That is WAY cool Bruce. That 307 should be pretty thrifty too. Love the colors.

a 70 could come with plastic on one side and steel on the other.
just a matter of what was on hand.

Thanks for the explanation Donnie https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

I think the car is way cool!

Mark, I like the idea of the BIG small block...though he would have to save the original engine! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Wow! What a great car. Love the red interior. I'd leave it a regular Malibu. There's way too many SS and SS clones out there nowadays.

Re: A new Chevelle addtion to the "family"
 

It varies from plant to plant. Some use one each, some use both plastic and some use all metal. It is very common to see the battery side on Baltimore cars as plastic or both plastic while I rarely see plastic on Leeds cars as an example.

Overspray on the underside of the hood is also common though this one is really heavy compared to most that I see.

Very nice original car. I see the lack of chrome trim on the bucket seat bottoms. Curious about that as I normally do not see chrome on seat bottoms of SS cars but do on Malibu's.

I like the red bucket seat interior on a plain janer. Makes for a nice sleeper.

Re: A new Chevelle addtion to the "family"
 

yes, a very nice score. I'm almost ready to change up. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Very nice car.....but tell him to change those awful wheels.

Gary, It looks like you've got a great father/son/brother/uncle(Bruce) deal going there, the Chevelle really doesn't look like it needs anything immediately, so happy motoring. Sorry we didn't' get a chance to meet you or see the car while we were at pavilions, maybe next time. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
