It is so exciting when you finally get your car back and get ready to take that first ride. Congratulations. Can't wait to hear how everything goes and see some pics.

Busy day today, got some much needed help from my son today. Car is really close to fire. Just need a couple of clips to finish hooking everything up under the dash. A new battery and it will time to fire. Here's a few pic's from today.
Son Helping out, note all the pictures we had out to help

All the inner fender wells in, clutch problem was fix this morning

Front valance and bumper installed.

We managed to break the cowl seal on top of the air cleaner trying install it. Still need a wing nut for the air cleaner, hook up the wiper washer hoses, and try to get the reverse switch installed on the column, and the spedo cable hooked up.

The ride went great Ms grumpy! Me and my 2 sons cruised for a couple hours today and the thumbs up's and beeping of the horns never stopped the whole time. Both my kids are into cars and one won't let me go in the car anywhere without them. We Go to all the car shows together and he loves it. I'm just so happy to have my car back with a mint paint job and interior. Will defanitly post some pics soon!

Got the spedo cable finally installed, but seem to have an issue with my steering column. I'm missing the bracket and holes on it to mount the back uo light switch on the lower portion on the column to turn my back up lights on. It may be a winter project since I may need to pull the column back out.

I was about to get a bunch of small stuff done today but then my wife dislocated her shoulder in the pool and this is the third time total. The last time was 3 months ago! There were 2 firefighters and 2 paramedics and they all loved the chevelle in the driveway. One of the firefighters this time was the paramedic last time and he said I remember you, you were at the top of the stairs last time. It's all back in now and she might have to have surgery but I'm hoping not.
