Is there a Northstar Chevelle show/Gathering ? Not far from WPG if you still allow Canuks in convertibles.

We haven't sponsored an actual car show for many years. We do, try, to have monthly meetings, cruises and tech sessions thru out the summer, but we are Twin Cities based, so most of it is in the metro area.
Which brings me to what is WPG ? Anyone is welcome to join an event as a guest/prospective new member...

Figured it out...WPG = Winnipeg. Long drive down to the Cities for an event, but you're welcome to, if you want.

Cale filled and blocked the driver's side door and quarter panel, taking them as far as his skill level could get it, while I've been working on the passenger side.
Passenger side is about ready for its 2nd round of fill primer and blocking. Not sure yet if it will be good enough after 2, or will need a 3rd... Cale is moving on to trying to get his 406 fired up on the run-stand while I continue to block sand.

Passenger side is as straight as it's going to get... it needs one more 180 blocking to get the last of the little imperfections out before its final prime, but we are moving on to the driver's side for now, while this side sits for a while to allow of any shrinking in the primer before we sand.

Also, we did a quick check of the door/fender gaps to make sure there's nothing needing any rework. They looked better than expected for parts that were finished separately from each other. Very acceptable gaps and panel curves matched up nicely.

Tonight we fired up his 406 with the Corvette dual-quad.
We're running only off the rear carb and don't have fuel to the front one yet. The engine sounds good, has oil pressure, and no major leaks, so we'll we'll worry about tuning after it's in the car. This engine was built for a street rod, then the owner died and I bought out all the parts in his garage. I don't really know much about it, but it is supposed to be fresh. It should be a good mild engine with decent torque and just enough power to have a little fun but not get in too much trouble with... https://youtu.be/PqY1-JlDWzw?si=LWhQflWEDwMKL_jZ
