Ring...Ring...Ring, Hello "This is Chris Alston's, your Fab9 & g-Link is ready"
 

I am taking a few hours off in the AM to pick my parts up tomorrow!!! Pics are coming!!!:thumbsup:

Do I have enough time to get it under the car and running to drive to Danville 8-26-10?:_paranoid


Here are the Strange axles that showed up 2 days ago....

Dam you are putting in some $$$ in her. :cheers: Keep the pics coming...

Not me...My wife...I let her have the bank account but the deal is I get what I want:lol: :woot:

OK not everything but for the time being she is OK with my Chevelle build:D

I think there may be a catch to it, Let me guess she wants her own walk in closet for her shoes?:rofl: :cheers:

She's a keeper.

Umm no, the catch is that having a wife that is all good with toys like this is that she always wants her own. She wants a convertible 66' :rolleyes:

Yes it's that bad or good, we have matching trucks.... Serious:lol:

Really she is a great wife, you can't hate them I they back you with your ideas and dreams. I love her.:)

I hear you, my Chevelle was bought by my wife. I thought about selling it a while ago and she refused to sell it and did not talk to me for a couple of days. She also paid for my Rushforth wheels.

On a side note how is Brutus?

Very nice Nick!
Keep us posted.:thumbsup:

NIce. :lol: She wiped you back in to shape and you still have it.:thumbsup:

He is getting big, I will update my thread about him soon so you can see how big he looks. Been great other wise other than can't keep him calm, 100mph crazy all day long:rolleyes: .

Update pics!!! Sorry I got back to the shop later than I wanted yesterday.


Here is what I picked up!!!

Lucky man!! That is awesome Nick!:thumbsup: :cheers:

So Sun am I found a issue and the rear axle housing has to go back. I am out of the game for driving the car to Good Guys this weekend:(

I will post pics of what the problem was as soon as I catch up with work.

Well I got the first kit they said and they did all the test fits but I added a Fab9 with back brace and the coil over spring contacted the axle back brace just enough to call it not drivable. They are cool guys over there and already have the housing back and are changing the brace to clear. Just one of those things with too many options not working together but not the end of the world. I should have it back in another week and going to put her together.

Sorry to hear your not making it to GGs. At least you know it will be right when you done.

that rear is killer.when money allows i want the same:thumbsup:

Been really busy with work but they called and said it's all figured out and fixed and they also finished the new sway bar I was waiting on but the owner wanted (asked) to use my axle to have powder coated and take pics all together for there catalog and on line pics, I didn't need it back so I said it was cool. Maybe get it next week depending on how things look and then install and take new pics.

Hey I heard that the guys from Chassisworks still got you into the GG show for free even though your car wasn't ready. That's a kick ass salesman for sure. :yes:
You should know as good as anyone, it's always better to hold off and do it the way you want to, the first time. Now you're getting the killer sway bar installed that you really wanted, plus it'll all be powdercoated and assembled when you get it. :thumbsup:

Keep us posted on your build progress, especially with that body style getting ever more popular each day, I'm sure the list of followers will increase. I'm sure some of on here, hint hint, will want to go for a ride when you get it all finished up.

Catch ya later

Oh man it's the world famous Sic Clint !! Whats up buddy, yea thank you for getting me into the show on the KP/Chassis Works dime:thumbsup: And yes that was awesome for you guys to powder coat it all now that the sway bar is done. I will be posting pics of it all. Just waiting for the new front end to show up and then we are going to push it over on the lift and have some fun.:woot:

Want to come over and help...your not far away.. You can bring your side kick and we will drink beer and have him work on the car..:unibrow:

Very cool of them for sure.

You got a nice arsenal of parts there for sure Nick.

Let me know if I can help out with anything if you need an extra unskilled hand. :D

Thanks Dave. What are you looking like this weekend? Mufflers and hang so Carbon Fiber parts on the Chevelle:unibrow:

Nice parts Nick, I'd be happy to lend a hand as well.

You guys are awesome... I am going to set up another 2 post lift in my building next week I hope. I am over working on my back and I have the lift already, just need to set it up and plumb air over to it. You guys are welcome to use the other lift I have here for your car to do anything if you guys come out on the weekend to do alittle car work.

Here is the test fit a few weeks back and what the issue was....

http://www.norcaltruck.com/01_misc_p...0test%2001.JPG

You can see here the coil spring was touching the rear truss, not too big of a deal to fix but not a easy way around other than cutting the truss off and welding a new one in.

These are not the g-Link trailing arms...I didn't have them yet so I used another set I had here to mock the axle up in the car.

Yea working on your back sucks! thanks for the offer on the use of the lift.

Let us know when you get the car ready for the new parts. Weekends would work best for me.

Are you a early bird? I like getting up about 6ish and working till noon, still have time for the family but get my car itch out for the day. Wonder if we can get Dave out here that early:D

I sure am, that is when I get most of my car work done on weekends....before the family wakes up :)

Works for me!

Haha!! We are on the same page then 100%...:lol:

:willy: :faint: :willy: :faint:

Damn, you guys are crazy! :lol:

Since it's not my lift I am subject to your schedule Nick! If that's what it takes I can get there in the morning, but 6am probably is a bit much since I do live in the city and all. I think I am free on Saturday morning..

What time do the gates close for me to get in Sat morning? :D

haha, weekends are too short to be sleeping in :D
...but come 10PM I'm in bed!

Good luck this weekend Nick. Keep us posted on your build.:thumbsup:

:lol: That's funny!! Let me see what I have going on and maybe we will push car play time alittle longer for your sake:lol:

I heard that!!!

What ever we end up working on I will take pics and post them...:thumbsup:

So how's that window of opportunity looking for Saturday? I'm just as excited to see all the rad parts for your Velle as I am swapping my mufflers out! :woot:

Well another couple large box's showed up with the BROWN guy this morning:woot: All the SPC front end is in. I didn't up up the box's all the way but I think the ATX spindles are still on the way.

Dave, I will figure out what I have to do with my wife and kids this weekend and get back to you tomorrow and plan out what time will work to install your mufflers. Talk to you tomorrow:thumbsup: .

More badass parts? Yeah boy. :woot:

Sounds good - lemme know the plan!

Very cool Nick. Have fun.:thumbsup:
(Make sure you keep an eye on that Dave guy!! lol):_paranoid

I know....the shoes, I saw the video too:D

Wait til tmrw Nick... I have been saving my special shoes just for when I come to your shop. :captain: :D

I hope they are not flammable............:unibrow:

now this I gotta see :willy:

It was cool hanging out with you guys. Can't wait to see more of that Chevelle Nick.

Dave, the car sounds even better now, glad the cops didn't "investigate" that noise hehe.

Jason

Same here Jason. Fun little "car show" we had, as Nick's neighbor said.

We have to get over there often and get the progress on Nick's Velle movin! Hopefully no more grinder blades decide to jet around the shop at our bodies. :lol:

The car was pretty deafening on the way home.. just how I like it. Good thing those cops were pre-occupied!

Nick should be sending me the videos of the festivities any minute. :D
