Nice buy. About 6-8 years ago I had a windshield installed in my el camino for about 150-175 forget exactly. The guy came to my house and installed it in the driveway. Today, labor prices will be a bit higher but the price of the repro glass is about the same as then.
Can't help with the headliner, I did my own in an afternoon and it wasn't terribly difficult. But a coupe has twice as many bows as an elky so it would take a bit more effort to get it straight & tight. Bumper - Repro bumpers are not known for their high quality. If the original is not in terrible shape I'd have it rechromed. Cost is in the $3-400 (I think) but the result is well worth the difference. Fellow list members can give you names of reputable shops. If you want to buy a repro I'd visit a local resto supply house and pick the best that they have available. You can check prices at any of the suppliers here: http://www.chevelles.net/links/Suppliers/ I think (again) that there are only one or maybe 2 companies reproducing the bumper so you should be able to buy on price & service. Good luck with your chevelle. On 3/6/07, Randy S Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello everyone, This is my first attempt of abusing the power of the chevelle mailing list. I apologize because I'm sure this is more of something that can be resolved in a forum, but I'm looking for good answers (I'm 100% rookie). I just purchased my first chevelle this weekend. A 71 SS clone. The car has some issues and since I'm new I don't know what good prices are to get things for. I'm being yanked all around my shops with wild price differences. I'm in Peoria Illinois. If someone knows of a good local it would be appreciated. I need to get a new front window (bought and installed). I also am looking for a new headliner installed. Lastly a repo rear ss bumper would be good. What prices* should * I be looking for in these items. Of course a new brake setup is a must, but there are plenty of threads for that. If I can just wade through all the information! Here is a link to the car I bought off e-bay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1971-Chevelle-Super-Sport-Clone-SS-Cowl-Induction_W0QQitemZ330088574947QQihZ014QQcategoryZ6164QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Thank You, Randy S.
