It's going be a nice looking car when you get done.

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.

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.

You keep gettin with it there. I about to join you I getting caught up on other things. New roof gutters and had a couple trees cut down. Wife said that was more important than the car can live in that. FFFT speak for yourself woman I did in my youth more than one chevelle.
Anywho interior is schedualed to start when fall rolls around. I told her thats it till the cars done. Geeze women I get a boat so she wants a new roof. |
[QUOTE]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."/QUOTE]
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. |

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? http://i.imgur.com/AYt3PQZ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/jI8qVUl.jpg |
