1969 Chevelle Build

Andy Friar · 01-10-2016, 11:40 PM

We finally FINISHED and we couldn't be happier. This whole deal coming together was way bigger than just me. My dad is responsible for providing the great shop to work out of and was there right next to me for every dirty, frustrating, expensive, exhilarating & dead tired moment. We are so lucky to have so many willing, helpful & knowledgeable friends that deserve boat loads of credit.

The last week (Oct 18-25) of the build was a thrash. Car started on Monday, but wasn't fully assembled. Initial tuning on Tuesday and make a new return spring bracket at the carb. Transbrake hits on the jackstands, line lock tests, carb tuning etc on Wednesday. Drove under it's own power Friday night, out of the garage and into the trailer. Belle Tire Alignment Saturday. (First time we towed with our new trailer and 13MY Chevy Z71 ext cab. It was a pucker ride if you know what I mean. Moved the car forward, added shims to the hitch/ receiver interface, got better, but still need to get a sway control. We were out of time and money at that point.) Loaded the trailer saturday afternoon, slept maybe 2.5 hours out of excitment/ nerves and went to Milan Sunday to race and make test runs.
