My Rad, Starter, EFI biggrin , and a bunch of UMI suspention stuff showed up.

Still waiting on my new EFI Gas tank and plumbing.

I still need to order my new brakes and a bunch of other stuff but at least now I have some shiny motivators to get me back in the garage.

 I think it's Summit Racing that's the real winner here....lol

But they still offerd me way better deals then local speed shops........

  And that kinda sucks because I'd rather keep my money in Canada.

 

Lots more parts coming and I'll have lots of stuff for sale in the next few months.

So it's going to be EFI, sounds like you are making the right decision with
Tanks Inc intake fuel pump return system, That FCC Fitech option doesn't sound
good, according to Team Chevelle forum comments. I would recommend steel lines,
the rubber lines on my former system were rubbing on frame and worn, could have let go,
not fun or safe with fuel pumped at 43 psi. New system has all steel lines and proper fittings,
expect few problems with fueling system, basically modern GM parts reg/filter etc. 58 psi.

Keep up the good work, good luck.

 I orderd  Aeroquip PTFE 6an Stainless braided lines. I'll make sure they are real secure, Won't be an issue. biggrin

Well , Time to get back working on my car.

My dad was diagnosed with cancer and life pretty well went for shit for a while.

Then I decided to put family first for the summer after my dad passed.

But I plan to be driving my Beaumont for it's 50th birthday summer so I have loads to get done.

 

I have 80% of the parts I need to complete my car now. I pretty well just need interior stuff now. confuse

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that Paul. You got your priorities right, your car could wait while more important things get taken care of.

Sorry to hear that Paul, went through something similar with my Dad recently too. Kinda puts things into perspective. Sitting in the garage watching snowflakes come down, guess it's time to think about parking the old girl for the winter.

Sorry for your loss, Paul, keep the faith, the car will get some attention as your priorities shift I'm sure. Good luck with
the build.

Howdy folks, I haven't been on here in quite a while.

I'm making slow progress. Life is just too busy but slowly she's coming back together.

My engine got dressed up a bit with some fancy new valve covers and massive Sanderson headers.

I bought a Lokar gas pedal assembly and cable to replace the old worn linkage.

 

and finally decided on wheels and tires.

Wheels are Billet Specialties "Wedge" getting custom built for me.

Tires are Nitto NT555 G2

 

10 inch wide front and 11 in the rear.

Thanks, Slowly it's getting there.

 

 

These seats are FOR SURE going in there. ( Not sure is %100 black though) Might have red or blue accents?

 

That's my next big purchase...

I bought Morris classic concepts 3 point seat belts.... I just can't wrap my head around driving with just a lap bet anymore...
