Uh oh.... bad news! Unless you have owned a C3 in which case you pretty much expect to see something like this. Kind of like how a Chevelle that has been outside for much of its life will have rear window and/or quarter panel issues.

Firewall gutted and Vintage Air going in. Dynomat behind everything because these cars get HOT inside if not properly insulated!

And that brings me current through yesterday! Should have this thing running soon!! I am super excited!! The new windshield still needs installed along with all the trim but I am hoping to have the motor done so it can be taken on a few legs of the Power Tour this year! The plan was to finish the rear suspension just as nice as the front before the Tour but I am not sure there will be enough time. If so, hopefully once I get back from the Tour I can get it back over to my buddy's house and we can finish the rest.

This car will likely get driven more than the Chevelle once it is done! That is until I want to go out and slam some gears in a Big Block.....

Bill, if you read this - you were supposed to build an LS for your car, get bored and then sell it to me...... I got tired of waiting though ;)

Looking good. I like the wagon Bill is building:banana:

Damn Eric ,you have been busy ,what is happening with the Chevelle ,the Vette looks great .
