I'll be installing the fenderwells this morning and terminating the hoses once I get a feel for length. I hope to have the wiring completed inside two weeks and the shifter turret completed this weekend. Pics:




Dave. You have done such an amazing job on the chevelle, I have to admit I am jealous.. Your a master craftsman.. Looking awesome... Thanks for all the posts..

Well yesterday was a big day for the Chevelle. It left the house under its own power for the first time. The MSD Atomic EFI in incredible. It's still learning itself and the rings are still seating but it's alive. The dash will be going in tonight as well as the real seats once the brackets get here. Then it's off to the upholstery shop. The exhaust is 3 inch, X pipe, and Borla XR-1s done by my brother and myself. The cam is the stock ZZ502 roller from GMPP. The air cleaner is temporary of course.

Looks great Dave!!! Inspiring to say the least! Maybe now with baseball officially done and my coaching hats are hanging up - I'll blow the dust off mine again and get working on it again. LOL! I still need to come by and check it out. Congrats again!
