First, the blog.  In an hour you'll receive the podcast show update!

Chevelle Build Update:

The Body is on the Rotisserie and the DSE Suspension is Going on the Frame!

 

 It seems as it's been forever since I've written the last Chevelle update on the build occurring at Allison Customs, but when we last left off the mini-tub job had just been completed and the trunk floor was about to go in. Today the entire trunk floor is in and done, which is no small feat considering Jeff had to literally fabricate every single panel that the new trunk floor was to weld to. He ended up creating an entire new tail panel for the car (which is the piece that ties the left and right side of the body together - just behind the bumper). Once that was done he had to create all of the internal places to mount the wheel tubs, and since the tubs were wider than original he had to relocate a few things to make it all work. In the end though the trunk floor went in and now the rear of the body is more solid than it's been since the mid 1970"s!
