Had some extra time Wednesday between jobs, so me and my brother jumped in the car and went over to Dads house. My brother truly enjoyed the ride, and we went by the alignment shop on the way over. Car drives way better now!
Dad got in and we went for a 30 minute trip, with in town and interstate driving. Coming off the interstate exit ramp, I was rolling in 2nd, opened it up big, and spun 3rd gear. He smiled pretty big, so the entire last 4+ years of my life building this car at that moment became worth it all. To impress the old man, I think I did pretty good on this one. I just wish he had drove the car. He declined, but maybe next time.
Overall I'm quite happy with the Chevelle. Ride quality is great, Thanks to Ron Sutton! Power is plentiful, brakes stop the car excellent, seats are comfy, steering is accurate, clutch has a small amount of chatter, but should get better with age, radio sounds great, everywhere we go, people take pictures and wave, blow their horn, and give thumbs up. All in all, it's a total success for me. No regrets at all at this point! The odometer reads 370ish right now, and I'll put a couple hundred more this weekend on it. Researching cameras currently, so I can post real pictures of the car on here.
More later!!
