Craig, pretty much everything except the air bags and body/paint.

I've had my nose to the grindstone for months.

The guy is very happy with the performance and the appearance.

Next we're going to do an Ididit column and solid body cushions.

Thanks :thumbsup:

Wow, very nice ride! :thumbsup: That has to be by far my favorite year of the Chevelle. I bet that sucker handles nice with the air bags, where's the air tank mounted?

Jason, this is the first car I've driven with the complete Air Ride Street challenge system. I was very surprised at how well it does handle.

Here is the tank.

And the battery is hidden.

Somebody was asking about the heater hoses. Of course the Chevelle never used a big block heater core, so this is a 67-69 BB Camaro core.

Soldered -10 bungs to the tubes. The inner diameter on the bungs is 5/8" which slides over one tube, and I drilled out the other to 3/4. Makes for a solid connection.

Also, I was never crazy about the "722 HP" engravings, those are gone! :hurray: Just going to be red now.(after talking to the customer about it)

Thanks again for the feedback guys.

Just a quick update, the car won the "Maguiars Magnificent Masterpiece" award and a "Pro's picks top 5" at the Denver Goodguys event over the weekend.
