Latest updates. Was a busy week, finally put some time in the 59 and made the Hot August Nights show.

Still needs a bunch of work. But was nice taking it this year to the show. We’ve been taking the Chevelle for the last 10 yrs, and attending for 19yrs.

Awesome build. I was so stoked about the color until you did the fake patina. I just can't get on board with that. Otherwise, she's beautiful! :thumb:

The videos are old and it only had a downpipe with a short front pipe bolted to it. Prob 1.5’ or shorter.

The exhaust is done now and goes to the rear.

I have gone to Hot August Nights since it started in the 80’s. It is always a blast, but this year seemed like it was funner than the last few.

How do those coolers hold up now that you have some miles on it? I have a 1951 5 window project I am gathering parts for. I plan on towing and daily driving just not sure if thatll be possible with our 120 degree heat lol
