Congratulations Graeme and good luck with your search. Two shops and 8 cars sounds about right to me

Got the head lamp extension moldings on the car earlier this summer and keep forgetting to get some decent pics so sorry for the crappy picture but I doubt I'll get it out again this year. Hard to notice if your not looking for them but I feel better having them on the car since it was built in 1/23/70. Got a dated carb, water pump and starter to put on it when I replace the engine harness and valve covers this winter. Since I plan to keep the car and put quite a few miles on it I'm putting power steering on it this winter as well so I can enjoy the car in my golden years. Of course I'll keep all the parts so it can be returned to stock if desired.

Brings back memories. Had one like it except L-78 and red interior. Best part was I could kick my brother and his GTO's ass

Got the dated carburetor, water pump, starter and power steering box on the Chevelle this winter and took it out for the first time today. Had a couple leaking hoses and had to bleed the air out of steering box again but other than that it was pretty uneventful. Drives so much better with power steering, can't even tell its the same car.

Beautiful! I know what you mean - manual steering on an A body is rough. The quick ratio F body manual steering is much easier to deal with.

Replaced the valve covers and a couple wires on the engine harness while I had it apart and coated the exhaust manifolds with Calyx since I ended up taking them off when I painted the engine. Eric Jackson rebuilt the carburetor last fall and boy what a difference that made, the throttle response is incredible. Hoping to put some serious miles on it now but it will be easier said than done once it warms up and the Iowa humidity kicks in.

Evenings Chad, evenings. That last hour before sunset is golden! Even better for convertibles.
