Heavy Chevy. If you run out of options, let me know. I could probably make you a set.

Cort, ...That wagon is gonna be wicked cool. I really like it!

Thanks! Its gonna take a while. I have it on the back burnner due to other priorities, so everything ive been doing to it has been free. Did some trading and got my Vic Jr intake for the 327 that will eventually end up in it! Slowly but surely!!

Earthquake68, thanks for the offer but mine weren't as bad as I thought. One of them had one of the legs broken off but I was able to clean it up and glue it back together. Luckily I was able to order the plastic retainers that the legs fit into, since a couple of mine were broken.

I got the deck lid back on the car and the filler panel adjusted so the gap is nice around the trunk.

I'm waiting until the election is over before I do anything else.

Kind of my take on things too. I really want to build a 69' Chevelle COPO clone. (I already have some of the parts to build such a car) But, if things don't start to take a positive turn soon - that dream of mine will die.

Why wait? The election shouldn't matter what kind of car you build. If it does, then our country is in serious trouble! Just be smart about parts you buy. Buy used, swap meet finds, materials for larger projects that are labor intensive, (such as sheet metal or body filler) and just pick away at it. With the wheeling and dealing I've done for my Chevelle, I only have about $5K invested so far. (including purchase price) I think I can finish it the way I want to for another $1,500 if I play my cards right.

I wish that I could say that. I bet a lot of others say the same thing. Good for you.
