Schwartz 1964 Chevelle Chassis Final Fix

Looks killer!

Almost want to take the daily driver over to them for exhaust work. Pretty sure they're more geared towards full on resto jobs then daily driver stuff though.

Very nice work! How are his rates and timelines compared to others?

Well, I can say he at least answers the phone when I call him and he has been at the shop when I go there and he took the car right away. This is unlike a couple 'well known' exhaust and fab people I've tried and tried to get a hold of. You know, the ones you have to try and try to call and if they don't answer, then you have to go to their shop and even then they don't always answer the door...

His price is in line with the other fabricators..He told me $100 per header tube to make new ones...As far as the rest, I don't know what the final price is going to be because I had him take care of the trans mount and a couple of other things...

But the work he has done for me, plus the other dozen or so cars in his shop looks really nice...

grr
 
Great to hear. Nothing gets me going like people who take my business for granted. That stuff drives me nuts too. Maybe I'll use him next time.

What's left to finish before firing it up?

I was waiting for the headers and exhaust to be finished. To actually fire the engine, not a whole lot needs to be done. Hook up the battery and ignition and it will be running. It has been dynoed and I had it running on an engine stand at my house, so it is ready to go. But, to make it driveable, I need to get the front end sheet metal on, hook up the clutch and run the front brake lines... and a bunch of other crap...

Now, if I could only get my buddy Matt over here to help ;)

grr
 
Getting Closer......

Took the car to the guy who painted the car to have him install the front end sheet metal. I don't trust myself to do this and I am all by myself, so I don't have help, either...

Gary, you shouldn't be driving an old jalopy like that. You deserve a new car! You've worked hard! I'd be glad to give you a couple hundred bucks and make that old clunker disappear! Let me know if I can help. :)
 
That's a great looking car. Love the attention to detail you've put into it so far.

I really hope I can see this car in person when it's done. It looks like a fantastic build.
