Rick, I completely agree with your comments about a white interior. Hopefully this Fall will finally be the time to get the pearl interior in. Also, I sent you a PM regarding the 963 distributor.
Thank you for the compliments on the Chevelle, everyone. I would've liked to have kept the Monte Carlo, but a family emergency came up and I had to let one of them go. Such is life, and family is always more important than cars.
I have to mention this about the Monte: my buddy (Vaughn) that bought the car is the definition of a great friend and a class act. He knew I had no choice but to abandon the project (due to family reasons) after 2 years of hard work , so he told me he would finish the resto and he did so consulting with me so that the car was finished the way I envisioned. He also told me I can buy the car back within the next few years for what he paid me for it + the amount it cost him to finish the job. No profit on his end. Unfortunately that probably won't be possible, but I couldn't be more happy that he has it now. It is in great hands. 
And I never would've met him if it hadn't been for this great hobby.
