You know you could do like Gas Monkeys Garage does on there show and shoot that with a coat of clear to save the petina. It would be worth 40K, Lol.

All kidding aside I like the look.

I got my copy of Hagerty Classic Cars Magazine today and my car is in there. Small article, but fun to see it in a magazine.

I will look for it when I get my copy.

What page I got mine today

Page 20, left side

Lol, I wish I could put clear coat on it and make it worth 40K. I've actually had a few people want me to do that, but the body is to far gone to be able to or I just might. I kinda like that patina finish on some cars.

I saw it as soon as i got home! looks good!! great article

Got the rear finished and in the car.
I also added CPP rear suspension kit with the braces.
The new 373 gears are broken in....and work great.
Im wondering whats next....gages or a cheetah shifter.???

I have not even seen my Chevelle this week ,been too sick to play with it .

You didn't sound too good last Saturday. :(
Did you drive home with the top down????

Took forever, but got the driveshaft in today. It's a bitch having limited strength and flexibility in your dominant arm. Got a tracking # for my radiator last night, should be here next week.

Bill,we didnt get to drop the top ,it started raining right after we left and rained on and off all the way home .I will be glad to get over this crap.

I took the more southern route home...I-20
Didn't hit any precip until around the state line. About the same area as when I drove thru there on the way to the HOD show early that morning.
I too am SO tired of all this rain...it's doing so here right now and has most of the afternoon. :(

got the timing set and have it up and running :)

Was not a good start to my day. Went down south to a car show and this is what happened on the way down

And then this happened

Hasn't rained here in 3 months. Got my leak test done.

I was the last car in because of the flat on the trailer and got parked in the back next to the BQ area.


But the day did end better

And I made it back home with no problems.

Just gathering parts lately, new radiator, ignition coil, mandrel bent tail pipes are here, & a master cylinder is in the mail. I need belts, and a battery next.

Once I feel up to it, lots of assembly to be done. Then on the trailer for a front end alignment and exhaust system.

Started repairs on the trailer today and worked on the deck before winter gets here. Looking for wheels and tires for the car trailer for the Chevelle. Need to get the Chevelle over to a friends house and on his lift to find out where my oil leak is.

Still needs: alternator rebuild/restoration, belts, battery, the rest of the exhaust system, front end alignment. And of course me... to finish assembling it.

Looking good.

Took the Chevelle out for a cruise last night. Been a few weeks since I have had it out.

I wired my turn signals in the front and now they blink so happy :)
