It needs new tires again. The fronts are too tall and rubbing even with coil spacers. Since Cooper doesn't make the Cobra in a 215/60, I have to go to BFG. Which means the rears have to be replaced too. I was planning on buying tires for my truck, so I'll be getting the Coopers off of the Chevelle for that. I also have to grind down the rear trim, since it's catching on the tire.

Are those 15x8" Rallys on the front? Put some 15x7 FW's on the front and run a 215/65/15. IMO, 215/60/15's are too short for a Chevelle and too skinny for an 8" wheel.

Yeah, they're 15x8. I'm actually taking a pair of sevens to get cleaned up and coated later today. With the coil spacers removed, 215/60s should fill it just fine.

Okay, update time. Still no new tires (Camaro's been the focus this year for the most part), nor did we ever actually get the wheels coated (we had them blasted, then we primed then, and then they just sat.) We painted them today (and it's looking like we'll have to do the rears next to make them match), and I finally got a battery for it, since I'm tired of swapping the one we have between it and the Camaro.

I washed it (I know, bad for it, but I tried the detail spray, it didn't do much. It needed a wash. Plus, with no vinyl top, I'm not too worried.)

We also redid the ground for the positive cable (it was frayed on the end, and we shortened it a bit, since it was too long), and moved the return spring on the throttle (I'd had it on the valve cover bolt since that was the only way I could keep it running before the tuneup). It's now under a bolt for the upper radiator hose (where it goes into the intake).

I also removed the exhaust tips. They looked good on it, but were still rusty, and the screws just stuck out too far. It's probably placebo, but I think it has more 'lope' to it now.

Coming together nicely youll be ready for woodward soon

Oh, this thing isn't going to Woodward. I refuse to take a car down there. Just isn't fun to me.

I think we fixed the rubbing in the rear.

We simply bashed the backside of the quarter panel moldings in and it seems to be fine.

Now, we have to fix the front, replace the passenger side door latch (It doesn't open from the inside- hasn't since it came back from storage in 2007), and it'll be all finished up.

I turned 18 yesterday (past midnight here), and this car is about to get very, very loud. Full 3 inch aluminized exhaust with these, exiting in front of the rear tire.

It's LOUD.

Couple of clips of it now that they've sort of broken in. Some might call it obnoxiously loud. I call it badass.
