New chassis has arrived.

[Mike Holleman]

I may do that... my wife does anything to get back 'home' (which is anywhere in the beach area) so I'm sure she wouldn't give any fight to going . As far as tuners, I have never heard anything but good things from RPM. They have quite a few FAST shop cars to show for their LSx knowledge.

He had a Trailblazer in there with an LSX, I think built by Tom Nelson that made 710 RWHP. Said it was the worlds fastest Trailblazer.

Pictures do this build no justice! I was in Morehead, NC today at the Crystal Coast Grand Prix car show and saw it in person and it looks great!

Mike, I was going to introduce myself to you (I talked to a guy that was with you... was sitting behind the 'elky) but you looked busy at the judges table. Looks like they had a good turn-out for the car show and there were several cars there that my wife caught me drooling over.

Man that looks good.. I wish you could have brought it to the run through the hills event.

Would love to see it in person.

Hey Mike it was great talking to/ meeting you today at the show!!
The Elky looks SOO killer in person!!!

Mike, it sounds like you've got the El out on the road now that the dyno/tuning is done. I think you need to post some current pictures!

I'll try to get some updated shots today. It is running great and is cosmetically finished. Still chasing little issues. I drove it yesterday to a local car show just to display it as I was head judge. It caught a great deal of attention even though it was parked way to the side and out of the general show area. People sure seemed to like it but I don't think they quite knew what it was all about. I did meet Restomod from this site. He seemed to know what he was looking at. Were you there Curly?

Sure was (see my post above)! I menatlly put my 'dream car' together with two vehicles that were there... a blue '64 Chevelle and your drivetrain! I'm sure most people don't know anything about what is under it, which is what I think is the most interesting part! I talked to a co-worker of mine while standing <drooling> over the 'elky and he thought it was a neat ride also (especially after I pointed a few things such as the chassis and engine combo). RPM posted a few pics of it on horsepowerjunkies.com and it is a hit over there also.

I guess I should read all posts before posting. Sorry I missed you Curly. I was pretty busy all day. Thanks for the kind comments.

Thank you Steve. I am pretty happy with the finished product. Missing RTTH did suck. You will see it at some point. Still dealing with a few issues with the SW gauges we discussed. Speedo is doing exactly what your's is. If you find a fix please let me know and I'll do the same.

Not familiar with that site but I'll take a look.
Thanks

It's a 'local' board around the Raleigh area, check it out. RPM is a site supporter there.

These area a few pics that I took of the 'elky while I was there. I wish I had of taken my external flash since the clouds were out.

Thanks for posting those Curly. I have not yet taken a shot with the front bumper on. By the way the bumper is a fiberglass piece from VFN that we customized with a spoiler. It is made into a single unit with all fiberglass mounts and bracing. The parking lights are stock but mounted behind the bumper with a smaller hole. In the spoiler we mounted a pair of PIA driving lights. I enjoyed looking at the posts on horsepowerjunkie.com. The guys at RPM really liked the car and I appreciate their pictures and posts. If you have time post a front view on there as there were questions about the lack of bumper. It went to the tuners without the bumper because of concerns of tie down clearance.
Thanks again.Mike

Will do Mike, I'll post these pics on HPJ in a few! The next time we are out your way, I'll call and see if you are around and maybe I could take a few pics of the 'elky.
