Re: [Chevelle-List] corvette rear
Your friend must be a world-class wrench or he is greatly understating the difficulty. A 12 bolt rear is stronger,simpler,and cheaper.

Why do you think it's to difficult to put it under a chevelle ? do you think I would have to build a new floor ? One of my friends in Norway have installed one under his '57 chevy pickup, he said installation was a snap, well nearly a snap at least. I know a chevelle is a quite different car than a 57 pickup, but anyway. What I was thinking is: a rear disk kit would cost about $ 500, or lets say $ 800 with taxes and shipping. the corvette rear is $ 1000 plus another $ 500 in shortening driveshaft and a new master and small parts etc. André -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Clint HooperSent: 19. januar 2002 03:04To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] corvette rear I see them going for around $1,000 to $1,500.

RE: [Chevelle-List] Computer problem
If you are using Outlook, you can go into "Tools", "Options" and "Spelling". It has an automatic spell check built in to the default. If you want, you can cancel the spell check. It should pop up and say something to the effect of "Spell Check not completed; would you like to send anyway?" Press yes, and VOILA, no spell check. If this is not the problem, post it again. I will look at other options.

Re: [Chevelle-List] paint
1966 Mist Blue is a great color on Chevelles. I Just personally like metallic blues and metallic greens on chevelles and Impalas. But it is nice to have a Chevelle painted the original color, no matter how dull you think it might look.
