Thanks Jeff! If I get enough scratch for a complete vintage air unit before Columbus, will bring the Velle to the show. If not Summer 18' God willing...

Joe it was a great week working on the velle!! We got progress and that's always good. Monday should be a big day as well getting the trans tunnel sqaured away. Soon you should be smelling sweet fumes out the tail pipes!!!!!

Take care of yourself,

The other Joe

Thanks guys! Appreciate you tuning in...I have to agree with you all!

Moving right along and really charged up about the progress since the last update. Some key issues and items off the list:

1. Drive angle set and confirmed at 3.5 degrees - no thanks to the BPR's trans-cross member. Went with the good old factory built 50 years ago.
2. Brake lines and proportioning valve installed.
3. Partial floor and complete transmission tunnel done.
4. Seats and brackets modified and sit perfectly.

All metal work done by a local guy who was a big reason why Steve's '69 looks so good. His attention to detail is tremendous!

Next steps…Wire the whole car, gauges, rad and headers.
