[Chevelle-list] '65 Chevelle Frames Not Painted?
While the engine is out I'm trying to make everything look original under the hood of my '65 SS 283. I noticed that my frame is not painted, but seems to have a slight golden hue. Were they coated with something other than paint?

RE: [Chevelle-list] Steering column & steering unit!
Hi Dan, I have a Flaming River in my El and for the most part it's decent. The thing I don't like about it is the tilt mechanism. Back when I had manual steering while trying to manuveure at low speed such as parking, the steering wheel would ocasionally pop out of the tilt position it was in. I have power steering now so it doesn't happen as often. I may replace it down the road with a different brand.

Ididit makes decent stuff but I like GM columns,myself. AGR doesn't like to rebuild customer boxes anymore. The one I want for my car was $379.

RE: [Chevelle-list] Global West.
Clint, I don’t doubt BAER brakes are wonderful, and probably better than Wilwood, but the fact remains, the problem I had talking to a rep! I can understand one time, but three? I’ll go for service every time. BAER must be having some growing pains. If their business as you say they surely need to upgrade their tech staff. Apparently they have too few! I’ll check out the sites about suspension solutions. Thanks Clint!

RE: [Chevelle-list] Global West.
Clint, I have called Baer three times, and was put on hold from hell. One rep acted like he just woke up. I know it’s being picky, but while on hold they have nothing; no music, advertisements. It makes you feel like you may have been disconnected on the phone, but are not sure. One wait was close to 30 minutes. Yes, some times I can be tenacious waiting! They have a hell of a following on TV by Foose and others. And I’m sure they make a quality product, but damn…..three times a problem…that was enough. Even the girl answering the phone seemed like she didn’t care. I never had the problem with Wilwood. Baer may be better than Wilwood, but I’ll go for support every time. Doug with Global West, has been great to deal with. I know they are not cheap, but the quality is there. Doug does much of their R&D work. They handle Wilwood, but never said anything negative about Baer if you chose to use them instead. I have called Wilwood several times and have had a pleasant experience each call. Maybe I’m calling on the wrong day to Baer! Also using their dealer locator online SUCKS for my area! As far as the suspension goes: 1. I have the money from my incentive 2. It’s the next major upgrade to my car 3. I’m probably crazy!(GRIN) Clint while talking to a rep about my suspension upgrade. He said it would help, if I upgraded my steering to the 12:1 ratio from the 16:1 it has at present. I talked to one man that converts steering mechanisms, and he gave me the impression there was so little difference from 12:1 Vs 16:1. The suspension guy begs to differ!
