I do all my own work, all except Body Work and paint which I never claimed to be good at that.

Can anyone tell me the number of 1969 SS 396 Chevelle Convertibles
that were painted Monaco Orange ... factory production??
Thanks

Actually, I just tried, and both .com and .org seem to work. They must've
registered both names for the site. When I posted my first reply, I
remembered my bookmark had the .org address.

I think it's chevytalk.org, not .com. Not trying to be picky or
'corrective' Clint, just trying to make sure everyone can find the site,
since it's a good one. I just started lurking on that site about a month
ago and it seems like a real solid source of info.

For 1970 the front is available in reproduction (same bumper as the El
Camino).
As far as rechroming services, the two that I always hear good things about
are Northstar in WI and Tri-City in TN.

Realize I'm not a regular here, but I wanted to let you all know that I just listed my wife's grandmother's '72 Chevelle Malibu on eBay (Item #2479574742).
This is a straight, clean, well-maintained, garaged, like-new-interior single-owner car with only 64K miles. All original, all re

Ain't that the truth! If your spouse isn't

am lucky in that respect. Last year I thought about

My dad has been offered a free full-size 62 Biscayne Chevy wagon ("rust
bucket" but complete & with matching #'s). In trying to make up his mind
about whether to take on this resto project, he's curious about how many
of these were made and would like to compare that against early Chevelle

I try to do everything but will farm out the things that require special tools:
machine work(but I'd rather do the assembly) and wheel alignments; plus transmission,

I do all of the mechanical & electrical, and the interior. The bodywork &

else do that. I'm a professional automotive technician (fancy name for

My Chevelle is due for inspection in February, so if something needs done, I
check the temperature. If it's real cold I just tell the guy to fix it,
otherwise I generally do it.
