<span style="font-size: 17pt"><span style="font-style: italic"> <span style="color: #3333FF">Speed parts start going on the car this weekend. </span></span>

<span style="color: #FF0000">The Roofs ran a one piece Lakewood Scattershield - very heavy....</span></span>



<span style="color: #FF0000"><span style="font-size: 17pt">Parade rest. Decent shape but will require some &quot;body work&quot;...</span></span>



<span style="color: #FF0000"><span style="font-size: 17pt"> Old Lakewood scattershields used a 4 digit number. Current ones use a 5 digit part number (#15000 for BBC &amp; SBCs) which I have not seen stamped on the new housings. Howz the broaching look? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] </span></span>


<span style="color: #FF0000"><span style="font-size: 17pt"> Priming and filling in the imperfections... </span></span>


<span style="color: #FF0000"><span style="font-size: 17pt">Pantone 485C was mixed by the paint store and will go on this weekend after I finish the body work. I am surprised how much orange is in this color. According to Lakewood technical support (responsive via email [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]) , Pantone 485C was the color indicated on the original drawings for this bell housing. Thanks to DC for helping to decipher color codes [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] .</span></span>

W[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif[/img]W Sam!!!

Taking this whole Roof Deuce resto beyond its as delivered state to include such detail of the Roof's Day 2 mods has reached new heights and this car truly in a class of it's own!.

Thinking how this car was first one step beyond a regular assembly line car being prepared and shipped by GM as a Copo then further modified at Yenko before being sent through the network to land in the Roof's hands who then added their specific mods to it...it's all too cool!!!

Thanks -- I have a hard time hiding my enthusiasm for this cool Nova. Wrt the Delco orange ignition wires, I posted a thread on this site and was contacted by a fellow who had a set. They are out there. Last year I saw a set on Ebay but missed them.

Sam,

I remember back about 7 yrs ago shortly after we started getting back into these cars. I told you I was going to build a 69 Chevelle like I had in High School. I didn't even know the term for it (day two) but it was going to have headers, mallory ignition and plug wires, maybe a different air cleaner, hurst t handle, slots, cragers, or torque thrusts, traction bars and meats out back. You told me then I was crazy to ruin an origianl car like that. I'm thinking you must be certifiable by now. Keep up the good work!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]
