What Did You Do To Your Chevelle Today

[Ken Hayes]

Here's a few pics of assembly. The multi-colored stuff is some sticky back foam board for a touch of padding. Slow but sure, and its comin together.

[flash]

It's looking good .

Looking good, you could add the console harness and add a couple of side lights and it would light up on the floors when you open the doors like the original had for the back seat area.

Was going to drive the car today, but the battery was dead. Charging now. Hope the battery will charge. It's only 3 years old and is a gei cell battery. Didn't put the battery tender back on after I drove it last and left the battery hooked up to the car. I usually disconnect the positive cable.

I do too.
Seems like the '72 clock and the radio memory will drain down a battery over a week or so if left hooked up.
Never had that issue before on previous Chevelles...all had no or non functioning clocks and stock push button radios.

Finished up the wiring in the engine compartment and put the engine back in, hopefully for the last time this spring. Even put the bolts in the motor mounts. Finished up the wiring for the gas gauge and mounted the license plate light. Pulled the battery tray out, a battery must have leaked at some point because it was new but it's in rough shape. I sprayed it and the fender black after taking the wire wheel to them. Cleaned out the passenger compartment and started on the dash wiring. Disassembled the dash, cleaned it all up, painted the supports and started putting it back together. Removed the passenger side rear window and all associated hardware. The teeth that hold the window crank on are stripped. Have to figure out what I want to do with that. Very productive weekend for me.

Nothing exciting, still stripping paint off of the 72' I am hoping to repaint it next month.

While I read of all the stuff that you guys are doing I am dying to get my car out of storage. I am jealous.

I keep looking at mine and waiting. The ol family come first came back into play and I just waiting again.
Kid and her college is it this time.
I keep hearing the old saying. It will never run again LOL. Friends dad used to say that every time he started a project car.

I know it shouldn't bother me. But on facebook somebody posted insulting stuff again. No reason just being a jerk. Just seems it isn't going away. So I quit the group. I don't need aggravating notifications. They make the hobby not fun.

I know it isn't all. Like shadow is cool as hell so take this whith a grain of salt. But it just seem's like some of the numbers guys. Really put the SS in "a SS hole".

I really am considering quitting all social media concerning chevelles and just enjoy the car locally. Because honestly only a numbers owner cares nobody else does.

They talk nothing but dirt. I try to be the bigger person. and not fire back. Like original color combos and lack of options. Oh that is cooler you got the car that embarrassed anyone to own when it was new. And look you put a ricer hood on it to isn't that special.

Mopar and ford don't have this going on. It is just annoying you can't have fun without some prick running their mouth.

Sorry i just had to vent.
