**65chevelle update**

[lt1 chevelle]

still dont have a good project name for the car lol o well at least i got some progress done on the car.
i have finally found out what color i will paint the car and the color is Dark Cloisonne its a dark blue which is good i didnt want a blue like my dad has on his 69 chevelle.i got the engine wiring back from lt1wiring and iam "trying" to install it i still have several sensors to buy for the motor still befor i can start it. i think i figured out what iam going to do about the cooling. after talking to Scott Mueller. i have bought both the expansion tank and power steering tank from Canton racing products.i still have body work to do on the car nothing big at all just some final finishing glaze to get it nice and straight.for the interior iam working on the wiring the guy that had the car befor me liked to splice into alot of wires for somereason but all the wiring is pretty much done. i have painted the dash orion silver and just set the dash in there to see how it looked,iam going to try and make a center concel out of fiberglass witch will hold one of painless wiring troggle switch boreds and my gagues,i will also be ordering a ididit steering colum once i pay my credit card off:scared: .i plan on ordering the new seats wed from Hunsaker.i also got all the fule lines ran and the tank installed and finally finished the rear coilovers. iam trying to have this thing done for the nov goodguys show here in pleasentan but u know how that gose.also installed the new poly body mount bushing

Looks good! I wish I was at that stage.

I think a '65 would look go with a custom filler panel instead of a front bumper. :unibrow:
