progress has been slow but steady lately . next problem to overcome is getting the rack mounted which is not an easy task either and really not helping my o.c.d. either! this awkward piece was a bit difficult to hold and get into position however it was achievable. thanks to Ron Sutton engineering for helping me out with this one! with any luck I can get the motor and transmission mounted soon! then on to the rear!

it has been crazy busy in the last couple months and Chevelle has not gotten to much love.but a few things have started to come together. the motor and transmission have been moved back about 3" and had to fabricate all new motor and transmission mounts. also got some design time to make the Ron Sutton watts link quick adjuster to work with this frame and also am in the middle of designing a torque arm for the rear suspension. now it is time to bounce back and forth from this and my Belair with some more upgrades for that.

Hope all is well with you Wayne. It has been crazy nuts busy with hundereds of projects going on at the same time. Still been chipping away on the Chevelle but progress has been slow on that. Should be back on track soon! I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas.

Crazy how fast life can go by! The last year has been a blur my youngest son graduated High school this year and the party was in the garage right after I bought another shop out of his motor building machines that I fully restored. I also have been designing a bunch of stuff in 3d cad. And if that were not enough stuff going on I also went in with a partner on a cnc machining center, moved them into a friends shop and got them up and running! Things are getting ready to go big! I am going to give you guys a little sneak peak of what is going on around here with new videos and updates to come shortly.

here is a couple of the machines that i bought and restored one is a Broaching machine made for decking heads and blocks, the other is a valve seat and guide machine. I recently sold both of these machines I bought these and also a valve grinding machine that i traded for a set of cnc ported heads for the Belair. I also bought a huge cuda parts washer that i still need to use a bit more before i sell that too. all of this came at a horrible time right before my sons grad party! i was supposed to be cleaning the garage up not filling it with eqip!
