I learned in another thread those above lower arms were made by MAS in Minnesota.

A few small updates... we rebuilt the brakes, replacing some lines, hoses, wheel cylinders, and master cylinder. We also added a fresh coat of orange paint on the drums.

We also rebuilt a carb, which is a 71 dated service carb for a Z16. It runs pretty good, but still have some tuning to do. After a few test miles, it now has a new oil-leak that I haven't gotten it back on the lift to locate yet. It should be just about roadworthy just in time to put it in storage for the winter.

Cale wanted to test fit the slots on his 55, so the 68 went into "sleeper mode" for a while with an extra set of wheels and tires I had sitting around. I like this look too, but those poor 205/75/14s will be pretty useless behind a BB and 4spd.

Before we can install a new interior, we needed to patch some rust in the floors. I turned Cale loose on this project while I continue to block sand on his '55.

We will also swap out the V-Gate shifter for an H-pattern, and patch up the floor hump.

We're hoping to get this finished up in the next week or so, and get back to driving it soon.

I hate cutting out old metal and trying to get reproduction stuff to fit right. Do him a favor and put a good dust mask on him. He'll appreciate it when he's older.

Cale is liable to have restoration shops offering him a job if they see this thread!

He already works part-time at one..:biggthumpup: Derek and Cale put together a Chevelle Club cruise and tour a few weeks ago that included the shop Cale works at. VERY high end, hand fabrication of custom panel mods and floor pans for aftermarket chassis going on there. I think Cale has a future, if he decides to stay in the restoration business.

Tonight we finished installing the new interior.
The car came with the seats already redone, and new door panels, all from Legendary. I ordered carpet, floor mats, package tray, and a couple cans of SEM spray dye for the faded original plastics.

We still need to install a tach, temp gauge, and an N34 Walnut steering wheel.

Headliner and Dash are still all original. We didn't do anything with those.

Beautiful color interior, Derek. Congrats to Cale and you.

Do you have a walnut wheel for it? I've got a very nice one that I was saving for something that's never going to happen.

I have one, I just can't find the hub for it that I know I have somewhere... I might have to just bite the bullet and buy another.

The wheel I have is cracked, but it's nice enough for this car.
