1972 Chevelle Malibu Sports Coupe - VA (Build Thread)

Thank GOD for kick butt friends. My brother from another mother and fellow club member, Leaky Paul hooked me up big time. 2 Holley 600 CFM carbs, 2 carb kits, 2 crank bolts, and 2 brand new rally rims complete with new BF Goodrich Silvertown red line tires and all the trim rings with beauty caps.




Here's an old picture from the early 80s with the Chevelle in it. Hard to see it, but this is the only one I could find right now. If I find some better ones I will post them. Yes, that's me in the Dukes of Hazzard t-shirt. This one was taken at my birthday party at the local Burger King.

Got her to fire up for the first time in 15 years. She only runs off of carb cleaner for now. I suspect all the varnish in the system from sitting so long has the whole fuel system gummed up. I bought a new fuel pump, new OPG tank from summit, and a new sending unit.

Changed out the stupid 90 Cavalier steering wheel in favor of a cheap Grant wheel.
