I'm ordering the last of my parts Wednesday. They should be balanced and back in hand by the end of the month, then 3 short weeks for re-assembly and testing.

I spent another 1.5 hr polishing my wheels, POWER BALL...even removed the pass side rear rim and polished it on the bench. Then I cruised over to Sevent1Nomad CRAIG's for a bit. His wagon is a pretty darn impressive machine.....

When she got back from the movies, I told wifey I'd been polishing my wheels. Wifey said I should get new wheels ......so gonna have to take her up on this at some point....might mean I have another room to remodel or something! I'll be quoting her when I submit the proposal....I did say tires too, she said, DON'T PUSH IT.
(frees the old wheels for DRs or slicks...)

The skies were clearing on the way home from Craig's....three 50's cars in convoy heading toward Steilacoom, cool sight.

All you North end bastages have fun cruising SUN!!!!!

I have to pass on the cruise for another couple of months. Look out this summer, though..the 66 will be street-legal once again and threatening everything in its way! I can't wait.

Brian, need a passenger? Come out and check out the new place.

I'll be cruising to Eatonville monday to pick up some go fast parts from an old boat racer buddy, should be a good jont in the '70.

I plan to go to the end of my street tomorrow. :)

Still no tags, windshield or exhaust, but my 'glass frontend is now done. With the vaccuum modulator hooked up on my tranny:clonk:, I should be able to hit 3rd gear by the time I reach the golf course at the end.:thumbsup:

Not a long cruise like some of you, but some seat time nonetheless.

Hey Ben if you see this Im going to church right now and Im usually home by 11-11:15 So I will call you then. Time is up to Darryl as he has plans this morning and was going to call me. I live about 2 miles up from Charlies off of 20th so if you wanted to meet at frontier villiage that would be cool.

Decided to bring home the '66 today :thumbsup: The weather looks good and my buddy has the day free so we can move some boats out of the way in his shop and get my car out, its been in storage too long! Smells like burnt rubber around here just thinking about it.

Whomever isnt taking there chevelle out today is out of their mind. Light em up boys....if you can....the season is about ready to begin.:hurray:

Darryl, Frank,Kevin and the eastside guys take some pics of your cruise, and pavement sealer.

Mike, bring the 66 on over today and we could cruise around town. Or sit shotgun in the bumblebee if you prefer.

Brian, gong to head straight home today because I don't have the '66 insured! I know its dumb, just have not got around to it yet.

got the asphalt sealed and ready for summer.

Tried out my first WOT from a stand still today since I put the transmission in last season, usually just go about 3/4throttle in 2nd and it goes pretty sideways. What do you know, jump on it from a stand still and it stayed pretty straight.:D

I want to thank Ben and Kevin for taking me along as I'm Chevelle-less these days. I think both your cars are going to much, much better this season.
Kevin- How'd that exhaust sound at 7,000rpms...:D

I think it's time I get off my azz and get my car on the road...:yes:
I should be able to get the rear end back together this week and slap them heads back on the following week.

That sun was a real nice change...:cool:

I think your talking about Darryls 427 at 7000:thumbsup:
It is insane, Truly makes my car feel slow. I will however be building one of my own at the end of the year:thumbsup: and if it turns out like Darryls then I would be really happy. Then I could take people for a ride and scare the crap out of them:D:thumbsup:

Here's a good way to kill a good driving day, let your tags expire during winter and forget about it until the weather gets nice.

In my copious (Brett, this means "a lot of") spare time today I went and reconned some headers for Doc Smokum. I later picked them up for him. Nice day to be out!!!

Seller Mike liked the Elky...asked that question, "What's it got, a 396?" grrrrr
He said he liked the wheels! I guess the recent wheel polishing has helped. Out back he had a bad-a$$ 67 Camaro w/468 and some serious stuff...runs 11s...NA, no squeeze. Another frigging BOEING employee.

Ya know, most every Boeing employee I know (8outa 9) has classic or muscle cars.....go figure.
