I washed my 72' yesterday. It hadn't been washed in who knows how long. :(

Trying to work out a little carb issue (SMI Q-jet) on the wagon.
Might just swap on a Holley until I find the issue. Holleys are so much more inside my comfort zone!!

I did nothing after work today ,feel like crap so I have been laying on the couch ,truck is back at bodyshop.

Why is your truck back at the body shop flash ?

i started mine up since i need some kind of motivation

They are going to install my aluminum radiator and clutch fan to hopefully get my overheating problem fixed ,I was going to do it but Im a bit under the weather .They are also fixing some smaller issues like horn not working ,1 backup light not working .They were slow this week so I decided to let them have it for a few days .Everywhere I take the truck it draws a crowd ,I had one lady ask if it was for sale as she loved it and she isnt a car person.

I hope you don't have any plans on selling it. David and I are looking to take the kids on a vacation down south to some of the historical sites. I told him if we do then we are definately going to go all the way down to Georgia and see your car collection. So you better keep it around for a long time.

Its not for sale ,its a keeper ,it came home today and is running nice and cool with the air on high.

I about to go to work. But I did go down and just sit in her a few minutes and drink some coffee. Feel like a little kid sitting in Dad's car pretending to drive.

Going home today, hope to get mine out over the weekend. Might even do a car show on Sunday.

Finally got mine running well enough to drive around a little this afternoon!!
The SMI carb I've been dealing with is going out for repair. Replaced it for now with a Summit rebuilt Qjet I had ordered yesterday & was delivered this AM.
Took a gamble on buying it but it does work satisfactory.

If you pull the summit carb off and decide to sell it, hit me up. The ramp truck could use a new q-jet but as little as I use it I haven't been too motivated to work on it.

Will do Eric!! ;)
Bought this one...

Try Ken @ everyday performance. I was VERY happy with the QJet he rebuilt for my Monte Carlo.

I've had SMI do the carb on the Chevelle and the Camaro and could not be happier with them....I love it that they got rid of the QJET bog. The Camaro does use more gas than before though.

Finally home so I worked on the car trailer. Got chrome center caps and lug nuts for it today. New spare on it and now it ready to go for the season. Rain now so the Chevelle sits in the garage for now.

I actually washed mine today. I think that it has been over 7 months since she had a bath, pretty bad huh ? lol I didn't do much else because I wanted to take her out and drive. Oh yeah and go to my first car show of the season. Great night out with my son Jacob.

took off the rest of the driver side shoulder cowl

I still did nothing with the Chevelle ,been enjoying the truck too much ,maybe next weekend we will cruise the vert.

Wife and I took the Chevelle out to the local burger place tonight. Her idea, I almost fell off the chair when she suggested it. She usually wants nothing to do with the Chevelle. :banana:

Looks like you are making progress there.

i hope by the end of this week it will all be together and take the doors off fix the bushings and paint the door jams and where the handles go!

Front Spoiler
 

Today I got my front spoiler from UPS and had it on in 30 min. Only needed a ratchet, 7/16" & 1/2" sockets, 7/16" wrench, drill & 1/4" bit and 2 small clamps help. It helps to use ramps if you have them. (I do and didn't use them)

Check it out here http://www.spoilersbyrandy.com/Pages/default.aspx

I've seen the spoilers on more and more cars lately. I'm still on the fence if I like them on the Chevelle's. Looks good on your car.

Same here, not a fan. But, if we all liked the same thing - that would be boring!

This spoiler is satin black (so it doesn't look bad at all), not a monster of a thing and it does work. It directs air from under the bumper to directly into your radiator. I don't have any overheating problems what so ever, so this is more for looks.

I like the way it looks and Randy is a very nice guy ,met him one year at Chevellabration .He also converts GM bullet mirrors to fit Chevelles .

Looks good on your car Ken. I am still on the fence wether I like them too.

went to a car show today and sat in my buddy's 70 chevelle man i love that car

Hey John, take a look at my mirrors. (on my spoiler pic) $29.00 a pair from Summit. Mirror glass is 1" wider and 3/4" taller than stock ones.

Are those chrome ,hard to tell ? We wanted ours painted to match the car and Randy fixed us up but I need some decent ones for my El Camino someday.

If the stormy weather ever leaves I will get our toys out ,been stormy just about every day the last couple weeks .Storming here now .

Well at least the car trailer got used today. I'm still in the Seatlle area until next thursday. Son had a good time with it today, the dunes were calling.

Yeah John they are chrome. The head is plastic but the base is metal. For the price they're great.

Ray,
Heading for Seattle on Saturday...boarding Princess Alaska cruise Sunday afternoon.

Thinking about dragging out the wagon, giving it a badly needed bath, and heading over to a local cruise this afternoon.

I will be in Oregon. Shoot was hoping might still be the area. Most likely will be at our beach house that weekend.

We took the truck out to gas it up and run some errands ,was going to take the vert out afterwards but its looking very stormy again .

Ray my husband used to have a 72 Jeep Commando that he lifted and he would have a blast at the dunes. It was funny cause people were not sure what it actually was.

My car has sat in the garage all thru this beautiful weekend. I had a wedding cake to do Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning. Then I had to work on my garden for the rest of the day Saturday and most of the day today. I don't think that I could shift the dang thing into drive my arms are so tired. :(

Beautiful weather this afternoon. Comfortable temps and a breeze.
Spent it hanging out with friends at a local fund raising car show. Even got a little sunburn.
The wagon is running great...lots of positive comments today. :)

Went to the Pier 500 Metrocruisers show today. Sun was a killer with 84* temp....glad I took the popup to sit under.
