Tom;

lol...like I'd ever get them back!

Tom + my Chevelle = lots'a [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img] and [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif[/img]

Bill;

I don't think the Autogear Muncie would be long for this world with much of that. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

I'm already considering what to replace it with if (/when) the inevitable finally happens.

Steve;

Good point, never thought of it that way. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

Dave;

Just a privacy thing for now, some people are uncomfortable having their mugs plastered all over the `net. I'm the same way, which is one reason why so few people on here actually know what <span style="font-style: italic">I</span> look like. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/cool.gif[/img] (&lt;~~~ me disguised behind dark sunglasses [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] )

Once the car is done perhaps we'll do a &quot;cast of characters&quot; reveal...except for Rachel, she's <span style="font-weight: bold">way</span> beyond camera-shy, even worse than I.

Me putting her pic on the `net = extremely high likelihood of my untimely demise! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

All that privacy stuff is fine...just don't start calling yourself the &quot;carb guy&quot;

Craig Bartling's already got that name.

How about &quot;Mongo&quot;?

I do bear a striking resemblance to him, and I can certainly relate with his philosophy.

Re: Chevelle updates
 

Got a call from Bodyguy bright &amp; early this morning--the man is on a mission and we're getting down to the final nitty-grittys on this thing!

While I stay here and hold down the fort, Rachel is once again off to gather some more small odds &amp; ends so Bodyguy can finish putting the nose back on the car. Once the nose is finished, the only things left to do on the front of the car is paint and reinstall the wheel wells and paint the front rims.

There's still a little final epoxy painting to do under the back of the car (by the drop-offs) then the gas tank can go back in and the rear bumper can go back on. After that, the only things left to do on the back of the car is install the glass &amp; moldings and drill the hole for the antenna.

Once I get the car back, it's down to reinstalling the wiring and the rest of the interior, and that's it!

Holy crap we're getting close! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]

Re: Chevelle updates
 

Awesome....we want video! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif[/img]

Re: Chevelle updates
 

No video, but here's 3 quick pics:

Stopped at the bodyshop to drop off several assortments of clips &amp; nuts for the emblems and moldings, and a new pair of high beam headlights.

Bodyguy and I had just installed the steering column, and here Bodyguy was in the process of installing the firewall plate:

Front rims painted and waiting on clear (which was being sprayed just as we left)

Nose trim mostly installed. There's some minor corrections to take care of on the grill black-out, but that's a non-issue. There's also a tiny chip in the paint at the bottom of the forward edge of the fender that needs touched up, but if these are the worst mishaps that are going to happen at this point, I ain't gonn'a lose any sleep over them.

More Saturday, hopefully.

How do you embed a Photobucket video?
