Welcome. The car looks great. I'm glad it's working well for you.

Car looks good. Once you get it dialed in, it oughta be great in CAM.
Noticed the NE plate. Would be nice if you posted your location in your profile. I'm originally from Gering. Now in Chandler, AZ doing autoX with AZSolo.

Saw your reply over on Lance's thread. Replacing the body mounts with some stiff aftermarket ones, patching the rusted frame holes( I'm sure some are bad . They usually are. ) and maybe even boxing the frame rails should make a huge difference. If you look on Chevelles.com, there used to be a thread or two on making a simple body brace between the rear wheel wells( sort of an "X" behind the back seat using 1/8" flat strapping).

I noticed you are using an F-body oil pan. Did you have to do anything to keep the inner tie rods ends from hitting it at full lock? Have you thought of using the roadrace baffle for inside the pan. I think there is one available for the stock pans as well as the Holley pans.

Cool car. What rear bar are you running? Car will likely turn better with softer rear bar. Stiffer rear bar unloads inside tire too much, hence the wheel spin.
