Sounds like you've got a great game plan. I'd get the hockey teams involved in the teardown and clean-up. Just tell them it's a "Character Building" exercise to promote teamwork.

Thanks restoguy, probably not a good idea to invite 13 year old boys over...

Thanks Mark, so far all I can take credit for is finding it, and wheels and tires.

The black with the white just oozes class..."bowtie" comes to mind(pun intended)
In pic #2,is that a keyhole in the trim line below the fuel fill ??
Don't forget about the increased space you'll need to go with HEI.
I'm really looking forward to following your progress this winter.

Thanks 63ssb.. Maybe I should have named my thread "black tie affair". The "gadget" between the trim pieces to the rear of the driver door must have been used as a theft deterrent. It is an old keyed switch like you would find on a vending machine. It has two wire leads coming out of the back of it, they are currently just hanging there. Hey, I need more space for HEI? What you mean mang?

i like your plan, its very achieveable.

Thanks Clemdaddy, I do love to stare at it. I am not a welder, so most of what I will be doing will be bolt on.

To all, I have been debating as to whether to keep the factory colour scheme, you guys just made up my mind. I have to say that Chevy got this one right on the colour combo!
