The snow is finally melting, elco is all sad just stuck in the corner :(

I had mocked up my throttle cable and kickdown, had everything fitting and looking good. But I seem to hate myself so I bought a new carburetor (#2) so I could start all over again :mrgreen:

It now does not all fit under the hood. I also put on my newest power steering pump (#2), didn't like my plug wires so I got another set (#2) and some new looms (#3).

It seems like I keep buying multiples of everything. I guess it must be my subconsious telling me to buy another Gbody. :rofl:

But seriously, I'm on the hunt for a 2 door malibu.

1 step forwards, 2 steps back.

Someone is going to be very sad when I actually put this in the car

If your hood doesn't close with that carb, intake & filter, maybe you could switch to a (hat) on top of the carb,running to a remote filter or 2. :idea:

Your truck does look a little pissed off sitting there, but hey, people say mine looks really pissed off & it's a compliment. 8)

I have looked into carb hats. And then turbo kits haha...

So the 14" steering wheel I put in I think is just a tad too small. So I bought a 15 1/2" one. 8)

Also got my beautiful new (to me) upper door cards.

I am changing my headliner too, it's just not "fun" enough. :mrgreen:

As someone who has the most out there headliner out of anybody, I do think yours looks fun.If it's not fun, then what's the point? If it,s just the headliner, then it's not overdone.Besides,most people don't bend down to see my headliner unless it's pointed out to them. Then it's a while nother conversation & series of facial expressions. :rofl:
