"Enemy AC130 above!"

So, why hasn't there been any recent post on the SHC Blog? Well, if you live in the northeast of the good old USA, then you know how this time of year can really get you down. There has been a lot of snow, and I have been miserable. I have my wish list prepared for the swap meet, my parts ready to order from the speed shop, and even saved a few bucks to pay for it all.....but I have been snowed in.

I did figure out that I can't add an electric choke to the Vette carb I have installed on the Chevelle, so it looks like she is getting a new carb soon. Probably an Edelbrock 1406, 600 cfm Performer.

I have the interior parts ready to order, basically front and rear seat covers and head rest (probably should get that trunk mat while I'm at it). I also need to go up the street to visit Tommy and his Chevelle, and measure the rear end width to make sure that my rear end is the stock size. Then I can use the tire backspacing tool and order the wheels and tires to finish up the Chevelle. I'm thinking some 18" Coys C-5s for now, they look nice and the price is right. Most everything else I like is way out of my price range. I found some other Chevelles on the forum running 18x8 4.5 bs 245/45/18 front and 18x9.5 5.5 bs 305/45/18 rear.

What have I been doing to occupy my self for the past few months? A lot of extra work to save up for all the parts, and a good dose of X-BOX 360 Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. "Enemy AC130 above!"
