FEATURE INTERVIEW:

Jeff Allison

In this week’s episode my long time pal Jeff Allison (owner of Allison Customs) came on the show to chat about the remaining items left to get my Chevelle on the road, taking it from a really sexy (but non running) booth babe car to a running and driving street machine. It’s hard to believe that three years ago Jeff came on the show to make me the offer of a life time, and reflecting back on the challenges, changes, and miracles that have occurred to get us from that point to where we are today is somewhat staggering. During the show we chatted quite a bit about that, talked about the burnout of SEMA we both encountered, and how now we’re rejuvenated to finish the task at hand.

The list below is one that Jeff came up with just after SEMA of the items left to complete, and while it seems lengthy it’s (believe it or not) really pretty doable and is more a task of time than money. Our goal is to get the car on it’s new set of wheels asap (more on that in a future post), fix the exhaust issues, then make it run. If all goes well, by early summer I’ll be tooling around Iowa in a white Chevelle again!

As a quick aside, both Jeff and I are pretty pumped up about the next chunk of magazine coverage for the Chevelle. I got official word that it will be featured in Super Chevy next month (May issue)! Subscribers will have it in their hands the first week of March, and it will be on news-stands by mid month.
