hi buddy , was at the Daytona 500 ...vip guest of RCR...then went to the Dominican for a week ...first day back at work dropped a clamp missed the steel toe and broke my baby toe , oh and Canada revenue has decided to screw me MASSIVELY 50 k$ due to my moms estate . So I will be hiding for a bit until I figure it all out lol .
Glad to report a few new parts for the Chevelle , my anvil hood is here if you didn't know that , a new fast ratio box to replace my stock one , new dash pad ....think that's it .
cheers

New heated Trailcat seats from Corbeau, VERY comfortable, only 20" wide at the base which is perfect for these narrow trucks

Good to see your progress Steve.

I like those seats...

[Sheck44]

Thanks Skip ... now things should move pretty quick on full assembly

No 69 Camaro LOL .... but time for the exciting part of the build

It’s looking good, the frame looks brand new.

Quality of the leather and the stitching is superb

What happened to these...?

[Sheck44]

Ha ... Jeff good catch !
Ok, so those (with the white stitching) are going to go into the 66' Turbo diesel, colour still TBD but it will have the hard top and the customary white roof so the white stitching will tie in ...
