    Chevelle upgrades.

    T stat housing.... I'm sure he would make more. But it will be costly, it's all by hand on a mill (no computer controlled stuff) so it's about an 8 hr job. We've discussed how much he would charge to make one, obviously if he made several it would save some money and time. If your serious...
