In the Garage with EHR: Chuck's Sleeping Chevy

My good friend Chuck has a long history with this 454, 4 speed 1974 Chevelle Malibu. He owned it before he started a family, sold it, it got restored and his wife bought it back for him 18 years ago. On the first trip out with his 3 kids the big block lunched a roller lifter. The car was torn down and has been pushed around for 18 years while life got in the way. Chuck will always drop what he's doing to help friends and family. I was up visiting family in upstate NY and on my last night in town my family decided to get ahold of Chuck's son Cole and dig the car out. Chuck was at work, so this was a surpriser him. Cole, being the awesome guy he is was thrilled to get on the project. We knew we were not going to get the car running in the 2 hours I had, but we did get the radiator in and dug out a bunch of his parts he had stashed around his garage. Chuck is thrilled and promises the car will be up and going before the season is over. Mission accomplished.
