My Chevelle (Page 4)

    

It may be a little hard to tell from these shots (click on any one to enlarge it), but the before pix is on the left and the after pix is on the right.  Some of the things I have done so far include: re-install factory a/c, re-install power steering, rebuild heater resistor, dress wires and conceal where possible, replace valve cover bolts, supply and install missing wire to the heater from front terminal block, replace all hoses (vacuum, rad, heater etc), re-form gas line to make room for a/c belt ( have a new one on order from Inline tubing as I want to move the fuel filter to before the fuel pump(, replace decals on air cleaner (twice!), remove and re-paint rad and a/c condenser, replace front grill, straighten driver side bumper mount, rebuilt  transmission (National Transmission), rebuilt carburator (Les Hammerstein, local quadrajet guru), new alternator, replaced steering box, power steering pump, re-painted block and inner fenders, replaced "a" frame rubbers, replaced hood installation ( also twice!), installed kickdown switch on fabricated bracket, installed choke coil and housing, replaced thermostat, installed radiator shroud, replaced all belts, supplied and installed window washer fluid container and new hoses.  I have recently installed a new quadrajet (now removed and back to original) and the weather strip that goes on the cowl under the hood, replaced the vacuum advance and changed the pawl and neutral safety switch.  The rad fan is not original and should be replaced with a larger one that has 5 blades instead of only 4.  Hope to do that soon.  Other than that, there is a small hole in the headliner and the rear bumper could stand to be re-chromed.  I would also like to find a bumper jack and wheel wrench* for this car.

* Update June 11, 2010 - missed out on a bumper jack last year on eBay that went for $125 US and was sorry ever since that I didn't go after it.  Luckily came across another one last week and it is now on it's way to me. It's an original stand, jack, hook and tire iron with 66 Chevelle actually stamped right on the jack.  This is what it looks like.
