Bamfster's Chevelle, the History & Coming Attractions ...

[TheSilverBuick]

Yup, still jealous.

I wonder if you can get foam strips in 1/2" x 1/2" thickness to glue inside the cup part that could hole a smaller cup or a can while still compressing enough to stick a big drink in there?

[Bamfster]

That size was kind of a compromise for the space i had to work with ... it fits regular old water bottles and 12 oz cans with about a 1/4" to spare. I do have some of those foam cozy's that may work inside of there as well. My daily use coffee cup fits as well so that's a bonus.

Oh yea, a cost break down ...

24X24 in aluminum sheet .... $15
2) abs black pipe adapters ....$12
'glass resin ..........................$10
small can 3m adhesive .........$7
misc screws/tape .................$4

The bed sheet was in the rag pile, the lightweight carpet was left over from when I made my dash cover and rear package tray years ago.

And here is the finished product .... installed

Nice! Reminds me I don't have a cup holder.

Holy CRAP .... its been almost 3 years since I posted on this thread ...

Well here's the BIG news: the chevelle hasn't changed any ... it has sat in the garage for the better part of the last 2 summers. We took it to a few cruises and the kids have been known to take it to the track every now and then. All in all I kinda lost interest in it .... the thought has even crossed my mind of letting her go to a new home....I really want a trail rig ...

Last summer on the way home from a Golden Cruise, a punk kid in a jeep rear ended me ... slight buckle in pass side 1/4, pushed in tail light panel, and destroyed the 'glass back bumper .... and get this ... he didn't have insurance. It's all fixed now, but still I didn't enjoy working on it anymore.

As far as me, I've started a new career (again) and now momma and i are looking at getting out of the city for good.

I understand the offroad enjoyment... I went from my Buick to my Corvette to this

Here's the one I have my eye on:

nice, he has a dollar or two in that. I like the upgrades - best the RCV axles have a lifetime, no questions asked warranty...

[Bamfster]

I looked at it last weekend, it really is well done. We both are thinking about workingout a trade deal ... we'll see what happens

[SuperBuickGuy]

good luck, from his ad he sounds like he's going to build a next-level rig (which is where mine is in relation). For you, it's a really well built (and no death wobble) first-step-serious wheeler. I like how it all fits together. If you were to put more hp or bigger tires on it, you'd have to change pretty much everything - but for what it is, very well thought out and done.

[Bamfster]

He actually wants a classic muscle car. He's impressed with the way the chevelle runs, and basically wants to turn it into a super nice street/show car.

[SuperBuickGuy]

Not surprising at all, you have a cool Chevelle.
