Whooooo hooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

The 1970 Elco 4six3 CI BBC chevy is alive and running beautifully!!!!!!!!! 8 years in the making!!! :beer:



My six is broken. lol

I've never owned a car 8 years,let alone working on it that long. You must be very patient elcoman. Congrats.

About 8 years ago some B&*#@ crashed into my Elco while it was parked. I had the elco from 91 until '02.:( I had installed my first motor built by me. It was the first BBC I had ever put in it. I got to drive it less than 2 months before it was totaled.:mad:
I found this one at a gas station/garage. I bought it for $500. It had a crappy 305/7000r4 combo. It had wood screws holding things together. I was too hard headed to drive it like that after driving my other Elco with a BBC. So I rebuilt the suspension and motor. I swapped my old disc brakes on this one.

This one does have a 12 bolt, so I got something in the deal, but I want my 8 years back.:(


Thanks Gary!Waving

I have little patience, the guy that did my driveshaft hates me.:rolleyes: He was a jerk anyway. The driveshaft does look pretty.

Congrats! elcoman. I know your face looks like this :)
Now get out that and repave that road in front of your house. :)
Mine sat for many years also. I drove it with a step stool in it after getting everything done except the interior. LOL
Gary, Wow, you've never owned a car more than 8 years?
Newby to muscle cars? just started liking them? or get bored and have to have something new every few year?
Oh, you also make a great "official chevelleforum greeter". No doubt. No one can fill your shoes.

I got to register and insure the Elco first.

Congratulations, Jay! Nothing like hearing those ponies come to life for the first time! :cool:

Oh. And....

:worthless:

Not new to muscle cars. I just tire of them plus being in the business helps.:)Wish I had all the money I spent over the years.:( My SS is the longest I've ever owned a car,2 years 3 months and planning on keeping it!

She is an ugly gray primer that only a car guy can love. I am going to try and post a video tomorrow.

I can't wait!!!!!:D

That's great, I can't imagine waiting 8 years, I have no patience.

Pretty sure everyone here is a car guy, post away.
