1971 Chevelle SS Goes Home Today

Today, the 1971 Chevelle SS is going home after having the A/C system installed and brought back to great working condition. It now blasts Artic temperatures which we've been needing with the 100 degree weather we're stuck in here in South Central Texas. There were a lot of items on the list of fixes for this beauty, including a fix of a botched sound system install, new carpeting, dash pad, and fixes to instrument cluster and wiring among other things.  We'd previously performed engine work on the Chevelle, and years later the 454 with roller cam is still sounding and running great! - Guy Algar

1969 Firebird & 1971 Chevelle SS Work

A busy day is planned in the shop today, and the rest of the week. Completing the engine wiring and installing the new starter with new bolts will be done on the 1969 Firebird so we're another step closer to firing up this weekend. Dash restoration for the 1971 Chevelle SS is slated to for this week, replacing the dash base and pad, the instrument panel circuit board, lens and housing, installing a new speedo cable, making the new stereo speaker mounts, refurbishing the ashtray, and installing the new A/C ductwork. We've also got repairs going on with the 1949 Jeep pickup truck restoration project and the hub problems Guy Algar discovered (more on that later) when we started the rebuild and new retro tires.
