Ho-Ho-Ho

It's Christmas eve, and I spend most of the day tuning the Edelbrock carb on the '71 Chevelle. There has been a flat spot on part-throttle acceleration for a while, but Sarah didn't seem to be bothered buy it. For the past week I've been driving the Chevelle, so I noticed it a lot! I pulled the spark plugs last night to check them, and it was running a bit lean. So today I ran to Roadrunners and picked up a new set of springs and metering rods to richen it up. It was noticeably better with just one change, and after a few more tweaks and test runs around the block, I think I have it dialed in. I then gave it a quick wash, and we are going to take it to my sister-in-law's house for the holidays....after all it is clean, running well and full of gas!

Yes Trunk!

Yes, now I have a trunk in the '66 Chevelle. I have been test fitting and trimming, and welding and grinding.... and finally there is a trunk floor. I even cleaned up the drain plugs, and am ready to seam seal them in along with the edges of the trunk floor.

I also installed the gas tank straps after a lot of careful measuring and some test fitting with the tank. I am not going to go too crazy detailing the trunk, because I plan to coat it and the underside of the car with LizardSkin or bed liner of some sort....still researching the one I want.
