OK, here we are at the local D.A.R.E. car show. The car is now 99% complete. A regular ol' 30 dollar glass pack muffler and a $90 MagnaFlow stainless steel dual tip was added, and it sounds cooool. Now it rumbles... It passed the emission test with flying colors. I was a little concerned, as I disabled the pre-heat tube for the throttle body. No problem at all.
Its been 6 weeks, and my wheels are still not here. So we cleaned up the '88 wheels and went with that. The black '87 wheels look better, but they need some work, and that was not in the plan! Otherwise, its pretty much done. Done for now, is what I mean.

Both the truck and Chevelle were also painted by Joe Bocco.

2nd Place in my class!!!! Wow!!! Too cool. I really didn't expect this. The entire project has turned out WAAAAY better than I ever originally planned. Its been a lot of work, and it was planned to be a family car, now I'm scared to drive it!!!!

Congrats on such an awesome Celebrity! I'm glad someone out there is preserving these cars. They usually end up in demo derby's and crushers. :( 5 stars!
