A little progress on my Chevelle - Page 11 - Lateral-g Forums

I changed my remote oil lines to XRP fittings and hose and they cured the oil line leaking. Still have a little leak somewhere but it is small. I got the front end aligned Today. Seat belts are next but I jumped on the I-10 freeway for a run through the gears on the way home. It was fun but I can't help feel a little nervous over every little noise

. I think it stems from you have turned a wrench on every bolt on this car and wondered how many or what I missed

The car seems real rowdy right now because of the lack of side/rear windows, carpet, door panels etc.
The valve train seems very noisy while driving but again it is hard to tell right now. Power seems to be crisp and good although it has a slight miss so I know I will need to get a tune. I am so glad I bypassed the paint part for now because the driving/running part has refueled this on & off again project for me. I still look forward to getting done with paint and all but for now I will continue to work out all the kinks. I hope to get the spotted mutt in one solid primer color in the next few weeks.

If you have valvetrain noise that exceeds your windowless ride.... you'd better run that rack again - 'cause that's just not right IMHO.

Love the looks of this car - even in it's coat of many colors! LOL

Hey man,

Looking real good...I am doing the same thing as you. I am going to get all the underpinnings nailed down first then get her painted. I will get her all in a single coat of primer but for now that will be as far as she goes. I want to drive my toy this summer...period.

You are great motivation man!
