What Did You Do To Your Chevelle Today

[SS Shaun]

i had a dream that i sat in mine..lol

We got the primer down on the r/r quarter and deck lid. I'm not really looking forward to stripping the rest of the car. It sucks taking off 4 paint jobs with one of them being Imron.

For the past month all I could do was dream about them. Haven't bought any parts yet. Still debating on going to a 700r4 or six speed in the 68.

I'm debating this too, 5 speed in my case let me know what and why you decide.
Thanks

Six speed is more expensive, I like having the overdrive. I guess it depends on what you want to do with the car.

Clean it up and waxed it and then tried to straighten my antenna and broke it off, I know have a hole in my fender the night before the biggest car show around here.....oh well

I agree with the price. Just trying to get the RPMs down at cruising speed. I'd like to be at about 2000 rpms at 70mph.

When I was looking to replace the trans I wanted to be able to have the power and still be able to drive it to shows without the RPM's screaming on the expressway. That is why we went with the 200R4. And I really love it. If I stomp on it, it will squawk the tires in every gear (with my street tires on it). When I get on the expressway I can cruise and get decent gas mileage.

Here is a link to the conversations we had about what trans to go with:

What gears do you have in the rear? and what diameter of tire.

Joan let me drive her vert to work today so that I can get it ready to pack tonight. Boy was the ride refreshingly cool this morning with temos in the high 50's .
