We got back from out trip last night and I was out in the garage at 7am this morning...........Just had to get going again....Before leaving I got the radiator hose situation all sorted out .....It ended up I had to cut up two hoses each to get the shape and bends to come out correctly.......while gone I ordered some Gates Shrink clamps and some radiator hose couplers from Jegs.....That was the first thing I did this morning was to get the hoses put together and get the coolant into the system.........No Leaks......Then I finished up getting the O2 sensors installed along with getting all the wires in place....Then I bled the brakes again and I'm still not happy with the pedal......still feels a little spongy......(I hate Brakes)........then I put the wheels and tires on the car and got the car on the ground for the first time.........gonna let it sit for a couple and then get the coil-overs adjusted correctly..........my hands are Dirty and it's time for a Nap!!.......Here are some pic's from today....

Looks amazing and almost done !!

Big Day today...........I drove the car for the first time.........I just moved it from it's stall to the lift in the next stall, but it moved under it's own power.......I moved it to the lift to put on an old set of mufflers so I can drive it to the muffler shop......Then off for a front end alignment.....Then off to Frame-up to get the A/C system checked and charged and Donnie is going to see what he can do to get a solid brake pedal........(Did I mention I hate playing with Brakes)......Anyhow.....here's a picture with the car in it's new location.........

When you have her all buttoned up, find an innocent bystander and do video of their reaction when you start the car up.

Good Work!

el ess A · 02-12-2014, 11:52 AM

Even more interesting is that it'll weigh less than the ZL1!!

Awesome build. Love it!

wow this is a complete dream ride of mine! Love Chevelles...I remember when I was in High School or a little after (1986-87ish?) Hot Rod or Car Craft (maybe Super Chevy I don't remember) but they took a 1964 Nova and dropped it on a new Corvette drivetrain..

Can't wait to see this all finished and some pics on the road!
