Re: [Chevelle-list] Project '69 El Camino
I don't think the windshield washer pump is working right now either. Looks like a good deal if you are a hobbyist who wouldn't have to pay a fortune to move it and has the time and talent to do all or most of the work yourself. I guess we don't know anything about the exhaust (if any), or the rear. Could you do me a big favor and make a paper template of where the rear quarter nameplate holes are in relation to the top ridgeline and back above the tail light of the left quarter panel? It should be pretty easy to lay a sheet of paper on there and do a pencil rubbing. It looks like a pretty flat area. When my left quarter was replaced, Ron managed to put the nameplate on crooked. It's a little higher in the back. It's one of those things you really have to look at to notice, but I hope to have the opportunity to fix it one day.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Project '68
Title: Re: [Chevelle-list] Project '68 This subject has probably been exhausted by now but for my .02: We’d cut a section of emergency brake cable from any readily available car in the junk yard and then separate the cable and extract a single strand. Once the trim was off the window you could poke it through a convenient spot and then coil the ends around anything convenient so you and your buddy could “saw” the window out of the rubber seal. Later I acquired an “L” shaped cutting tool to do the same job solo from outside the vehicle. At about the same time I started to buy new glass instead of installing used, especially for the front. Finished product is well worth the investment.

RE: [Chevelle-list] Project Car
Some people inquired about this car. I took a quick look at it when I was down at the place. Overall it was in good condition but there was quite a bit of rust on the bottom of almost all the side panels and doors. The engine pull looked a little sloppy but nothing too bad. The interior was as expected (35 years old) but looked to be all original and in restorable condition. The place is www.dansgarage.net.

I think it would be a cool project. It's something I would love to have, if there were just a few more hours in a day. The wagons are really catching on lately, I guess the coupes are getting fewer and farther between. You see more early 60's wagons now than ever, the later 60's and early 70's are destined to be next. If you have the time and space (and money), it looks like a great place to start.

Re: [Chevelle-List] PROJECT
Thanks Clint, This old Chevelle only has 52,000 on the odometer but it has been sitting in NM for nearly 25 years. I bought it in 1972 when I was in the 11th grade for $1,200 and it was perfect back then. I drove it for several years till I had to park it because I couldn't seem to keep my foot off the floor and I was going to get thrown in jail for too many tickets. So I bought me a 69 Grand Prix with a 390 horse 428. Sure wish I would have kept that one also. Wow I better quit this or I will be writing all night remembering back when. I am sure every one has memories of back then and I guess that is why we love these old Chevelles so much. Trying to hold on to memories. Anyway, thanks for the good luck wishes.

And it is a 67SS 396!! I have redone many cars and trucks but never took the body off the frame, but this is my old high school car and it has to be perfect. First thing was I built me a frame with unistrut to sit the body on and it is about 4 feet off the floor. I then started by completely dismantling the entire car. Then blasted the frame and primed and painted it in my drive way. All the suspension parts are blasted and painted and I am waiting on John Nasta to get my front end rebuild parts in so I can finish the rest of the suspension.(He is a very good source for any parts!!!) I will get my motor and 4 speed tranny in next. Everything under the car will be done Then I will do the underside of the body and the sides before I take it off the unistrut frame and set it back down on the car frame. The interior and top will be next and then start on interior cosmetics. I think the inside will be the hardest part because it will have to be looking better than new. That is the part I will be looking at mostly when I am riding down the hiway so it will have to be perfect. This is what I have done and plan on doing. Maybe someone else has a better way, but I guess to each his own... Ðäññÿ ..
