Why do we smoke?

I feel a lump in my thoat for about the last two months so I figured it was time to give up cigaraettes. Also, my head just feels wrong in the mornings. I am now on day 10. Getting so hard. They told me the first few days were the hardest but I thought were actually the easiest. For me, day six and on were beginning to get tough. Never knew how dangerous this product is until you try to stop.
Good reference for chevelles.

1965 Chevelle
06 October 2012 - 06:49 PM
This will be my next project I think. Chevrolet chevelle.
It is a big block model but I want it to be just a regular chevelle SS. So I removed the 396 badge on the back. The whole tail light panel seems to be different so I will have to try to build a new one.


But a question for chevelle experts... these round circles under the frame. Are these supposed to be hollow, and the springs and shocks go through the holes?

If so...it seems that one of the pivots for the upper control arms sits right on top of these holes. And the spring would be half on the control arm and half just resting on nothing. Cannot seem to find any pictures of a bare chevelle frame.

And one more thing...It will be a 283 or 327 when I am done. I have a small block motor but don't have an intake. If anybody has an intake from the amt nova. I think that one will work the best. It has a extra extension on the front for the black tube thing. Not sure what it is really called.

It is finished for now. I had a glue catastrophe and spilled superglue on the roof, front windshield and rocker panel and the front bumper. I usually wrap the body in saran wrap when I am glueing something but was in a hurry and somehow got a small drop of glue on my finger and it went everywhere. Managed to wetsand and polish most of it out. Then the rear windshield broke loose at the top edge. And I scratched up the inside bad tryin to pry up on it until the glue dried. I am searching flea markets for another and when I do I will build another body and transfer this chassis to that one. Until then I do not want to even look at this one again and only want to focus on learning from my mistake and get into the next one.






Two part epoxy.

Need to know if anybody could recommend a good two part epoxy. One that comes with seperate tubes. I have a hard time getting equal amounts from the syringe type.
