While we were working on the engine break-in, Our '65 body Turned Estoril Blue!  Here, painter Nathan Newberry just shot the body and has masked off the jambs for clear.

Here's a quick shot of the Estoril Blue on the door jambs cleared and lit up with the 3M Sun Gun... what a difference the light makes on this color!    The paint is DuPont Chroma Premier, and it is really going to be stunning in the sunlight when the car is completed!

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!

This past week, we blew the chassis apart again for some final paint details and cleaning, and now it's back together for the last time!

I guess this  shows how a small build can turn into a major project. Nice work , I just went through the whole post . Your going to have a beautiful car there. I can't wait to see it all cleared.

Yeah Wayne, that's exactly right.  The trouble is, they get "might as well syndrome", where you "might as well" make this a little nicer while it's apart...   

Here's the latest update:  Body back on frame!

Our 1965 Chevelle is going to have a Vintage Air a/c system installed, so we decided to use their FrontRunner serpentine accessory drive system on the engine.  This system not only provides a mount for the air conditioning compressor, but it is also a slick mount for the alternator and power steering pump with a new-style serpentine belt for more efficient operation.   The main truss mounts to the block and not the heads or intake, so all the belt driven parts line up perfectly.  Here's how the system installs.

Once the Standox Sprayable Polyester was block sanded to a 220 grit surface, body tech John Blandford prepped our 1965 Chevelle's body for a couple coats of DuPont Hot Prime primer.   The Hot Prime is part of the Hot Hues line, and provides the last sandable layer before final sealer and then color.   John sprayed the primer using a SATA KLC spraygun and the 3M PPS cup system.   The KLC HVLP low overspray primer and filler gun for its ability to finely atomize heavier materials reducing the amount of sanding needed for a flat surface, and the PPS cup system makes clean-up simple with less solvent waste.  The next chapter in the '65 Chevelle story... spraying the color!
