You would have fit right in in that costume at the Ohio show .

LOL !!!!
Waving

so what should i look for then? because mine are nice and bright

As long as they're bright and your satisfied...........disregard my post.

drop my family out to dinner in the chevelle :)

Attempted to start the car and break in the cam, only to get kicked in the teeth once again. :mad: I haven't stuck a gauge on it, but it has little to no compression after the cam swap. I've been in contact with the cam company, and now have to jump through hoops to get this mess sorted out.

I'm about out of patience and sanity at this point. It's a damn good thing I don't drink anymore... my liver would be crying for help.

Valves not adjusted correctly??? I'd set them all again to double check...

Just unwrapped my stripes. Yippee clear all that is left

Been over everything. I am certain this is an issue with the cam. Going to get some numbers for them tomorrow. I had over 180 psi with the other cam. (187-188 psi)

Only took 9 weeks to order and receive, but the Chevelle's new wheels are finally here! Now if I only had a car at the house to put them on.... Supposed to be coming home tomorrow!

wow guy those look great! what size are those? i am trying to figure out if i want 15 or 17s for mine

Shaun I bet you were a hit at soccer practice.

And the tires and rims are sharp.

Shaun, 18x9 front and 18x10 rear.

lol yeah and she loved the attention she got from it too.

thanks for letting me know 18x10 no clearance issues?

I'll know tomorrow but should not have any issues.

nothing! i didn't even lean on it...lol

installed my sway bar, put in some led lights for the license plate changed the oil now time to take it for a spin :)

o yeah and installed a fuel filter :)

I usually not a big fan of aftermarket wheels but I have to say you know how to pick them....love the wheels you got on the Vette and can't wait to see what these look like on the Chevelle.

DITTO!!!
Love 'em Eric. Nice choice.

I cant wait too see them on the Chevelle .

Spent all morning on my car, no closer to a solution. Next chance, I will be pulling the intake back off. I plan to stick the old cam back in and take some measurements for comparison. As it stands right now, the cam is ground incorrectly in my opinion.

Finally got a chance to take the chevelle out today. I have missed almost all the car shows I have wanted to go to this summer. Decided at the last moment to go to a local car show about 20 miles away. Warm day but a good chance to get out and enjoy some other cars. I got suprised that I took Best 70-80 car class, there was some really nice cars in that class, Took the wife out to dinner in it tonight also.

Nice wheels and tires

Congrats on the award Ray...well deserved.

Thanks Bill, I was suprised. I was in good company out there. Some really nice cars there.

Congrats on the trophy Ray ,our Malibu has not been out lately ,I did look at it today while in the shop working on my lawn mower .

picked up my daughter from school with the chevelle then took her home to give her a bath

Bath...the Chevelle or the daughter???

You beat me to that one! Lol

Ya'll are bad .

Hey...wait a minute!!! NO malice intended here.
I posted a valid question.
I have no idea how old Shaun's daughter is...I was honestly thinking pre-K school...maybe around 4 yo.

And it scares me to think that Grandsport agrees with my question. ;)

I had to look up the word malice.

lol
once a smart @#$ always a smart @#$.

I dont know how to respobd to that one ,LOL.

LOL she is 5 i picked her up from school because she was having a bad day. getting to know K and her not seeing mommy and daddy like she did (my wife and i both work for the schools) and yes she gave the chevelle a bath..lol

Glad you clarified that. Lol

Too old to change now!Waving

Rebuilt the rear suspension on the '72 today...
Removed the frame mounted trailer hitch, trailer wiring, old upper and lower control arms, original springs, and aftermarket air shocks.
Replaced with new Moog rubber bushings in the 12 bolt, fresh boxed upper and new UMI tubular lower control arms, new Moog cargo springs, ACDelco gas shocks, and added a new 7/8" rear sway bar. Rear brakes looked good.
Oh yeah...also replaced the rubber rear body filler strip and the rear bumper (orig was dented).

Tomorrow the front end suspension gets the attention...including installing a Wilwood drilled/slotted/zinc washed disc brake kit. Along with a new disc/drum master cylinder and new Rightstuff brake lines.
Surprised that this '72 has front drums...

Then ,as soon as the new carpet arrives, the front buckets come out for new Legendary covers and ACI foam.

I'll leave the engine mods for last. ;)
