Put some miles on the Chevelle for the first time in a while!

Also played a role in what should have been a new world record

Quick video - wrong orientation and not the best but I was focused on holding the line lock, not sliding sideways into either car next to me, as well as maintaining a reasonable RPM/Speed so as not to completely melt the tires off the car in Memphis.

My car was sitting at the Tremec tent in Birmingham, which was cool I guess. Was a PITA to get all the rubber cleaned off from Memphis though!

I watched the show on TV when they built that Chevelle. Don't remember which show it was though. Turned out pretty cool.

I am still here and kickin. But it is summer and work got me buried. Retiring isn't working out so well for me LOL. Oh you retired them you got time to rebuild my car or paint this or build this.
I doing maintenance on my van and truck. Got a engine ordered to put in a CRV.
But really I am about to order a ton of junk which will keep me busy for a long time. At this point I be happy to get the top on before the heat is over. It is looking like work wont die down till fall. I be working on the chev all winter.
I been just looking at her alot and wishing I had time to do something. Every time I get parts spread on the bench to do something. I just have to clear them off because I got some other work to do.

Changed the oil, now I need to fire it up while I have it in the air and see if I can find the oil leak. I have had it with this leak, I could spit nails.
