🔧 BUILD 1977 Chevelle SE Stinger scoop Getting closer for final install

[Limey]

First time Since 2015 Both SE have been parked Back to Back preparing for the Big Move to New House in 13 days

 

[Limey]

Took a red scotchbrite to the Patina to see if roof has rust thru so far so good I have to remove the chrome trim on back window to see if any rust thru.... was surprised to see nothing not even remotely from any damage so moving on to the clear coat plan till I get stripes made .... don't even go there LMAO

 

[Limey]

What do you do when it reaches 72 degrees in October in Northern Illinois ...You grab an Engine Hoist and yank a weak azz 305 out to prep the OPEN area for a 454 transplant soon.

Also anyone ever found any inspectors numbers on their car while restoring it ??
anyways gonna put new frame side mounts in while empty as these are shot and need replacing What a PITA that is gonna be LOL







THIS HAS THE PAINT MARKER on it Pressure washer could not remove and why I am leaning towards Factory marks on it

 

[Limey]

THE HAPPIEST FRONT END FRIDAY EVER 454 PULLED AND SET IN THERE HAVE TO ALIGN THE MOTOR MOUNT BOLTS RAN OUTTA DAYLIGHT have to give a big hell yea to my two daughters for there assistance Abigail and Elizabeth


Dont mind the Gangsta lean on the motor I ran outta daylight Maybe finish tomorrow

 

[Limey]

Rusty Got rid of Gangsta lean

Well the SBC frame side mounts worked once again to mount the 454 Motor side mounts NOT AN ISSUE just like with Irene (other SE) NO MORE GANGSTA LEAN and bolted up nice,Now just have the Basic stuff that takes so much time. Wiring, hoses, belts, plugs, wires, transmission, headers, exhaust and driveshaft ........Just a few things LOL AND NO WAY STOCK HOOD FITS 2" air filter ONLY Performer RPM added 1.5" in height compared to the Performer 2.0 manifold .........Glad I made the Hood I have

 

[Limey]

Well NO more drag wheels I swapped them away Swapped away for a set of 15x8 15x7 Rally wheels,and a second set of 17" Hot wheel brand wheels and For the Daughter he tossed in a set of seats for her Chevelle

I went back with them while waiting for the Turbines to get redone. Daughter likes the Black ones and wants them till she get tires for her turbines

45 degree's in Northern Illinois what do you do ? Why you get after it, Got old springs out and new ones back in I didn't have a long enuf Extension to get shocks out. So I gained about an Inch maybe a little more, I also got the factory sway bar out with no broken bolts WOOT WOOT.

So till the UMI trailing arms get in I will use the factory location for the Impala sway bar, the shocks will be the next agenda when I get a Longer extension ........ yay progress is progress right !
