Here the body is being mated to the body that Jamie and crew restored. I will update some more photos tomorrow with the car in stripes. From here it comes back to us for the entire interior restoration and install as well as the front clip assembly. Homeward bound but still hundreds of hours to go. These guys continue to work tirelessly and all hands on deck so that they were done in time for the photo shoot. This will be in the April issue of Muscle Car Review and will feature the bodywork and paint on this car.

A little out of sequence but here is the shifter, reverse lock out and z-bar rebuild. These shifters are junk so a lot of time and effort goes into them to make them better than they were though they will never be as good as a Hurst. Steve Gregori (www.brakeboosters.com) handled all the plating for these component parts as well as the rest of the car.
Note the factory installed plug in the clutch z-bar. It was up to the mechanic at the 1st oil change to install the grease zirc fitting. This plug was still on our Chevelle so it was cleaned and reused.

Mounted on the transmission. Note the factory engine overspray on the clutch fork. Another item to note, the shifter stabilizer rod and bracket were originally natural steel and that is how there were restored.

Ok, now my blood is flowing fast again. We are getting ever closer. Tons of work yet to do like etching the glass with the PPG logo and information, interior and many of the misc NOS parts/trim I still need to locate. Home run for Jamie and crew.
