One down and one to go

[marks73]

The 73 Chevelle is finally finished (if there is such a thing) and back on the road. After over 2 years I got it back from the body shop. Finished the engine with new roller rockers, push rods, and a 950cfm Holley. It sure has come a long way from what I started with. Now to finish the Mustang.

Congrats - turned out good

But we have to set some ground rules

When the Mustang is done ... wait ... even now

Rule 1 - When you get out of the Chevy you MUST shower off The GM cuties before touching the Mustang.

Rule 2 - When you get out of the GM and there is no shower around. You may remove the GM cuties by rubbing your a$$ on the nearest Toyota

Nice! I've always liked that body style and great choice on the colors. Is that a 396? I just saw one like yours yesterday pulling into our gas station.

+1 but I think he meant "cooties", not "cuties"

see internet/Wikipedia description of cooties below...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooties

Cooties is a childhood fictional disease used in the United States of America, Canada and Australia as a rejection term and an infection tag game (such as Humans vs. Zombies). It is similar to the British dreaded lurgi, and to terms used in the Nordic countries, in Italy, and in New Zealand.

It's a 496 short block with my old 67 427 closed chamber heads. Cobalt Blue with Platinum Siver

I drive a Tundra which is built here in Texas from more US parts than most current Fords or Chevys. So which one is a "foreign car"?

He's got a point.

Sweet Chevelle! I got the same rocker arms on my 351c and they have been problematic with pushrod clearance on full lift for the intake valves. Just a heads up.

Cool Chevelle

But cars are built and parts supplied from all over the world.

I drove a Cadillac that said it was built in Germany. I drove a Ford pickup that said it was built in Mexico.

The companies that supply US parts might be foreign owned... (many are).

If you shop at Walmart or any other discount stores - you are buying foreign made products..

It is the globalization of the world... OK back to that Chevelle - great job. How long have you owned that one?

Sometiimes I miss my old Laguna S-3. I wasn't quick but still cool and fun to drive.

2 years longer than the Mustang. When it went to the body shop I went out and found the Mustang to keep me busy.

Well you know me. Beat it like you own it!
