The Chevelle Challenge

[derekf]

Well, I'm writing between classes and the car doesn't run, so I suppose that by some definitions I have failed at my challenge.

Reasons for not getting it done in time are varied; from the Texas heat to limited funds; from "scope creep" to the wife's honey-dos.



The engine is not in the car. The fuel tank hasn't been cleaned. There's still one more brake line to flare (and I'm not sure my flares are any good).

On the other hand, all is not lost. As the wife pointed out, I got more done over the past six weeks than I had in the previous six years. The car is in much better shape, at the very least I've added to its life by repairing the rust.

I'm looking forward to class ending and the temp dying down.

Hopefully by then I'll be a little better off financially and be able to get the rest of the parts I still lack.

I'll be creating a new project thread at that point -- the challenge is over.
