Re: Chevelle updates
How did you shift, steer, and hold the camera, with only two hands? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]
Most impressive, Sir. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] |

Re: Chevelle updates
The chuckling camera-person is (obviously) my lovely assistant Rachel.
I still can't get over how well those M/T Drag Radials work. With the Polyglas', the car would've been sideways 1/2 way through 3rd gear. The Mickeys dead hooked from a 1st gear roll and only produced a chirp going into 2nd. I still want to put a few more miles under it's belt first, but I'm gaining confidence that a trip to the track just might happen before too long. BTW, the prepped heads are supposed to ship out today. |

Re: Chevelle updates
I pulled the video down. I wasn't planning on leaving that up too long anyways. I'll try to put something up later that's a little less...shall we say...<span style="font-style: italic">incriminating</span>.

Re: Chevelle updates
Remember to always put in the word "allegedly" in front of everything. That's how the media gets around it. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]
Your alleged video was allegedly most enjoyable. Next time just title it <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">"Tesla All-Electric Converted Chevelle With Added Realistic Sound Effects"</span> </span> |

Re: Chevelle updates--drumroll please...
OK...after nearly 9 years of blood, sweat and gears, after more money than I dare tabulate, after more ups & downs than I can begin to count, it looks like a trip to the digs is finally on the horizon.
I have a friend who's volunteered the services of his trailer and a brain bucket. All I've left to do to the car itself is get the driveshaft safety loop installed, I *think* I've got everything else covered. We just got off the phone, and weather permitting (and providing I can get the loop installed in the meantime), tentative plans are to take the car to Kil-Kare on 8/27. I've never been more nervous about taking a car to the track in my life. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img] Stay tuned for updates. |

Re: Chevelle updates--drumroll please...
Eric, I don't you if you have purchased your driveshaft loop yet but I've always been a fan of these Metco units. They're tailored to the floor pan and look a little nicer than universal ones that have 50 bolts in them!

Re: Chevelle updates--drumroll please...
I do have an Allstar unit on hand, just have to figure out how to squeeze it in there next to the X-pipe.
