I know how you feel. I got to my parents tonight to pick up my dog and my Dad had the polebarn open and I caught a glimpse of Lucille under her cover (still too much snow to get her out but at least I've laid eyes on her!)

Oh yeah, ics:

Don't ever count a Chevy Inline Six Out

No suprise it started. These engines are amazing. I have a Chevy with a SB V8 and I have my Chevy Inline Sixes. I gotta say there is something about those sturdy reliable sixes that is heartwarming.

My 230 had some pep too.....with a 3 speed...She'd sqauk leaving the stop sign.....And that was mostly by accident.....If I really wanted to I could wake up the neighbors.....Cant wait to get the 327 fired......neighbors are gonna hate me....and love me at the same time..........I think I've seen three 66's in the four years I've lived here...

Cool deal; like you said; it turned over.

What did you think of the E-Z harness and which kit did you get? Was it truly E-Z or does it require a lot of cutting/splicing?

Awsome, you'll be on the road before you know it. How did the E-Z harness go in as far as where you put your fuse panel? I remember you was saying somthing about locating it in the rear? Great to see someone making some progress. Now if I could get back on the ball again.

Congrats! I just fire up the 383 i helped my uncle build last night! Great feeling! You'll be cruising her sooner then you think man!

Craig: Couldn't post a reply about the interior paint in the Car Profiles section. For for some reason the site won't let me. Just want to say that it turned out great.

Also glad to see you have the 6 running.

..

thanks guys
its comming along nice...........
the e-z harness was ..pretty easy just alot of sorting and routing
everything needed to be spliced cause you have to cut the wires to the length you need i recomend a good pair of strippers and a good pair of crimpers and i used heatshrink connectors for all of it..
im goung to get the rest of the harness buttoned up tonight and tommorow
ive got to work saturday..
Vince has been off school all week so he has been plugging away at the interior posts sanding and priming..
hopefully it will be all done but bodywork in 2 weeks then he can start driving it(well im going to drive it for a few days to get the bugs out)
ill keep the updates comming
thanks again
