A significant update, everything is jambed in and the panels are rehung. It won't be long now.

Had a guy who is gonna cut a tree down tomorrow. Looked at it. He kept saying you need to start driving this around.

I just finished installing a holley sniper efi for the chevelle. Seems good so far. Try to get it more drivable around town.

What is your engine combination? I got one for my folks 72, hoping it plays nice with the 454 in their car. It's not radcal, but far from "stock."

Basically I have been doing all the nit pick, pain in my arse things. I replaced all of the brake lines and the proportioning valve. What a nightmare, I hate pre bent lines. I used two kits, from two different vendors to get lines that worked. Even still, the line from the prop valve to the driver's side caliper hose is too short - neither kit had one long enough. The front to rear main line fit well,thankfully. I painted the underside of my hood, and repainted the tie bar - it had a ton of chips and scratches. I stripped and repainted some parts that weren't the right color/finish. Calipers, hood hinges. (I realize that these parts were not painted from the factory, but it is a driver - trying to look the part.) And, combing over the entire car looking for any small imperfections,and correcting them.

30 over 454 street, edelbrock cam, heads, intake performer rpm package. Have a 4 speed, I like it so far. My double pumper, when running good ran rich. This is a world of difference for throttle response and street driving compared to a holley dp.

Glad to hear. Theirs is a .040" over Gen V 454 from ATK. GMPP ZZ502 HO cam, cnc'd AFR 265s, Edelbrock Torker II intake. I want it to have good power and road manners so they can enjoy it.

Not happy at all right now. Put the hood on, not fitting like it was before. I am begining to think the hinges are shot. I swear, I would get my gaps good... open and close the hood a few times - and the damn thing had moved. I have some paint chips and gouges in the body work to fix now.

Talk to me about hinges, aftermarket? Or is there someone good that can rebuild them?
