[Chevelle-List] Need some info for Club Banners, window stickers, etc....
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List I am looking to have a new MCC club banner and window stickers made up. I've received a few quotes, but they are kind of high. Anyone have a suggestion on who to use? Do any of you on the list do this work?

Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List No, I haven't touched the engine.. The previous owner had just had the engine rebuilt before I got it... so I figured I'd wait until it died and then I'd be forced to splurge on something I wanted in there... well the stupid thing won't die :) It's worse than the energizer bunny... and I get unbelievably low emmisions every year when I have to run it through the sniffer. I could just go ahead and put a new engine in there, but I feel like I'm waisting a good, working engine... so I just haven't yet. The only thing I did do was replace the Rochester 2 barrel carb with a Holley 2 barrel 500 cfm carb... and that really improved the performance. As far as exhaust, I've had dual exhaust since I bought the car (too bad they're 2 pipes), so I dunno how much that makes a difference. I've been wanting to do the exhaust too, but I wanna hold out until after the engine so I can get the big 3 pipes :) Rodney. 71 Chevelle Phoenix, AZ - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2001 3:48 AM Subject: Re: Re: [Chevelle-List] Need some info. Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Rodney; I am putting my 71 back together. New front end w/disc's and all, lots of new parts on the 307 engine. Was planning on running it as is w/just dual exhaust for a couple of years. Do you have any engine enhancements?.. BTW, have decided on the BFG TA's 235X60X15's.

Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Tom, I used Coroless on the frame and then put the glossy polurethane over it. There are directions for better paint adhesion, but I think I waited too long. A ding shows up pretty easily. Will not really know untill I drive it for a couple of years if it works. I did scuff it up before shooting color, but not sure that helped much. The surface of Coroless is like teflon. What they should do is develop a coating to go over Coroless that makes for better advesion of color coats. You are fortunate to get that many miles out of that engine. Everything I have read about 307's is that the metal is soft and wears fast. I changed oil and filter every 3000 miles without fail. By 50,000 miles, the rear two plugs were fouling all the time. As for the sandbasted parts, I used the same gloss black polyurethane, but one of the articles I read said to paint the springs a contrasting color of black, like flat black. It said they show better. Also, I tried to find someone with the processes of treating bare metal like zinc coating and anodizing, but it is prohibitively expensive.

I do have an assortment of Eastwood paints left over from my 70.I found a listing in the Team Chevelle tech archive that tells which parts are cast and which are painted. I knew some parts were supposed to cast steel in color, I just wasn't sure which ones. Also, any opinion on the Coroless from Eastwood. I am not taking the body off, just lifting it up enough so that I can paint the frame and install new body mounts. I don't plan on sandblasting the frame or anything. Just want to put a rust coating on befor I paint it. The 307 has 100,000 miles on it and ran fine before I pulled it out. The only thing I'm going to do to it is powerwash it, repaint it, do the timing chain, reseal it, and put it back in. I am actually in the middle of sand blasting the control arms, springs, drums, and spindles for the front end. I will probably have the front end done within the next 2 weeks.

Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Tom, Just go to the auto paint store, use a good etching primer,and they have a paint called chassis black, made by SEM,this will be correct for your car, simple as that,Last winter I replaced all the suspension parts in my 66SS,I had the upper and lower control arms sand blasted first, and painted all the components, it came out perfect.so as not to mess up any paint in the reassembly process, I pressed all my bushings first,masked and painted Rocky Hill MY66SS http://www.geocities.com/rocks66ss --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Hi all. I recently began tearing down and restoring a 69 307 Malibu. I will be putting this car back to original. I already tore down the whole front end and I am in the process of refinishing the steering and suspension components. My question is this: What color are the suspension steering parts supposed to be? I.E. control arms, springs, sway bar, steering box, idler arm, etc. When I redid my 70, I just painted everything black. I want to do this car as correct as possible. It is a numbers matching car.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Need some info.
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Tom, You are doing exactly the same thing I am doing, except I relaced the 307 with a 350. I saved the 307 and it will go in for a complete blueprinting, but I will not use it as a daily driver. I am the original owner and I know what is original and what is not. The 307 is a bad block and will only give you 50,000 moles before another overhaul. My 350 will give me 200,000! The 307 is going on an engine stand as an ornament and for my family to sell with the car when I croak. As for color, there are some websites that list them; you just have to look. Eastwood sells paints that they say match like chassis black. I was able to find enough assortment of spray cans at NAPA (about 6 blacks from gloss to flat) that worked fine. I repainted the firewall with thre differnet blacks until I liked the color and gloss. The original frame was never painted to my knowledge so I polyurethaned it gloss black to keep off the grease and crud. You will find that the origional car had very few painted parts. If you realy are concerned, go to a show and talk to a Concours restoration judge. Ask him for a literature list. As for my car right now, it looks better than anything I've seen at a show for all originals, and I am happy with the results. Also, it looks better under the hood than the car I bought off the showroom floor.
