'66 PT Chevelle

[muthstryker]

never mind, found them on your fquick site looks awsome!

[Young Gun]

wow! just checked out the pics on your fquick...looks amazing...seriously!

Thanks. Hearing all these good comments tells me I'm heading in the right direction!

Some pending items are: I have to remove the front wheel trim and rocker moldings; some areas on the body need to be repainted, including the hood of course, the front end needs to be aligned, the brakes needs to be bled again, and there are some parts I want powder coated. In the mean time I need to get my registration and insurance in place so I can do some road tests when it's ready. I'll post up more pictures as I progress.

That stance is right on what did you do?

Very nice Herb, I'll bet the vette is a distant memory now and think its safe to say " I told you so ".

The rear has air bags so it's an easy adjustment. In front however, I added/removed coil spring spacers until I got the height I was after.

Looking at the pictures I took from the rear, I think the back end could stand to come down a little bit more. It's hard to tell though because my driveway has an incline. Once I get it on level ground I'll be able to see it better.

Glad you like it!

Vette? I'm not sure I know what you're talking about...

JK, yeah you were right, it's a distant memory!

Nope. Maybe some day if I see a need for it.

[muthstryker]

alright thanks!

Here are some new pictures...

I had the valve covers, mc cover, air cleaner lid & bottom, and breather tanks all powder coated to match the wheel centers:





I also had the grille and headlight surrounds powder coated to match:

All of the powdercoated parts look great and are very subtle. Just curious if you could tell me just a little about that throttle linkage bracket.

Thanks! The throttle bracket is from Jeg's. I don't like the return springs mounted on the front so I cut that part off, relocated the anchor to the rear, and modified a small bolt (flatened sides w/ two holes drilled) to attach the springs to the throttle. It works good and I think it looks a lot better than having the springs poking out from under the front of the air cleaner.

Thanks Wayne! Since the Elky has a lot of bling under the hood I figured I darken up the Chevelle.

Wow, just found these pictures. That thing looks sick. But I sure did like those wheels on the Elcamino to. I need pictures of both cars with the wheels

I just sent you an email with a couple of pictures. As you can see, I'm very happy with my wheel purchase! Thanks!

Ok, for some reason I'm getting an error message on the email I sent to you! If you go to my Fquick garage you can download any pictures you want.

Me too. It gives the car a more sinister look.

Congrats on putting the car back together Herb, car looks great!
