Just reaffirmed that you did everything right. Steering and EFI were excellent improvements. Your steering feel and throttle response are almost as good as my 2012 Mustang. Definitely a joy to drive-thanks. Now I need to get a second job so I can get EFI. Maybe Firm Feel will be a Christmas gift to myself.

Nice '66 Chevelle. I have a soft spot for those. I had one after high school, although it wasn't a convertible or a SS.

I thought that was going to win. There were a lot of people ogling over it too, and it is a Chevy.....

I would love to snag your convertible from you but there is clearly too much family history to part with it.....

Everything has a price. With the X, my Belvedere is just not fast enough now so it needs a bigger motor :)

That is why I will NEVER drive a big big block! Besides if it gets less than the 10MPG I get now I can't afford to drive it the 100 miles to town.

I'm averaging 10mpg right now, even with winding it out occassionally :)

Most the cost was shipping the boat anchor back and forth.
 
Well Alzheimer's claims another good person. My dad was a simple man who worked hard to allow his kids to make a life better than his. I was the first to go to college and I think he was proud, he was also a man of few words with a 6th grade education so he never said it to me directly. What he did give me was my skills in fixing things. He was a John Deere mechanic and I was in the garage fixing A's and B's before I could drive. Without him my Coronet would not be what it is today. I so wanted to have it done before he was to far gone and it turned out I was about 4 months to late. He was to far gone when I got it on the road. All I wished for was to give him a final ride in a old Dodge (he had Several in the old days) but it was not to be.
 
Thanks everyone. In some ways having him go quickly was a blessing. It is an ugly thing to live through for everyone.
