As it is now I need a new front clip and since his insurance is paying, the best shop and parts in Arizona. I'm currently looking at The Finsishing Touch in Fountain Hills but if anyone knows anything about this let me know. Also what is the best repo sheetmetal out there? Year One, OPGI I'm sure glad I had it apprased and insured properly. For all of you out there with regular insurance GET IT APPRAISED it wont take much to make the insurance company total it. It was the best $80 I spent on it.

Re: [Chevelle-List] photo op - your car in a magazine!
John, I am now 18 but when I started my 66 I was 16. It was located on Team Chevelle and me and my dad drove 600 miles to get it. It was a shell with a ton of brand new parts. It took me about 20 mounths to get her driving but it paid off. It is now my daily driver when I am at home in Arizona (I go to school at Kettering University, formerly General Motors Institute). Me and my friends LOVE to drive our cars, (69 skylark, 69 Dart, 67 4 door Chevy II-being smallblocked and 4-speeded) I Race my 66 in anyway I can-except on the street. Me and my dad did all of the work on it except for the vinyl top and the headliner. I think this would make a great story (slightly biased). Thanks for the concideration.

Re: [Chevelle-List] rear differential bushings
Dan, I have had the bushings in about a year now. There is not any unreasonable wear on them, they have some light scuffing but that is to be expected. You CANT tighten the control arm mounting bolts down like with poly or rubber bushings since it will bind. So I had to use nylon lock nuts to keep the right torque (really light). I also greased them really well before installing them, I think this is imparitive for the wear issue.

Re: [Chevelle-List] rear differential bushings
I have a set of B+B aluminum bushings in my 66. Surprisingly they were not much harsher riding than the polyurithaine. I also recomend boxing the lower control arms, BIG DIFFERENCE in the handeling and traction. it is just welding a piece of 2x1/8 steel to the bottom of the arm. or you can buy the kit from opg or muscle factory.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Speaking of CHP...
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List I too agree with the pro-touring scine, what good is a car if you cant drive it on the highway with out worrieing about gas money (overdrive, fuel injection) or having to worry about stoppong in time. I amaze all of my friends with the hadeling of my 66, i kept up with a brand new acura integra on an autocross track, it surprised eveyone there (i also still had the numbers on there from the drag races the night before). The pro-touring theme is centered on a real world car that is comfortable, reliable, has styling and is fun to drive. I personaly think that that is something to stive towards.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Apprasial and insurance
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List I am only 18 and still on my parents insurance but I had my 66 apraised at $16,500 I have it insured through Allstate and when i asked my agent whay would happen in a total loss he told me they would cut a check for the appraised ammount if I showed them the offical appraisal. I dont know how others work or if i would ever get a check for the full ammount but the appraisal is deffinatly a good idea.

Re: [Chevelle-List] window felt replacement
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List I would definatly recomend replacing the rubber and window felts. it makes the whole car sound and look so fresh, combined with the fresh paint your elky will look really good. I would also recomend removing the windows, if it is the original windows the glue used to hold them in is probably old and crusty (my frinds 67 nova almost lost the rear window because the glue dried up and came loose) also with the glass gone you can paint the top of the dash and fix any rust in the window channels. It is not too much work, it beats having to mask the felts and rubber then deal with overspray.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Paint Job Prices
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Kelly, your on the right track, I watched my neighbor paint his airplane, of all things, in a 1x2 frame covered in plastic with a box fan taped to the wall and a plastic vent with a heater filter to catch the overspray. He built the thing for like $50 which is what I payed to have one day in a hole in the wall paint booth. The painting process is long but rewarding so to whoever wants to paint their car just remember that you can block it 10 times and still find a flaw. It helps to know someone that can give pointers. I painted my Chevelle for $900, it looks great to a lot of people but i still find flaws and i sanded for 4 mounths. it might be worth it to pay someone if you have the money.

Re: [Chevelle-List] carb / 66
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List I have to agree that the edelbrock is by far the best bolt on and run carb. However, I was at the dragstrip and after bolting on a 390 cfm holley on my 283 (yes the nascar mandated one) i got five tenths out of it. It knocked down 18 mpg on the highway and had unreal throttle response. Contrary to popular belief it only became restrictive at 6,000. It was the best $10 i could have spent on my car. And once i dialed it in it ran like a top. and with the right model all holleys run like that, you might just have to play with it. Call Holley and ask them which one is best.

Re:Re: [Chevelle-List] Vent Windows
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Even after replacing the rubber on my '66 it still whistled, drove me nuts because it shouldnt whistle. I then went to the hardware store and got some 1/8 foam stickey backed weatherstrip, the 1/4 wide stuff on a roll, it is used to seal doors in a house. a year later i still haven't heard a peep out of it.

Re: [Chevelle-List] tranny probs?
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List David, Try adjusting your kickdown cable, look in a manual or ask some one else because i am not exactly sure about the adjustment. or if you go the rebuild rout dont be intimidated, get the HP books book on the th350 and get a B+M kit, they have the best instructions and have the options of street, rv/heavy duty, or compitition, in reality it is a B+M trans in a kit.

Re: [Chevelle-List] auto transmission question
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Kieth, those tabs drive the front pump providing the pressure to the entire trans. You should deffinatly not try to run it or you might also smoke the clutches because there is no fresh fluid being pumped through. A replacement pump might be in ored or a new pump gear. hope this helps.
