Welcome Jay. I can't wait to see a pic of all of your work.


And flash is not kidding when he says that about open invitations. flash and his wife are known to make some extensive road trips. Just ask him what his longest trip was last year.

My wife, Lynda, was born in Toronto and I spent a lot of time over there when I was younger, my father was born in Nova Scotia. Most of our Canadian relatives have moved or passed on so we haven't been over there in awhile. If you head this way let us know, always nice to meet another Chevelle owner.

I would like to have some pictures of the center console install ready soon as well as a few updated ones of the car in general.

Welcome Jay from Oregon. Look forward of seeing some pictures of your car.

The console I'm in the process of installing. Original console with stainless plates to fit the B&M shifter. Didn't do any modifications to the console just making the plates to fit in the location of the original trim pieces.

Very nice looking car. :ntwrthy:

Hi Jay, i'm 27 also, been into cars since I was a little kid. My great-Grandfather used to own a GMC dealership so i'm partial to GM products. I have had my Malibu for about 10 years and just picked up an SS396 project not too long ago. I like the color scheme and the console plate for the aftermarket shifter. I may be doing something similar to the SS if I keep it automatic for now.

Thanks to all for the compliments and warm welcome.

I like the pics Jay. Any other plans for your car ?

This driving season I dont have many proects planned other than the console and installing a mini starter to hopefully avoid some heat related starter problems. In the off season though I will be doing a complete wiring overhaul. Installing the SS dash, probably with digital gauges and some more fabricated stainless trim in place of the A/C delete plate. I have a new th400 to install in place of the one I have now. Also looking at an LED tail light conversion, HID headlight kit and maybe pushbutton start. The SS dash was in my dad's convertible so there is a hole in it for the top switch that I need to deal with. Only going to do the start if I can find a tasteful button, will be keeping the key installed as a backup. If that doesn't work out maore stainless trim. LOL
