[Chevelle-list] trans. or rearend
ok i have a 72 ss chevelle conv. i pulled the smoking 454 ls-5 motor and out it up i replaced with a 350 as well as replaced the 400 with a ready to go 350 tranny and replaced the 373 posi rear with a 331 limted slip ok i burnt the 350 trans. up raising hell and bought a 400 cheap and instaled it now i have a hoamm around 55 to 65 mph after that it goes away so i replaced the tranny because it didn't do it till i changed the trans from 350 to 400 but it still does it with a different tranny although it is a 400 i have replaced driveshafts repeatedly with no effect so im thinking rear end but as i am a body man with only parts replacement mechanical abilaties i have no idea whats causing this maybe some ideas? thanks again CHEVELLES RULE Darin Bailey

Re: [Chevelle-list] A little rant
funny you should mention this fuel line hose ...this is how i got my first chevelle my wife got a ride home from work and the kid giving her a ride broke down and i helped him get the car in the apt complex.he said he had no idea what was wrong he bought two high voulme fuel pumps and two high tourqe starters and it keept cuttin off well hes said i wish someone would buy it he asked what id give him i told him 200.oo lol he said youll give me that much ..ok after prosses of elimination i looked at the hose from the sender to the metal fuel line and ..dry rot broke out my blade trimed it and drove the car for two years till we moved and couldn't aford the gas to drive it so had to sell it just a plain ol 72 malibu but my first cheverolet and first of many chevelle and 72 came to be my favorite now im lucky enuff to have my 72 ss conv.

Re: [Chevelle-list] trunk pan 68 chevelle
depends on how bad the rust is , but as a rule i try to leave as much metal as possible and it has to do with what condition you want your car if it will be a driver then i would clean it as best you can (wire brush on a grinder works good) and replace the piece you want then por-15 the whole trunk on top and underneath then you should be good
Re: [Chevelle-list] trunk pan 68 chevelle
YES I HAVE REPLACED THE TRUNK PAN IN A 68 IT IS ABOUT FITTING THE PANS PRIOR TO CUTTING AND WELD SLOWLY AS NOT TO WARP THE METAL BUT I PERSONALLY RECOMEND SOLID WELDING AS OPPOSED TO STITCH OR SPOT LIKE I SAID JUST DONT BE IN A HURRY AND IT WILL PAY OFF IN THE END ALSO MAKE SURE THE METAL IS VERY CLEAN OF RUST PAINT PRIMER BEFORE WELDING Darin Bailey
Re: [Chevelle-list] Barrett Jackson
to me owning a chevelle is a hell of a lot more than money,and by the way im far from being rich . my chevelle has had to sit while i payd bills and raising my kids amongst other crisis in life i was very lucky to find my 72 ss conv. and i only had to pay 1250.00 for it and on paper i am the 2nd owner after i painted it and drove it every day i came to realise that it is a part of me and extension if you will ,i have been offered 25,000 for my car years ago and i admit i thought about it but then i thought all i would do was spend the money and no matter what car i replaced it with i would always miss my orange ss conv. i refused to be one of the manny that years later after the moneys gone say "i wish i haddent sold it" CHEVELLES RULE!!!

Re: [Chevelle-list] PrepChevelle4Paint
i repeat if you can afford it acid dip im a bodyman of 25 years and have done showcars one 3rd place 67 ss conv in the charlotte tenn. show and if you would use 409gt on your chevelle why would you sand blast just grind all the paint off
Re: [Chevelle-list] PrepChevelle4Paint
YES ACID DIPPING ALTHOUGH MORE EXPENCIVE AND YOU HAVE LIMTED PLACES THAT PREFORM THIS TASK IS THE OPTIMUM WAY TO GO IT GETS EVERYWERE INSIDE THE BRACES AND ALL AS WELL AS THEY HAVE A TANK THAT NUTRLIZES RUST AND EVEN ELTRO PLATED PRIMER SO ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS REPAIR THE MISSING METAL IT LEAVES ALL ORIG METAL IN ITS ORIG STATE WERE SANDBLASTING TAKES SOME METAL AWAY AS WELL AS IF IT IS NOT DONE PROPERLY CAN WARP SHEETMETAL THERE ARE OTHER ALT SUCH AS MEDIA BLASTING (PLASTIC) AND WALNUT SHELL WITCH I WOULD CHOOSE OVER SAND OR GLASS AND AGAIN WITH SAND IT GETS EVERYWERE SO THE PART HAS TO BE BARE SO IF YOU ASRE DOING THE BODY IT HAS TO BE A SHELL OR YOU RUN THE RISK OF SAND GETTING WERE YOU DONT WANT DIPPING IS DEFINATLY THE WAY TO GO IN MY OPINION Darin Bailey

Re: [Chevelle-list] Rivets for Grill - 66 Chevelle
lol mike i understand your feelings but i was restoring 67/66 chevelles for show and if you had nuts and bolts the judges lafff i personally think chevy could have done it another way but if ya want it to look factory that's the only way i know how and not a bfh a lfh
Re: [Chevelle-list] Rivets for Grill - 66 Chevelle
i have used these rivets use a rag and a hammer and a dolly rag over the part that is to be visible and preferably a body hammer because of the large face if you know someone with a brake lineing re riviter then it may work but short of that this is the only way i know of i did it on the car and it works out good as long as you pay attn to what you are doing
Re: [Chevelle-list] New member, questions
wecome karl, i am a bodyman who has manny restorations under my belt and am the owner of a 72 ss chevelle conv. of 15 years witch i truly love and wouldn't sell for no reason .lol but as to your problem with your roof i am tring something different i bought my son a 73 nova virtually rust free except for the darn roof putting a used roof on will be extreamly time consuming and hard to find/expensive so i am going to try the por-15 method we only have a few small holes and por-15 had a primer,body filler and a patch so unless you have the rear window/ front windsheild gutter problems im gonna give it a try i will coat the outside as well as inside with the treatment as to be sure of it not coming back im going to be putting a showroom paint job on this car so i am putting a lot of faith into this and havent heard as of any one on the list tring this route but would appreciate any feedback form others who have done this roof experament i belive in por15 as i have used it in other applications but not on the vinyil top conversion aspect so ill let ya know how it works and wecome to a great comminity Darin Bailey
Re: [Chevelle-list] What Year is Yours?
ok ok lol mine starts off as my father is a lawyer not a car enthuiest so he bilt a law office in a shopping center with a auto pts store in it back in the early 70"s i was like 7 yrs old so they got tired of me hanging around so they gave me a job makin 50 cets a day (enough for my drinks )but i started learning and by 12 years was sellin parts to you older guys over the counter than in 1980 my parents got divorced and we moved but close to a body shop so i learned that i could play with cars and wash it off in the evning so by the time i was 15 we had found a 69 mach 1 in a junkyard and a 428 scj out of (belive it or not) a 500 gt the car was trashed but motor was good well we had it ready by my 16th bday and needless to say i got it took from me and sold for having too much fun. well i became a very young well experianced and fairly educated bodyman ,i was working in a shop in southrn va restoring cars for a moron and was working on a 67 ss 396 conv.calli car with pwr windows and all the goodies i was talking to the owner (who came by almost every day) and he was so impresed with the care i was taking for his classic shevelle that he told me of a 72 ss chevelle conv.and the price he said he could get it for me for around 5000 it needed restoring but was a one owner and all orig well i had no money with new marriage and kids poping out well all of sudden the owner passed away and left his estate to be handeled by another guy i restored manny of his cars for and he arranged it to were i could get the car for what the owner had in it a measly $1250. lol so i still was broke but the 67 chevelle owner bought it and let me pay him 25 bucks a week helped me get a top on it and i drove it for ten years every day till i got side swiped now finnaly i have a garage in ga and am currenty restoring the car i have loved for years i will never sell it and it will be handed down to my son along with my chopper i have been in tough times and never could bring my self to sell i love my chevelle and in this story it shows that chevelle owners are a different breed Darin Bailey

Re: [Chevelle-list] Looking for auto paint sites
im not feeding you crap ,lol,i am a body/paint man of 24 years and have worked with ppg paint mostly ,but now if i had a 55 t-bird i would buy new paint and base/clear it i personally wouldn't do it on a hard to work place like engine compartment,if for some god awfull reason something went the wrong way it would be a whole lot of trouble to get it back to were you are now i was thinking you were doing a budget project and you more than likely wont have any problems ,but a 55 t-bird ? i personally wouldn't skimp i would save it for something else but if that is the paint you put on the car then maybe it is the way you want to go ,i have never had a problem with mixing ppg products they are the easyist to work with and with the best results.and for some reason the hardner reacts more to heat than anything else
Re: [Chevelle-list] Looking for auto paint sites
oh if you break through the orig paint i would spot prime to be safe
Re: [Chevelle-list] Looking for auto paint sites
ok lol ppg will tell you not to do this,but as long as the paint you are going over is really cured well and you dont break through i would do it hell really what do ya got to lose i have sprayed 2020 over lacqur now i gotta say if it is metallic paint you need plenty of time between coats for the solvents to escape or you will get solvent pop(little bubbles looks like fish eyes or pinholes)also it depends on the enviroment you are painting in, if a solid color i have to ask why would you clear it? but as for your orig question if ya got the paint i would use it i have done scarrier things with good results the main thing is the age of the hardner or catalast that does not keep very well and can ruin a can of paint you can test by pouring some clear in a cup and pouring in some hardner then stir virgously for a min or so then let it sit for a bit and see if the clear turns cloudy then it is no good ,if it stays clear then you are ok
Re: [Chevelle-list] Looking for auto paint sites
well im not sure of any sites but i am experianced with ppg esp. and somewhat of dupont if you give me product numbers (ex. dp 401) i may be able to find the product sheets from my suplier and can copy and send or you may be able to take the product numbers your self to a local autoparts/paint supplier and get them your self

Re: [Chevelle-list] Bucket seats?
matter of fact i rember a buddie of mine having 66/67 seats in his 70 chevelle so the erlier years may work as well but as replied erlier may not be (correct)
Re: [Chevelle-list] Bucket seats?
im sure they would ,and if you are wondering about later or erlier years i would assune that gm keept their seat with up until they narrowed the body say around 79/80 but they may be close meausure the with and length of what is accesable
Re: [Chevelle-list] Bucket seats?
i had a set of 68 buckets in my chevelle wile i was redoing to orig.so i would assume any from 68 to 72 would work also i havent looked but if you can remove the tracks you can mount any type of seat to them may have to drill some holes in seat frame but better than your floor
Re: [Chevelle-list] Another unknown cable?
i have 5 lol two on the rear panels two under the dash (for floorboard) and the console now i own a 72 conv.so it may exclude the two in the rear armrest but i have seen the others in most hd top cars but most dont work and are shoved up were they dont even know they are there but it may be an option im not sure

Re: [Chevelle-list] Good enough for POR15?
pk let me ask i bought my son a 72 nova it is in great shape other than the roof (from the old vynil top) we want to paint the top i was wondering if anyone used the por-15 on heavy rust what cannot be grinded out and replacing the top is out of the question ,i thought of por-15 then a new vynl top but with the color we ant to use it wouldn't look right ,so i was wandering if you can por 15 iot then maybe epoxy prime it then fill the rust crators then prime and paint or will it just bubble back up after a year or so

Re: [Chevelle-list] Trailered vs. Non-Trailered Cars at shows
hell yea i was gitting gas at a store one day and a man came up to me and said beautifull car restoring it i said nope im driving it .i have restoed manny chevelles one i am very proud of was a al orig 67 ss 396/375 car w/power windows and it was calli car with the smog airclnr .and i pulled 993 points in charlotte,tenn five or so years ago ,but it was a trailer car hell he very rarely ever drove it one day i asked him"whats the point"? he laffed and sold it a month later and bought one he could fell better about driving ,but i suppose if your goal with the car is to copetitivly show then you must trailer (not my choice) but that would be the only way of succession in that class but i trailer my car only on the move back to ga ,ive been runn off the road by a woman droppin her cig in a curve ,but i repaired it and with my son .so it gave us time together as well so i recon some must trailer,if that's your goal.

Re: [Chevelle-list] new Dodge Charger
ok (laffin) my jetta i bought for 1000 bucks it was cheap trans.and book was 4000 so it was a deal but let me ask ya are you prepared to pay repair bills on a vw they are expensive even if you fix it yourself i live in atlanta were parts should not be hard to git but for a jetta it took a week for me to git a p/s pump and it was hooked to the water pump so i was with out it for a week.so my chevelle? uhhh for a small block parts are plentiful and affordable hell the fun it is to drive plus dependability i dont see were i can go wrong ,your desil will only git that fuel econmy if it is in perfect tune and that calls for part replacement quicker than u would think my chevelle will git ablot 20 or so mpg as long as i can stay outta the fours lol but no matter what decision i make i doubt i will buy another vw or european car
