What Did You Do To Your Chevelle Today

[BillsCamino]

Been tinkering with the Sprint all morning...waiting on a guy to drive up from Tampa and pick up an engine...hopefully this afternoon.

Replaced the ugly original steering wheel with a like new one donated by a Chevelle buddy!!
Cleaned up some of the underdash wiring and replaced a few instrument panel bulbs. Don't really like the looks of that printed circuit.
Installed the re-conditioned factory AM/FM radio and removed the dash pad to examine the dash speakers.
They're toast...gonna get replaced too.

New carpet goes in this afternoon...

Yes but that is why i got it cheap. Only thing good is exactly what i needed. And nothing else.

Making a winter to do list today. Looks like I will be tearing the car apart this winter again. Not looking forward to it.

What are you doing that you're going to have to tear your car back apart this winter?

Dash is coming out, temp gauge and tach stop working. Im sure it's not a ground issue, and the tach worked funny when I got the car running and now it doesn't work at all. I also noticed yesterday the heater control plate cracked across the middle of it. The motor is leaking oil badly now. Not sure if I will have to pull it for a rear main yet or if it is a valve cover or the intake. I find no oil up high on the motor. Im hoping while the dash is out I can find an original dash bezel and replace the repro one. while it's out I will also get the radio working and finish installing under the dash lighting. Car only has 380 miles on it since I started driving it 3 years ago. I would drive it more if I wasn't leaking the oil under it.

Dash work
Motor oil leak
Might also put in a new wiring harness and fuse box while I have it apart again.

What all parts are you salvaging out of it? Does it have the SS or Malibu dash?
