Re: Chevelle updates
Eric,
Glad you had the patience and found the right guy to do the work for you out there. Looks like it paid off in dividends as he did a great job. We all cannot wait to see this on the road and completed. Well worth the wait.

Re: Chevelle updates
Hoosier 275/60/15, and temporary.
 Another set of Goodyear L60 Polyglas tires are in the works as soon as the budget recovers some more.

Re: Chevelle updates
At 7:30 a.m. today the car saw daylight for the first time in almost a year. The skies were still a little dark, so the colors vary a bit in the pics below.
       Still have to vacuum the carpet, finish up a little under-dash wiring and reset the inner door handles to horizontal.   Trunk mat needs some heat/sunlight to lay out flat.  Continued...

Re: Chevelle updates
There's something missing here...
 Now without further ado, I would like to introduce the man responsible for bringing this once derelict bucket of bolts back from the brink of death and returning it to <span style="font-style: italic">better</span> than it's former glory. Meet Mr. Dave Baker, a.k.a. "Bodyguy #1", body man and painter par extraordinaire, master mechanic, and one helluva nice guy to boot.  I have yet to meet a more humble man who possesses such incredible talent. (And yes, that's Donnie's L78 Chevelle behind him. Keep an eye out in the tech/resto forums for updates soon!) Look for a few more pics as soon as I wrap up the final details on the car and have a sunny day to help bring out the detail in the paint. I got a good look at it on the rollback on the way home when the sun peeked out, and this thing looks <span style="font-style: italic">killer</span> in direct sunlight. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Coming soon will be a pair of NEW L60 Polyglas tires out back and a set of shorter rear springs to help bring that stinkbug stance down about 2"-3". Thanks for following along up `till now. With the body/paint hurdle now behind me, it's time to start putting some miles under those tires. Look for more updates and refinements <span style="font-style: italic">very</span> soon. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif[/img]
