This slick 1967 Buick Wagon was built as a showcase for the talents of Greg Peterson and the crew at Extreme Powder Coating to show the diversity of today's high-tech powder finishes. We liked it 'cause it's a super cool cruiser, with Buick power, AirRide suspension, and a very unique look.
In this update, we're rounding turn 3 on the '65 Chevelle, and we decided to blow the chassis apart for another coat of paint and to clean up some details. Here, we're putting the suspension and engine in for the last time! The body is in basecoat, and we'll complete the clear when it's installed on the chassis.
We've been waiting for the opportunity to break-in our new Comp Cam and Holley / Weiand upper engine parts we installed on our 1965 Chevelle's 350, and that day finally arrived. To make it go smoothly, we filled the oilpan with Royal Purple Break-In Oil to ensure that the Comp flat-tapped camshaft would break in properly and safely. We then installed the engine and driveline onto the Chevelle's chassis and wired it up so we could use the chassis as a test stand to break in the engine. Here's the video of what happened!
Check out how nice the DuPont Chroma Premier Estoril Blue lights up on our 1965 Chevelle's door jambs using the 3M Sun Gun! Can't wait to clear the whole car!
