Sure man, I have a make shift seat in the rear so the kids can still ride with me up to a show if they want to. It works out pretty good. I believe I could still get a factory seat to fit if I did some fab on the base of the seat.

I did go right through Rolla. We left on the 4th of July and were in Rolla on the 10th on our way back west. Actualy met a nice guy there that lives up the road in Doolittle. He owns Doolittle Diesel repair. I'm sure this pic looks familiar to you.

Ha it does, been there for ever, daughter in law works just behind where the pic was taken(big bull in the sky). If the guy in Doolittle was TJ I know him. I’ve lived here for 40+ years lot of friends from Doolittle to the Cuba area, wish we could have met, would have liked to checked out your 64, if I’d seen you stopped there I probably would have stopped

You running an e-brake? I have a similar set up on my car but they're Baer with no provision for an e-brake, just looking for ideas. Thanks

No e-brake on mine. They do offer a kit with the an inner drum type e-brake on the rotors but my buddy removed it all from his. He said they were a huge pain in the ***.

More changes to the Chevelle. Pulled the motor out and changed gaskets, seals and timing chain and installed a Tick performance SNS stage 2 cam and spring kit.

Everything Installed back in the the car. I fired it up yesterday and absolutely love this cam! Open headers sound amazing. She's definitely got a lope and a little wiggle to her now. LOL

Got the exhaust completed. Gibson MWA mufflers are awesome. Loud at idle and under acceleration but incredibly quiet cruising. Zero drone!
