Getting closer to paint! When do you think you will spray it?

Hoping sooner than later, but not 100% sure when. I would say no later than the 1st week of May though.

Waiting for it to warm up, then heading over there to see what I can get done.

A significant update, everything is jambed in and the panels are rehung. It won't be long now.

It's going be a nice looking car when you get done.

Had a guy who is gonna cut a tree down tomorrow. Looked at it. He kept saying you need to start driving this around.

I just finished installing a holley sniper efi for the chevelle. Seems good so far. Try to get it more drivable around town.

What is your engine combination? I got one for my folks 72, hoping it plays nice with the 454 in their car. It's not radcal, but far from "stock."

Basically I have been doing all the nit pick, pain in my arse things. I replaced all of the brake lines and the proportioning valve. What a nightmare, I hate pre bent lines. I used two kits, from two different vendors to get lines that worked. Even still, the line from the prop valve to the driver's side caliper hose is too short - neither kit had one long enough. The front to rear main line fit well,thankfully. I painted the underside of my hood, and repainted the tie bar - it had a ton of chips and scratches. I stripped and repainted some parts that weren't the right color/finish. Calipers, hood hinges. (I realize that these parts were not painted from the factory, but it is a driver - trying to look the part.) And, combing over the entire car looking for any small imperfections,and correcting them.

You keep gettin with it there. I about to join you I getting caught up on other things. New roof gutters and had a couple trees cut down. Wife said that was more important than the car can live in that. FFFT speak for yourself woman I did in my youth more than one chevelle.

Anywho interior is schedualed to start when fall rolls around. I told her thats it till the cars done. Geeze women I get a boat so she wants a new roof.

30 over 454 street, edelbrock cam, heads, intake performer rpm package. Have a 4 speed, I like it so far. My double pumper, when running good ran rich. This is a world of difference for throttle response and street driving compared to a holley dp.
