WAIT!!!! What am I thinking!!! Maybe, just maybe, this is an omin!! Good thing I caught myself before the Chevelle took the dunk. If I make it look too good it may run like a Turd, If it looks like a Turd it may be Fast!!! Allright, Car going out with botch paint job. Might we say, "Sleeper?"

Thats why my 72 Nova was in Primer its whole life. My 66 is still in the orginal white from the factory.

Why paint it? then I would have to worry about it and wax it.

OK, "The Flaming Turd" is as ready as it's gonna get. Who gets it? & Where is it going?

Wow! it looks just as bad in a picture! LOOK, It's a Turdvelle!!! I shoulda painted it brown.

I like it!

Who gets it? & Where is it going?

That has not been determined yet. There was talk that the Chevelle Cup would go out on the road with The Gasser Wars II. So get busy building a Gasser!

There's a Johnny Lightning race going on early Sept. and maybe some series dates to go with that.

The Featherweights II is over at the end of July. I'll take a wild guess and say those Chevelles might run in August? or Sept?

_Just noticed first post in this thread. Shooting for August.

Well thats good, I still have time. I havnt done much but pull two of them apart and I paint removed one of them.

Same here. I'm a bit surprised how fast people are getting things together. Usually everybody (myself included) waits for the last minute.

Anybody who finished a Chevelle go check out the rules for the Gasser Wars, because I'm pretty sure they may be running together when the time comes.
