Had the Chevelle out for 2 more runs today. Taking short runs to see how everything sounds and drives. Took it over and had the electrical check to make sure everything is working correctly. Time to get it to an alignment shop now that everything is torqued down. Hard to believe I only have 55 miles on it since last July when I finished most of the major stuff. Still have some electrical to sort out so all my guages will work correctly.

Ray, it's really not hard to think that you only have 55 miles on it since last July. When the car is finished, you take it out and put a couple miles on it, then take it back to the garage and tweek a few things. Then do that over and over again. And then there are times that the weather doesn't cooperate. I am just glad that you are able to get it out not. I am waiting on the weather so that I can get mine out of storage.

It only had 30 miles on it up til today. Trips have been getting longer and I have been driving it faster and harder each trip. It gets up and flat out moves when you get on it. Once the alignment is done it's time for a few hundred mile drive. It's a blast to drive so it will not be sitting this summer.

So by the end of summer your number will have a few zeros behind it.
 I hope to be right there with at least a few thousand miles on mine this summer. It sat for so long with the transmission problems last year. Finally got it fixed with just enough time to put her away for the winter.

I decided to see if my 15" SS wheels would fit over the rear disc calipers today....
Nope, of course they don't.  I knew it might be close and was hoping through some grinding I might be able to manipulate them to work, but it isn't even close. The wheel won't even go onto the studs.Guess it was a good thing I like the Billet Specialties on the car but I was really hoping it would work so I could switch back and forth. Especially on longer trips, like the Power Tour this summer.

Just reread your post, sounds like very few 15" wheels will clear those calipers. That is a bummer.

I am dying here. Yesterday was in the 50's and my son asked when we were going to get the Chevelle out of storage. I just want the weather to get a little more consistant. Yeah, I know I am talking about Michigan, one minute it is snowing and the next minute it is 75 degrees. But really, I need to do a major cleaning on the garage before I bring my car home.

I feel your pain, I really want to get back to work on my car. But I have this Monte Carlo situation to deal with... among other things. Add in that I promised my father I would dedicate 95% of my time to his truck. I have no idea when I'll get to it.
