Using a section of the original assembly line trunk weatherstrip I replicated the inspection striping on the replacement weatherstrip. About 99% of the time I find these stripes about 4-6" right of center on the 70 Chevelles. This car was almost dead center so possibly different and normal on the 69's. Where the two ends meet at the base of the trunk opening is similar to the 70 Chevelle and approximately 6.5" left of center.

My attempts to locate NOS front hoses failed so I decided to go with reproductions for now and restamp them until I can locate originals. These were stamped with the orange colored as opposed to the rear which was a greenish blue.

The “New Standard” boys and girls.....all others will now be compared to this specimen.
Great job Rick & Annie. You better clear the trophy shelf’

Thank you but I think anyone who has read Chick Renn's thread on his 68 Z28 restoration might disagree with you. THAT was something to learn by! Different car altogether but one hell of a thorough and technical restoration thread.

Trust me when I tell you, just about everything Chick has is of the same quality/cleanliness as his Yellow Z. I was at his place a while back and we commented on his yard/lawn tractor. I asked if/when he got a new one. Well, surprisingly, it was’t new at all.....it just LOOKED new! Chick is a GREAT guy and I’m honored to call him a friend.

Thanks Charley. Glad that one is over! ;)

Hey, that's pretty cool! Way to go Rick.

ordered mine back in October - waiting for them to ship it!!!!

Some have already received theirs so I would suspect if would be fairly soon. BTW, this book was written more for the backyard restorer and not a semi-professional as some of the material may seem a little over explained in the book and would be old news to the professionals.
