Frank and I did a few last minute details on the Chevelle today [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

While we are waiting to find a vintage Pioneer Super Tuner with the large round dial, and a pair of Jensen Triaxial Speakers.

Frank...hid the modern day version stereo in the glove box.....this way Dan can enjoy his Ipod, MP3 and Smart Phone with hands free microphone [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Just bad azz.

Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle
 

Very very cool!!!

Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle
 

Dan -- just an observation ... I have seen many driveshafts attempt to exit where they belong. Looking at the loop bolted to the mount extending back about 12-16 inches. Sure hope it's strong enough to do the job ... TAZ

Epic build, i'm a '69 die hard lover and your Chevelle is perfect. L88/stick/stance/every vintage speed parts, wow! It is in my opinion the craziest day 2 build and one of the best looking '69 Chevelle I've ever seen, every small details make it perfect. Hands down.


Yann

Edit : if you're interested in selling some &quot;day 2 speed shop&quot; decals, I'd love to rock them on my Chevelle!

Dan,

I'm thinking Kurt may be sizing you up for a little side by side acceleration contest?!?!?!? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif[/img]

Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle
 

Kurt's car will be the crap out mine up to 1320 feet, but I will kill him from Janesville to Beloit.

The 3.31 is one of the weak point yet,

Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle
 

Dan,

Great pix! She looks right at home behind the wheel! Almost like she has been there before... Or it's in her blood! Haha.
Let's hope she likes that car well enough that she will want it for her own! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] LOL

Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle
 

Great build. Just went through every page of this thread and love what you guys have done.

Simply outstanding!

Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle
 

Thanks Earl, The &quot;69 Chevelle is a treat to restore [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Adding a &quot;Day2&quot; build is a Bonus [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif[/img]

Can't wait to see it a MCACN!

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: chevyandpontiac</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The collector is square four bolt, It won't be perfect but it will work until I can find some one with a water jet to cut out the matching flange, will post pictures of it later this week.\\ </div></div>

Not sure what size your header collector is but I had round 4-bolt flanges made for a 3.5&quot; collector diameter and I have some extras.

Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle
 

I just read thru this post again, I love it. It's builds like this and the photo documentation of the process that makes it a great learning tool for anyone attempting doing a proper resto themselves.

Thanks again for sharing this build with us.

Picked up a super clean 12 bolt housing from good friend and Yenko Chevelle legend Nick Morocco :D

Dan ordered new 12 bolt Strange Components, C-clip Eliminators and Axles, with 4.10 gears.....we cut the flanges and prepped the housing for sandblasting and powder-coating.

That was a fun visit to Nick's glad this worked out:-)

4.10's will be fun:-)

Ryan

YOU at Portillo's was a treat :D

Dan

So how is that P&G shifter working out? Does it actually shift like a straight line shifter? That's what the directions claimed :)

No, not an In Line shifter.

Dan

Just went through this thread AGAIN today... gotta go wipe the drool off my chin now!

I'm going to hold you to this comment!

Bring it.....you have had an open invitation for many years :D

Thanks for the kind words.
