Rolled it completely outside for the first time today. Started and ran great but a leaky 50 year old fuel pump made running last only a short time. We are doing another photo shoot and running out of time but are getting very close to a couple of last minute items and she is all done. Thank God! I need my life back!

You've come a long way with your Chevelle and I've loved looking at each picture and reading every post these past months. It sure looks great setting out in the sun and I look forward to seeing it up close at the Ohio Chevelle show in August. Ummm, I'll look forward to meeting you too, Rick.

Awesome, just stunning. Well done Rick, Annie and all who worked on the car.
Is the leaky fuel pump the rebuildable type Rick?

Rick, congrats to you and Annie on getting to the finish line with this beautiful car. I have personally learned a lot about restorations and enjoyed your posts detailing your work.
I’m looking forward to seeing the car this summer.

Phil

Did you finally find that window fuzzy that you were looking for?

Yes and no. I never had one single NOS made available to me but oddly enough I was going thru some trim in my warehouse last week and came across a mint used one. Not the same as the assembly line piece but will do the trick. I have no idea where it came from and will not argue with how it got there.
