We don't saycabelas too loud around our boys because their pupils dilate and they start pacing like caged animals.If I plan on spending any quality time at the parts yard, I can't mention the "C" word. If I lived closer, I guess I could satisfy their fix, but they only get there a couple times a year.

Is this the Cabela's in Hamburg? That's actually the only Cabela's store that I've been to and it was nice. We have Bass Pro Shop's down here and they don't compare to Cabela's, especially if all of Cabela's store are anything like the Hamburg location.

Drop them off?! I'd come back to find one spear fishing in the big freshwater tank and the other in a ghillie suit among the trophy bucks!
Oh,btw... 28 days to Carlisle!

My first 70 Chevelle was dark green on dark green.Very close if not the same as yours. It worked nicely!
They'll still work with black carpet and dashpad.

With the rest of the metal inside painted green, that interior should rock!
All black with green accents would be cool too!

thanks... maybe we'll actually see some action with this build... I'm almost done with my "nesting" stage

I really need to decide on a wiring harness, a body shop and some fuel lines...

Really enjoying your build. I've always liked the look of the 68 grill. Wanted to show you a photo that came to mind after I viewed your exploratory surgery on your side vent.Name:  IMG_0520.JPG

I know, but between the office job, the flying job, the student job and the family job I really don't have much free time right now. I just moved to a new unit at work so i'm buried trying to tackle that project as well. I have been collecting parts though! Just received an NOS headlight bezel except I can't use it, the seller still had this thick protective coating on it and it won't come off... He's going to refund my money so i'll try again...

Did you make it to spring carlisle? I went Wed and scored some needed electrical for the burb. I need to get a list of members that have spaces there, so I can put some faces to the posts.
