Re: [Chevelle-List] Restoration Shops
The problem is, no one gives a rats ass about the quality of the work they are doing anymore. Finding a good and HONEST body shop has to be the most difficult thing, at least in my area. Most of these places are driven by the quickie insurance jobs. I knew nothing about restoring a car when I bought my 70. I just took it apart, down to the last little screw and did things as I went along. I am convinced that the only way to do it right is to do it yourself. Each time I have farmed out an aspect of my 70, something has gone wrong. The paint and body work was a total fiasco. I took it to have a headliner put in and the bozo put 2 dents in my door that cost me $900 to have it fixed. That ordeal ended up in court and there is now a lein on that guys house. I plan on painting y 69 Charger myself when the time comes... Tom
[Chevelle-List] Restoration Shops
Does anyone know of any good restoration shops in Washington State? I recently had my vehicle worked on at Buffalo Restorations (www.autorestorations.com) in Puyallup, WA. I had been rear-ended on a freeway and heard that they had a pretty good reputation for restorations. I took my vehicle there, I showed them all of the damaged areas (front end, left quarter panel, seat, and front left fender) had them check it out and give me a rough estimate and then went back to the insurance company for the check. After some haggling with the insurance, I got the money and got them rolling on it. The original estimate was for about 3500 or so. After awhile they needed a supplement of about $1100 and then another supplement of $2200 or so. The total from the insurance company came to about 7000 when everything was said in done. After days of them telling me the car would be done the next day (that went on for over a week), I was finally able to go pick up the car. I did a quick check on some things before I left; found one or two items and mentioned them to the shop manager. A few days later I noticed a few more things, and a week after that I noticed a few more… and then last week I noticed a hell of a lot more. Pretty soon I found that after I got my car back, it had more problems then before I took it in. I took it in, basically, to get the frame pulled and the damage caused by the accident repaired. Got it back with the rear bumper bent and missing parts, the dash lights not working, reverse lamps cut out, front bumper bent downwards and smashed in, primer sprayed on my rear window, windshield jug melted, the left rear marker bezel broken, the molding on the left rear fender gone, the seat frame broken, the rear defroster not working, package tray warped, more mold then 2yr old cheese, some type of dust (sanding dust?) EVERYWHERE, and, to top it all off, when they repainted the car they didn’t ask me what color it was, they assumed it was a certain color and then painted it. Now, I am young and I am inexperienced in having others work on my car. I also don’t know a hell of a lot about the car in the first place. So in addition to my first question, is there anything I should have done differently? Did I ASK to have the shop screw me? In my business (IT) you are supposed to not only know how to do your job, but know how to do it down to the very last detail… are restoration shops on some other system? I took it up there about 3 weeks later and showed the shop manager half of the stuff that was wrong. He said he would get a parts list for me, I haven’t heard anything else. I was afraid they were going to ask me to leave it there again so I told him I just wanted the parts and didn’t want them working on it. I suppose that wasn’t the brightest thing to say.

RE: [Chevelle-List] 4.11 speedo
Title: Message You have to change the transmission speedo gears to match. Assuming tire size remains the same and you know what old rear ratio you're replacing with what new ratio, it's a simple swap of a couple of speedo gears. A couple of sites to help you calculate which gear you need are: http://members.core.com/~faldrich/speedo.htm http://64.226.206.184/tech_info/speedo_gears.htm http://www.chevelles.com/shop/speedo.html All the above work well if you like math and are changing wheel/tire sizes from stock as well or using a non-factory offered trans in 67 like the TH350, 200-4R or700-R4. If you're using stock (or comparable) sized wheel/tires, http://www.team67.com/groups/group.004/miscellaneous_parts.htm will show the GM part numbers for a 67 w/4-speed and 4.10 gears (Chevrolet didn't offer a 4.11 ratio after 64 but did have a 4.10). The gear you need for a 4-speed w/4.10 gears is group 4.337, part number 3860348; 25 tooth and orange in color.
