It's coming together man. Hindsight, I should have checked the car out when I was down there on Saturday.

Stop by another weekend! Hopefully I will have a running car in a few weeks.

Looks great Brain! I'll try and stop by this week and shoot the shit. School is getting crazy and I need a break sometimes. lol

I know what you mean I will be happy when this week is over and I will very happy when it is the 26th when I have my last final!

Saturday should work, I need to locate some more parts, and make a list so we can be productive.
Make sure you bring your white shoes!

This birdy was telling the truth. A big thanks to Darren and Morgan today!!
Because of them I was able to make alot of progress on the Chevelle.

Darren and I preped and painted some of my green interior panels/reat seat and helped with a few other other things.
The fuel pump to carbuator line isn't reproduced for my car so I had to make one from scratch. Well after several failed attempts, Morgan came to the rescue and bent this one up in ONE try and it turned out great!!! After that I started to figure out some the wiring, in the engine compartment and I started to install the front carpet. I hope to update thie thread again in a few day with some news that the the engine runs!

Well the master cylinder I bought new 4 year ago turn out to be wrong so I bought another master cylinder, new door and rear 1/4 trim panels, and some parts to run an open element air cleaner.

Thanks! I will be sure to let you know. Dan said he could have used your help on Saturday and you were no where to be found.

I am hoping to have it driveable for the meet and greet on June 5th. I don't think it will be 100% happy until the end of the summer when I decide on wheels/tires, coil springs, getting my fiberoptics working, adding stripes and figuring out all of the other bugs.

Thanks, Well I guess I fail for a while.

on 7/13/1998 the previous owner had a new system installed($240.01 ). It isn't the greatest but it should get be by until I have $1200+ to spend on an nice set of headers and a mandrel bent exhaust system.

Yeah... He was laying pavers at his house. I was up in Midland all weekend But I start back at the shop working 1-2 days a week on Friday. It'll be a week to week schedule pending how busy the architecture firm gets.
