hopefully I can get the new Moser 12 bolt installed and swap out the front subframe bushings (1/2 inch drop solid aluminum bushings too low) and put in the stock height solid bushings and I will be able to install the headers and z-bar. It's been almost three years and I still haven't heard the engine start yet... More as she gets closer.

Looks great, love the color. Are those 13" Baers up front? Any fitment problems with the TTII's?

No clearance problems with the 13" Baer's up front, but I did have a little clearance problem at full lock with the subframe, so I am moving these 17x8's to the rear and buying 17x7 for the front, hope to have the swap complete within two weeks (still haven't gotten around to buying the 17x7's, Superbowl tickets are my dilemma, I'm originally from outside Philly!)

I will have some more pics soon, I am finishing the underbody in POR-15 and installing the rear in the next week or so, so I will have a bunch of pics then. The front subframe and suspension pieces are all powdercoated semi gloss black and the interior currently consists of 2 Sparco torino black cloth buckets (will eventually have the stock rear seat molded a little and recovered in the same fabric) but I am having a custom caron fiber center console with a tunnel mounted e-brake and touch screen monitor that will control everything in the car, when I am done in 10 years (that's how long it will take to make that much money...) But more pics to follow.

Very nice! Like the color, what exatcly is it? Looks fairly close to what I have, maybe a bit darker. I have a 85 GM paint color, I originally wanted Gun Metal Grey from a 72 Nova factory color, but this 85 GM color was pretty close, but a sahde more metalic lookin!

I forget the name of the color but it is Ford color code TK, and it is off the 2001-2004 mustangs and it is very close to the color that you see on the PT cruisers. The pictures really don't do it justice, but there isn't much sun out here near Seattle this time of year, so as soon as the sun peeks out I will get a shot of her in the sun and post it. I should have the rear suspension assembled tomorrow and I will post some pics tomorrow night. Thanks for all the compliments, I guess the hard work does pay off. Gotta keep going...

Ahaha!!! good color choice George!! it's called dark shadow grey metallic and it's exactly what I had mixed for my car (has yet to be applied). Kindof cool to see it painted on aonther hot rod...could I get you to send me more pics for personal validation :)

Keith,
Here are a few more shots of the color. I took a few shots tonight after I finished installing the leafs on the rear and I also took a few suspension shots. Your Chevelle will look excellent in this color, just wait, it'll be worth it!

HOLY NOT DIAL-UP FRIENDLY BATMAN!!!!!!! Could you please resize those? That would help a ton. Thanks.

Yeah, :doh:
I definately need :pat: to learn how to resize these pictures so that they can fit on one screen! I am hoping to get my own small website to document the last three years of this build, (I am slow and not home much), but she is really starting to take off now with the extra tmie I have been putting in. I hope to get a vintage air front runner and the rest of teh fuel system by the end of Feb and the electric windows and new glass installed before mid-march. Then it is just a matter of getting the exhaust, a/c, radiator, brake and fuel plumbing then the interior done and... ok there is a lot left to do. Thanks for the encouragement, I will keep the pics (smaller ones) coming.

great choice for your truck, this color is really subtle and it really contrasts nice with the polished parts and the black z-28 stripes I put on my Camaro.
