    Painted the oil pan, timing cover, pulleys/brackets. Got the caltrac brackets all on.. Now starting on re-wiring the chevelles engine bay, as of right now pulled out 12 wires right back to the fuse block.. Couple more to go and then add all the msd & make it look good.

    Pulled the instrument cluster, took it apart, painted the inside white, installed LEDs, bench tested. Ran out of time, install tomorrow. Heading out for brewskies...

    installed caltracs and new front wheels that so now all four wheels match. I am going to go down to Tucson next week to test hopefully I can get it into 11.0s. The best so far has been 11.25 at 118mph

    Nice looking car.
    Would love to see more pictures of the interior and engine bay, etc.

    Welded some floor panels in. The car has a 10 pt cage and partial funny car halo, so it's pretty tough gettin' around in there and I'm a noob welder, to boot. Not the best lookin' welds in the world, but it will be solid, at least.

    Ever thought about a wide band air/fuel? My buddy picked up .35 on 3 runs of tuning the carb.. In the spring he will get more runs and hopefully pick up more.
