter grime off of it. Also polished out the aluminum rims, waxed and inside detail. For a almost ten year old truck it's still in good shape and hope it last another 5 years or so.

Thats a nice looking truck .

We took the vert out cruising again today after work.

Weather is going to be nice tomorrow, so I plan to pull the Chevelle out of the garage and clean it up and maybe a cruise. Got the oil leak fix on the left valve cover.

Yesterday I got very little done... installed the fuel pump, pump to carb line, battery cable retention bracket on the passenger side engine mount, and installed the coil and bracket.

What side tracked me, a friend came by with the removable hard top for his jeep. I helped prep it and he sparayed it with a textured, bed liner material. He had some left and advised me that it was good for another 45 minutes. So, I sanded and masked the bed of my truck and applied what was left. It did the floor, sides, and tail gate. Big improvement over the scratched up paint.

Just ordered a shifter handle and rear view mirror from GU tonight. The handle will bolt to my Hurst base, and allow me to use that rare factory knob I acquired.

I wish I could get that "Very little done". lol

I am checking into a detail shop that has a 2 month waiting list right now. I figure I will have it detailed by a professional this year. I will be asking a lot of questions so that I can learn as much as I can.

Rained out.
 

It been a long nasty winter here. My work is outside today. It going to be warm. I am sitting in my shop at the computer getting motivated drinking coffee.
Since I can't work I going to do what i want to. Work but on something i want not need to do. Sand on the chevelle. Yesterday I was sitting in the chevelle dreaming of the day I can actually drive it. I noticed I am alot bigger than I was in high school. I am so used to driving my van and durango that the cockpit in the chevelle isnt as big as I remember it being. I think one of my projects soon will be making the seat go back a couple more inches. Alter the seat track a little.
I got half the drivers door to sand and some quarter and rocker work to complete. And it finally going to be ready for high build. See what is left to do on this mess. I basically waiting for warm weather to prime some stuff. If it suits me the doors and hood trunk lid come off then Jamb everything out reassemble. then we getting close to this stage in the work to be completed. Another blocking see if anything moved and it ready. After all this time it feels like X-Mas.
Then start the long process of assembling things.
Far from done but out of the woods.

How much room I had inside was the first I notice also. Thought I had more head room in high school. I seem to peg the headliner in it.

Can we not embed here? Guess not but couldn't remember....
