Default Back from the alignment shop, getting closer

Got the car back from alignment today. All that's basically left now (save for a few relatively minor details) is to get tags on it and call my insurance guy to activate my coverage so I can get it out & about and start working out the bugs.

Once I have the mechanicals and a few remaining interior details all dialed in, it's off to the body shop. (still trying to locate a better pass. side fender w/o having to go repop)

I keep trying to convince myself that this isn't as cosmetically challenged as it really is, but that it's really a "period correct vintage patina"...it isn't working

Ah well...I've driven uglier. (besides...ugly can be forgiven if a car hauls @$$ )

Please pardon the dust, the dirt, and the GARBAGE repop dash pad, which will be replaced while the car is in the body shop with a restored original.

Tach's coming out too...can't even come close to keeping up with the engine.

Again, please pardon the dust. Everything will be clean and detailed by spring.

I had planned to have it out today, actually, but it turns out that our recent windstorm and resulting power outage debacle put a fatal whammy on my refrigerator. (I just got the word today from the `fridge repair dood about an hour after the car came back from alignment...figures!)

SO...until the `fridge gets replaced, (read: "$$$"), the Chevelle is on hold again.
