it has been just and incredible summer with the car just awesome we have drove over 6,000 miles this summer and have drag raced,autocrossed,road raced,and attended some great shows all with my family! went on a road trip with some friends that set up a drag weekend 3 days 3 states 3 tracks and nobody can trailer there cars all said and done it was 780 miles round trip and finally got the car in the 11's !! on 20" street tires.
Just saw your car on Detroit Muscle. It was at a Street Rod Nationals show on the dyno. I told my wife that car looked familiar, and I had actually just found this thread again this afternoon. Crazy how that works.

lol. everyone has seen it but me apparently! guess when you don't watch tv much you don't get to see that kind of thing. hoping to make more changes over the winter so stay tuned for that!
got completely side tracked this summer just spent most of the summer driving the Belair instead of working on it or the Chevelle. i picked up a dream machine that i never thought i would be able to own in my life! it has consumed most of my free time this summer but it will pay me back with the possibilities of what this thing can do! i plan on making the inner wheel wells,tubbs,floor pans and so much more with it i feel so blessed to even be able to own one so i thought it would be the right thing to do is paint this thing up to look like the awesome machine that it is and refresh my airbrush skills and learn new ones. the big catch is it is fricking huge and sparked off another project of finding a place to put it !
yep. On both it is a Pullmax and can be used for planishing too.
Thanks for the compliment. i always try to push myself out of my comfort zone to help learn new skills and sometimes just pound my head against the wall asking myself why i can't think simple! because everything takes 10 times longer than it should.

thanks for the compliment. looks like the Power tour is not going to be close this year so it will have to be somewhere else. good luck with your build .
