Oh for sure! They turned out great. Did they fit ok?

Sure like the patina on those ladder bars and tow tabs. I can't wait to see the finished day-two product!

Holy smokes Sam,

There is a lot of instillation there... You better get a crackin' my friend unless that's an older photo.... We only have a few weeks to go here before the big show!!

Rich

Sam,


Great to hear Sam. It should look right at home when installed.

Jason

“Fit” is a subjective term. I finessed the passenger's side in this evening. It was MUCH easier than the driver’s side. That side was a challenge. The reverse lockout linkage/pivot point had to be removed. The distance between the headers and steering column, z-bar, and engine mount are paper thin!!! The trajectory of the output ends of each header are kind of heading in different directions. Still have some more finessing but the sound these things will make should be worth it!

You got that right Rich. No time to spare. Every waking minute that i am not at work is spent in the shop on the ‘velle. Lori has been VERY understanding - I’m not WORTHY!!!!!! I do have a plan and so far am staying on schedule. Stand by............

Wow, I can imagine. They will sound KILLER and you'll forget all about the fitment!

Can't wait to see the end result Sam, it's going to be great! :biggthumpup:

Sam,

It appears my "Day 2 Clinic" idea is doing some voodoo-hoojoo on YOU! :hmmm::thumbsdown: Personally....i think this is all Mike and Grady's fault... what with their 'bajillion point Day 2 COPCAR and such!

Mike.... I'm stealing those batteries. Bee is best viewed through Sunglasses!:rolleyes2:

Looking forward to seeing you all and seeing these Day 2 mods in person! So FRIGGIN cool!

Cheers
Dave

Looking forward to seeing the transformation. Welcome to the DayTwo party!!

BIG

Sam, I would gladly come over after work and help you but it doesn't help that we live about a 4 hour drive apart...

I finished up detailing the yellow beast last Friday... LOL

Rich

Not helpful Rich!!!! ;>) Tranny and cross-member are in and headers are both pointed in the right direction - that was a monumental feat requiring spousal unit help (somehow thot I could do that myself!! LOL!!!)

I want to hear that thing run with the Super Scavenger Headers...

Rich

uncorked...

Do the right thing Sam!

Dan

Sam;s Work is always first class! BBBenny

Soooooooooo.....had a blast at MCACN. WHAT A SHOW!!!! Super seeing all my buds and way cool muscle cars! Glad the show goers were able to enjoy my Chevelle, except for the part that it didn’t show up. Well, I had a few technical set backs leading up to the show and was not able to recover, so I really had no choice but to give up my slot to Grady and his beautiful D2 COPO Camaro - you’re welcome MCACN goers! I was very disappointed not to have my ‘velle there but will be looking forward to next year. Things are tracking once again so here’s a teaser....

the accelerator pedal is saying "please push me"!

Sam,

Great seeing you.....we hope to see you and Chevelle again in Ohio and back at MCaCN in 2018.

Dan

Come on Sam, don't leave us hanging. Some more pics mate! 3gears.gif

show us some pictures please!! :)

Very nice Sam.

I picked up these M/T aluminum VCs at a garage sale 10 or so years ago for $15 (with a pair of aluminum SB VCs thrown in for good measure). I restored them recently....

That is "looking alot like Christmas" !!

Niceeee!

Where is the black velvet Hurst handle???

Looks very nice Sam!!

Rich

Thanks Rich!

Ha Eddie, that brings back memories of the Roof Deuce of course. Paul & Linda Roof HAD to have a velvet Hurst shift handle because of the cold western PA winters, but down here in balmy southwestern OH those fuzzy handles are just not necessary. BTW, I bought that NOS fuzzy handle from a great American living in, of all states, Alaska!

Diggin' the details!

For those who haven't seen Sam's Chevelle in person yet--it'll be worth the wait. :biggthumpup:

Thanks again to Sam for allowing me to be a part of your project. :flag:

Just bee-a-yootiful, Samitron!! Love it! nice work for sure.

Cheers
Dave

Orange headers gotta love it good stuff man.................

Those engine shots are killer.

Great choices for add-ons. More pics! Car looks fantastic.

SST-802 (thanks for the assistance Mikey!)....

Now that is awesome. Good job Sam.

Nice!

Still have one of those brand new in the package from the late 60's. Didn't help much when we drove our musclecars in -30 temps back then. That solid chunk of aluminum just stayed COLD!

Looks great Sam!!

Rich

one of these?

Is this car done yet?!? I want it!!! Love the tach glow!! Looking good Sam-ola!:biggthumpup:

Cheers:beers:
Dave

Thanks fellows. Am taking my time (now that I have time) and having fun converting my Chevelle.

File the below under nurturing my OCD, but I wanted to keep things authentic and period correct, so I used this 60’s vintage #56 Murray "Gold Seal" hose clamp to attach my tach to steering column.
