Default 1972 Motion Performance Chevelle - Project Update 2.15.2021

I want to provide an update on the activities that are associated with the restoration of my 1972 Baldwin Motion performance Chevelle. The project has been going fine as required to restore the car to the original condition and to honor the prior owner (Bob) who sold it to me.

This is a fun, costly and satisfying project researching parts to ensure the car meets the level of restoration to support the original build and purchase from December 1971.

At this point, the brake system, rear end (4:88) and all required fuel and brake lines are in place as well the engine compartment. The Engine is out for all the necessary work (boil out, hone, polish the crank, bearings, rods and pistons cleaned) and the heads (springs, retainers, cut, seals) to meet specifications.

The next steps are:

1.Clean and organize the Hone O Drive
2. Add brake fluid and bleed the system
3. Power Coat the Scatter Shield (white, yes white as the original picture and color remains)
4. Engine assembly (Mar. 2021)
5. Put in the original M22 which is already rebuilt
6. Install and align the Hone O Drive

Thanks, and enjoy, Mark
