Mod the Formy or Chevelle???
Mod the Formy or Chevelle??? I'm in a mental quandary. (yeah yeah, no comments from the peanut gallery!) 
Sell most the Formy mods I have gathered and get the Chevelle on the road, or, install all the mods on the Formy and plug away at the Chevelle as money permits.
I'm leaning towards leaving the Formy mostly as is, as my daily driver, and get the Chevelle running and on the road for a street/strip car.
Thinking of installing the valve springs, retainers and pro mag rockers on the Formy, for reliability of course.
Then selling off the sway bars, cam, linelock, timing chain, and whatever else I have stashed away for it, and throwing that money at the Chevelle.

Personally I would get that Chevelle tricked out, but I am a sucker for old school muscle. 
I saw a '67 Camaro with a 350 TPI motor that made me cry. I am looking under the couch for extra pennies right now.

Formula is already in the 12's you can have plenty of fun just the way it is. Almost going to need to hit the Lottery to be at the top of the list.
As far as the Chevelle go slow do it right. There was a black one at the show, I believe he got one of the top awards for Muscle car.

That paint job is awesome! It's the first car I noticed from the upper deck too. Fantastic car and well done. Very understated and those wheels look great on it. Perfect stance too.
Someday mine will look like that, but in a dark green color.
