A Small world it is Wayne and thanks for your reply. I knew I would run into some other hams in the old car game as it sort of fits. I have some vintage ham stuff that I won't go into great detail on but a Johnson Desk KW (#074), a Globe King 500B, a National SW 3 and FB 7 with rare preselector give an idea of that obsession. I absolutely agree on the SS options theory you have. I like the looks of all the SS options. Also am aware that in 1970 anything SS was an option not a model. No big deal for me. Expect I will put in an SS dash and blacken out the front grill as in the SS cars. I thinks it looks much better on any color I have seen than the "chrome". My personal take will be to leave off the SS emblems and make the car have more of a "shaved" look as in the old days but not totally. I have some ideas about very subtle custom emblems. Still thinking all this over but pretty sure more SS options are in the future for this car. Yep, with the SS (sun spot :>) ) lull I can devote more time to the car. So far it has been a lot of fun just driving around. It gets a lot of comments on the street. A lot of detail work needs to be done and not knowing much things will start off slowly I am sure. I expect the local club is going to be a big help in finding folks in the area who are competent or experts in certain areas of restoration. I will proceed slowly so as not to make mistakes. A digital pix record will be kept of the progression of the car for future use. So far I have only fixed several little glitches, put in a new battery and new back shocks. Other than that is has all been "detective" work.   73, Mike                         K0AZ Mike Sanders   18169 Highway 174     MT Vernon, MO   65712-9171         Emergency Coordinator       Lawrence County Missouri                 [EMAIL PROTECTED]    6 Meter DXCC #436 WAZ #27   WAS #1094 WAC  WAJD  VUCC -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Wayne Sent: Thursday, January 01, 2004 8:22 AM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] RE: chevelle Hello Mike  and welcome aboard ....     No one going to Laugh at you..
