Default Grandfather's Chevelle.Update

This one is close. It needs spring adjusters put in to fix the rubbing, and the throttle needs fixing. Part where it came through the firewall literally just disappeared. Not under the car or anything. Pedal all the way down. Dad's laid off next week, so we'll run up to NPD in Canton and get the part.

Here's a video of it on back all 8 cylinders.

Also thinking about putting a new exhaust system on it. 3 inch Dynomax bullets. Anyone who watches Roadkill may recognize those as the mufflers on the muscle truck.

No matter what, this car <span style="font-style: italic">is</span> going to get driven, because if it gets put off 'til next year, that would actually mean it has been sitting minus 3 or 4 times for <span style="font-style: italic">ten years.</span> Uh-uh. No way in Hell am I going to let that happen.

Ain't no fun in viewing your car as an 'investment'. Get out there and beat on it!
