Found Wagon

I was just surfin' and came across my old 1965 Impala Wagon on the Air Ride Technologies website.

I'm thinking about an Air Ride system on the Vette....maybe.





Tomorrow (Saturday & Sunday) I am going to check out the Fall Swap Meet at Englishtown Raceway Park. Tommy needs some parts for the Malibu wagon, and I am always looking for the next project. I am sorry to say Zach and Jimmy won't be coming with us this year, but we will be thinking of them both.

Here it is!

I have almost everything installed but the wiper motor, wiper arms and rear carpet. Sarah and I took a little shake-down run this afternoon, where we came up behind a new Mustang GT and a Honda S-2000. Now I am not in favor of street racing, but I had to give them a little taste of classic GM muscle. Needless to say it was over quickly, and all they got a good look at was the tail lights.

Is this Tommy?

I found this and thought it was Tommy!

Vette Dogs

I came across this site, "Vette Dogs", and thought this looked like fun. These guys drive their cars like Tommy and I do.....HARD! Click on the play button and check this out...

Busy Working!

Tommy said, "If you spent half as much time working on the car as you do updating the South Hill Customs Blog, you would be driving that Vette already!" Good advice, pal! I have already taken two trips around the block with the kids because the motor is running, the hood is on, the door glass is installed and all of the electrical bugs have been worked out!

I have a video clip!

We had plenty of problems: leaky fuel line from Barry Grant (Thanks to Mr. Chris for going all the way back to the shop after he got home from a hard day at work and picking up the fuel line and new battery). We had a huge air lock in the cooling system which took a while to get out, I had the distributor in 180 degrees out of phase, the vacuum line for the distributor needed some persuasion to stay on the new carb, and I had to take the intake off and install better gaskets on the front and rear of the intake because we had a major leak!

Only two boxes of parts left to install, and the windshield....but I will need to recruit some help for that.
