Chevelle updates

[VintageMusclecar]

Glasssguy was on site when we arrived today. I was greeted by the sight of prepped front & rear glass when I walked in the shop.



May I present one completed Chevelle posterior, complete with fuel tank, antenna, rear bumper, and trunk wiring buttoned up, patiently awaiting the installation of the rear glass. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]



One Chevelle front end, almost complete, only awaiting a pair of high beam headlights, a pair of inner fenders, and one &quot;Chevelle&quot; script emblem on the hood.



The interior is almost buttoned up, just needs a sill plate, windlace, rear seat and final assembly on the DS door.



Glassguy (black shirt) and Bodyguy #2 prepping for the installation of the front windshield.



Installing said windshield.

Glassguy and #1 installing rear window moldings.



Thankfully #1 spent some time tweaking the repop moldings before-hand, otherwise there wouldn't have been a snowball's chance in hell they would've fit once the gass was installed. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

And with the successful install of the rear window moldings, the back of the car is essentially complete! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]



Installing the front windshield moldings.



Done!



This thing's getting awfully close to being done! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img]

I think I'm gonn'a faint when this damn thing's actually ready to come back home. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]

BodyguyZ were doing a little final adjustments to the front fenders as we were leaving. I dunno what to expect for next weekend, `cuz there ain't a helluv'alot left to do!!

Gettin' down to the wire here, shouldn't be long now! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

No pics today, just a brief update.

Here's what's left that I'm aware of:

-Finish trimming the package tray for the rear defroster and install tray &amp; defroster. Gravy.

-Install rear DS door panel. Gravy.

-Install front DS door panel. Gravy.

(Bodyguy was undercoating the inner surfaces of the doors &amp; below the rear side glass today)

-Install rear seat. Gravy.

-Install DS sill plate. Gravy.

-Install &quot;Chevelle&quot; emblem on hood. Gravy.

-Paint front inner fenders. New parts, gravy, just a little time consuming for prep work.

-Sand &amp; buff cowl vent panel. Not quite gravy, but nothing monumental either.

-Spatter paint trunk.

And I believe that's it. Bodyguy said the car very well could be ready to come back home by next weekend.

Stay tuned for the final reveal once the last of the odds &amp; ends are finally wrapped up! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I agree...I can't wait to see this one done!

That shop looks familiar...&quot;Wise-guys Restoration&quot; with Sammy &quot;The Bull&quot; Gravano and Carmine Sessa doing glass and trim installations.

Well... been faithfully tuning in and following this saga with great interest (I have wanted a similar model) and now for almost 2 weeks, when it was getting so close to being done - nothing - zippo - nada...
I (collectively, I feel safe in saying &quot;we&quot are dying to see the close to final results, all cleaned and polished up, out in the real world.
