Re: [Chevelle-list] New Guy
I had my floors done. The panel between the rear window and the trunk lid has a structural panel below. I was able to take a spot weld drill out tool and remove the panel myself. Underneath the panel is a felt/fiberglass cloth flat panel of material that insulated between the upper and lower panels. If you can, do it now and replace any of the rusted out metal around rear window.

Guys,
Rick and I are buds and hang out together a lot during the year going to car
shows etc. We are in the same Chevelle club and live in the same town. We had
never met before the club started up but hang out together a lot now. Rick was
at my house yesterday and did a lot to help me get some plumbing stuff hooked
up on my 69.
Trying to talk
him into going to the Detroit Autorama next weekend, but he'd rather go pick
up a 12 bolt rear for his 67 ...go figure ;)

Tim,
Have you checked into Glasstek
hoods? I've had mine on my 67 for over two years now and haven't
had any problems at all with it. It didn't take my bodyman very
much time at all to prep and paint it. Fit isn't as good as a
stock hood but it's better than many I have seen. A lot of folks
on the Team Chevelle web site use them and, in comparison, are the best
they've seen. Glasstek doesn't have a web site but their phone
number is 630-978-9897 and they're based out of the Chicago area.
They are the only company that made the 4" rise hood I needed but
they will custom make any size scoop you desire. Check any of the
links in my signature line or go straight to http://www.dalesplace.com/htm/chevelle/the_body.htm for
a before and after comparison.

Re: [Chevelle-List] New Guy
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List My first thought is to get rid of the Hayes set up. You might look into going with a Kevlar pressure plate with a matched pressure plate. The Kevlar clutch plate will be tough, but not grabby and jerky. I have a small block 4 speed car with a Kevlar clutch and it works great. The owner before me had it set up with a racing clutch. The old clutch would make the car jerk shudder and shake. The old clutch took so much pedal pressure to disengage, I could almost hear the seat brackets creak and groan when I pushed the clutch in. Granted mine is not a big block car... but check it out. Reed 67 ElCamino > > I have some questions about my 67 SS 396 > >Convertible. The car is pretty much factory.

Re: [Chevelle-List] New Guy
or like it was already mentioned the infamous pilot bushing
Re: [Chevelle-List] New Guy
Mike sounds like you should have had the flywheel surfaced or replaced. Larry Ps welcome aboard
RE: [Chevelle-List] New Guy
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List WOW a celeb on the list..Chuck has company. Welcome Mike. About your car...you might want to look at the flywheel, you might want to make sure the pilot bushing was installed. If it's not a or a bearing is worn in the front of the case you can get a nasty vibration. I had this problem in a 68 with 4 speed. My pilot bushing was missing, I asked the guy I bought the car from about it. Some trans shop did the work for him. I had the same type of vibration your talking about.
