I felt like i just read a book ha ha ha. All good stuff. man that car has come along way. it's looking great. Something you should be proud of. And I know you are. Thanks for sharing all this info with all of us. If you could tell me how you did the led's in the cup holders would be great. if you have the time. GOOD LUCK in School. Your a pretty smart dude. keep up the good work. When I head to Arizona for the winter month's. All I do to my Chevelle is fill her up with 103 octane. Change the oil. And put the battery tender on her. Then cover her up. After 4 months. I uncover, unplug, and start her up. Let it run for a few mins. Then take her out for a spin. Then after a week or so. Change the oil again. never had a problem with her in the spring. I used to use a gas treatment also. it worked good also. Nice reading all you've done. looking forward to reading more. Rick
Thanks Rick! Glad to see people that appreciate what I have done and will continue to do! That Chevelle you have is an amazing vehicle along with the Monte!

For the cupholders I took two 12" led strips and placed them inside the cupholders then cut them to fit, i then drilled the hole in the cupholder, i drilled nearest the back of the car so it can't be seen when sitting in the seats. i then fed the wires through the drilled hole and wired to a rocker switch, then glued the strips in the cupholders.

they cant really be seen unless you know they're there and then look, they turned out pretty cool, and the hole i drilled was so small that if you want to remove it you really wouldn't notice, im away from my car until next monday but if you want pics i can take them!

A little change of plans for now!

Found some cheap Milzy ported UIM and LIM with gaskets and stainless allen head bolts.



They are powdercoated gray which should look nice in the engine bay.

I will hopefully be putting the 180* tstat and powdercoated red tstat housing while I do this.
