I read it last night, what a cool car! pretty nice to get honored in a magazine like that..

Re: 'Grats Bill Rose: '68 SS 'velle featured in HM
 

Thanks for all the positive feedback, fellow SYC'ers. I know the 68 isn't a high horse muscle car, but it has most of it's original parts, it rolled off the line with. The folks at HMM are great to work with. They approached me at Musclepalooza in upstate NY a couple yrs ago, to do a feature on my 68. It's quite an honor for me. They didn't get down here to photograph the car until this past fall, when they were in the area for the newly located Musclepalooza, near here, at Raceway Park/Englishtown, NJ.

They found out about my newly restored ElCamino, and decided to photograph the Elky too, as long as they were here. They want to do a restoration series on it, so I sent them a bunch of restoration pictures. Not sure if or when that will be published. I'm sure the restoration features they do, require much more writing, layout time,etc. Anyway, thats how this article came about. Thanks again for the comps. It means a lot coming from a bunch of supercar folks.

Great job Bill. That 68 Chevelle is real Chttps://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gifL https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Just a great all around guy that is a straight shooter. It is getting to the point that when Bill restores a car everybody wants to see how he going to top the last one he did. Can not wait to see the write up on the El Camino. I know it is going to be great. Bill did they change the one picture or did they use it?

Yes Mark...They changed the serial killer pic, to a pic of me, my wife took a while back, of me working under the hood of the Chevelle. Not a real good pic, but certainly better than the one Hemmings took.

Congrads. Bill.. I was just telling my friend Carl, who has the tuxedo black 68 Chevelle, about the feature today and he said your 68 is the nicest one he has ever seen!!

Nice ink Bill. Congrats! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: 'Grats Bill Rose: '68 SS 'velle featured in HM
 

Thanks Albert, Grady and Rick. It means a lot coming from you fanatical car guys. Back to work now. I'm pulling the motor out for a repaint/freshening up. Also ripped the roof of for a more correct top.


I ordered the new roof from SMS, which I should have done in the first place. Should be here in 2 weeks.

Now that's just hard core Bill! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

P.S. You do realize when SMS says 2 WEEKS they could mean 2 MONTHS or 2 YEARS ! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

If a car could be 100% perfectly restored, Bill will be the first to build it.

No kidding, Sam, although when I asked about door panels for my car, they were up front and told me 6 months.

Excellent write-up and beautiful car, Bill. Love the color. It now makes me want to get a '68 Chevelle!

I was assured Sam, the top would be shipped in less than 3 weeks. I think it's the door panels that take 2 yrs. The tops are fairly simple to produce. The wait for my ElCamino top was about 2 weeks, but we'll see what happens. No huge hurry. I need the car finished by May 10th for the AACA Grand National show in N.C.

How about a picture of the car with the top removed?

Must have been having another "senior" moment. I swear I looked through the whole thread last night and didn't see any pics? Oh well, looks good!
