Speaking of pictures, I just added two little video clips to my Elky page if anyone is interested. The links are at the bottom of the page.

I posted more details on the Chevelle list. Got them on Thursday and I'm still checking things out. Front seems perfect. Left rear has a very slight rub on the inner wheelwell. I already massaged it with the 5 lb sledge, but it needs a bit more. Pictures are forthcoming. I'll see what I can take today. -Brad- On May 22, 2004, at 8:23 PM, Herb Lumpp wrote: > Hi Brad, > > What new wheels did you get? Are they on the Chevelle?
