Used to be a guy on Team Chevelle (Willie ? ) that rebuilt hinges .

That's him.I spoke to him last night, very nice guy. Going to pull the hood back off tomorrow and send him my hinges.

Found some back roads and flogged the Chevelle with the new fuel injection. Love it so far, throttle response is a world of difference. I thought I had my double pumper tuned good but this efi is awesome.

Done installing the new clutch and replacing the bushings on the shifter. Also, I decided to order ironman tires because of the price.

I pulled the front clip off of the 68 today. Spent a day last week getting the 307 & PG ready to come out. Hopefully next day I have off, I can get the engine and transmission out. I want to completely remove everything on the firewall and front frame rails. Going to clean, paint, set up my engine mounts for the LS swap.

Are you going to smooth the firewall? Or just take things apart to clean and paint?

Originally, I was wanting to refurbish what was there. But, now I am thinking a Vintage Air system would be more tidy/trouble free. So most likely I will end up welding up the factory holes in the firewall.

I canabalized a 71-72 core support to fix the one off of my 68. It was a spare, and had some rough edges.

I see what you'll be doing for the whole summer.

Put a new advance curve kit in the distributor. Old one seemed fine but the idle wouldn't always drop down to where it should be. Had a hell of a time adjusting the timing, guess I need to put in heavier springs. Seems like the advance was coming in at idle which made it harder to adjust. Not today though, in the 80's and a lot hotter than that in garage, leaning over a big block.

Been pecking at it here and there. I bled the brakes and got it back on 4 wheels. Hood fit horrible, sent my hinges out to be rebuilt. Hood fits way better, still needs some work to get the body lines better.
