Re: [Chevelle-List] Check out Cheetah any one ever heard of this??
Hey Herb, I know what you mean. I grew up in Michigan and the road I lived on was the direct route to Hell MI. You ever here of the engineers saying they took the vettes to Hell and back. I used to see all kinds of car go by. I remember one night I saw a Lumina mini van go by at night and I thought how weird it looked having the tail lights way up there at the top.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Control arms for 66 Elky
I have the Hotchkis arms on my 70. They don't sqeak with the polyurethane bushings. They were a little expensive but worth it in my opinion becasue they are fully boxed. If you don't want to spend alot of $$ then I would just pull the stock ones out, sandblast them, paint or powder coat them and have new rubber bushings installed. Tom
