Didn't realize that was your car there. Looked at it several times last week.

Beautiful car!

The base wade made by a guy at CMC machining up in redding CA. The stem and mirror head are from Sun Specs in AZ.

Awesome. I also looked at it 3 or 4 times and I didn't realize this was your car. Engine bay looks great.

Congrats on the interview and being selected to participate. That's cool!

Did you end up selling this car? Seems like it was sold weeks after finishing it.

I did sell it. A guy saw it at SEMA and made me an offer I couldn't turn down. It had 7 miles on it. I miss it.

I figured as much, I knew it had to be a good deal. You made an amazing car, I am currently working on my 66 chevelle. I have all your videos saved as favorites on youtube of the chevelle. I found those prior to finding this thread, great job with the build.

You guys are too kind. Wyattroa I'm flattered for sure. Let me know if I can ever help you on your build. Those early A bodies have some challenging spots, but are very straight forward.

The Ridetech suspension is the way to go. I just bought another A Body and will be doing the Stage 3 kit again. Car felt so positive.

Ridetech has been the number one thing on my list since I bought the car. I am slowly gathering parts. I have the upper and lower ridetech control arms. This weekend I am going to be working on boxing in the frame with the ABC kit and finishing up the welds on the smooth firewall.

What made you go with the richmond 5 speed versus the tko600 or t56 magnum? Did have to do with the trans tunnel and not wanting to cut it?
