i just want to say hi to all you team chevelle owners out there.we all have to same love and passion for our cars.this is a great site and have been visting it for years.after seeing all the great ads and forums i thought it was now time to join.......
my first car was a 69 SS 396 chevelle and have had it for 20 years now.the sad thing is that it has sat in my garage for 15 years not running.....:-(the good new is that i found the passion again to get the car back on the road where it belongs.the past 2 months or so i have been buying parts to restore my baby back to it former glory.since its been stored for most of the time i have owned it the car is in great shape.it just needs some TLC and a good paint job.with some time and help from teamchevelle i hope to get the car back on the road.

the good new is that i found the passion again to get the car back on the road where it belongs

That is good news :) Just don't go crazy and burn yourself out....take your time and enjoy the time you spend working on the car. If you get tired of it, take a break for a couple weeks or months. Check in here when you need help. Sounds like a cool car :thumbsup:
