[Chevelle-List] SF bay area restorations

2001-12-24 Thread John Soliday



Has anyone had a '70-ish chevelle/Elky restored 
with good results in the San Francisco bay area ? I'm considering having 
my '70 Elky "done" for me, as work is really a better thing for me to spend more 
time on (and my '73 Nova is being worked on by myself also).

tnx in advance,

John

  If you 
looking for a National Chevelles only club... there is no better than 
ACES. You can see check them out on their website at http://www.chevelles.com/aces/ 
  Too bad they don't include anything past 1972. Leaves 
  those of us who own later models out. Maybe someday they'll broaden their 
  horizons.

  absorbed into the Late Great Chevys quite a few months back after almost 
  totally going under. LGC does now promote Chevelles, but other Chevrolet 
  models as well. If you are interested in checking out LGC, go to their

I drive my '70 Elky ~ 30 miles total each day when it's cold or rainy here
in San Jose.  Wouldn't want to be driving it in snow though w/the 295/50's
on the back :-)

Just for fun, and because it's the holidays, I thought I'd ask folks about
driving their cars/trucks (for the Elky owners).

I drive my '66 El Camino at least 30 miles every day to work and back.
Many
days I'll go to lunch, firewood and camping trips on weekends, soccer
practice for the kids, etc.  I figure an average of 1500 miles a month.

Not a huge number but as anyone here knows, you don't always drive them
like
a '98 Neon (as in they beg to be flogged now and then).  And you need to
lift the hood or crawl under 30 to 35 year old cars that are drive
regularly.  You acquire lots of war stories.  I've got more than a few.

So who drives their Chevelle or Elky the most ???   1500 miles/month.  Do I
hear 2000?

I put about 4000 on mine in the last two months, but we were moving back 
here to Dallas from East Texas, so I was running the road regularly. I 
drive mine every day and put about 18-20k per year on it (about the same as 
you). We take mine on camping trips and other jaunts. We also have a 1983 
Elky we don't drive much (the wife drives it back and forth to find books 
and go to Karaoke)...she puts about 3-4k per year on hers

In 
that case here goesmine is a very nice 350 based '70 Elky. It's 
got/had factory air and everything is there except the compressor. Are 
there any good websites or books on how to restore an air conditioner system for 
these things ? It's pretty hot in the truck during the summer as it 
doesn't have the cool kick panel vents that my '73 Nova has. I have a lot 
more Elky specific restoration questions, but this one is at the top of my list 
right now.

tnx,

John
