Damien,

NICE, are they dated correctly for your Chevelle? Are they AO Wheels?

Dan

Re: '70 SS Chevelle
 

They are repros Dan. If I can find a reasonably priced set of restored AO's with good lug holes I'll take them but haven't found anything yet.

Re: '70 SS Chevelle
 

Mounted the new wheels and tires today. Very happy with the result.

Seats back from the trimmer today and back in the car. Very happy with the result. The trimmer did a great job, they are all symmetrical and everything lines up great like it should.

Re: '70 SS Chevelle
 

First off your Chevelle looks outstanding!!! You must be like me &quot;detail oriented&quot;.
I too hate dealing with SMS and I'm in the states. They sent me a perfect sample for my headliner but after about a 5 month wait I got what looks correct but made of vinyl instead of the material sample they sent me before the job. Now that it is done and in no one will know unless you touch it but wasn't happy with their slowness, excuses and then a bait and switch for material.

Re: '70 SS Chevelle
 

Thanks Ron. Nice Sebring by the way. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
Now it's done I'm leaving SMS in the rear view mirror and moving on. I look forward to using Legendary for my future projects, whatever they may be. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

SMS = SLOWEST MATERIAL SERVICE [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

Re: '70 SS Chevelle
 

I too use Legendary for all my upholstery needs but SMS was the only place with the correct pattern for my headliner. Years back on my first SSP legendary was able to make me one from NOS material they found but I guess 20 years makes a difference!!!

Re: '70 SS Chevelle
 

I closed the book on the '70 yesterday when it was sold. It was a bitter sweet moment watching it drive away but it went to a great family and they love the car. I decided a little while ago to get myself back into another '69 Chevelle. I have a '69 SS that is also for sale that requires a little love to bring it up to where it should be and if it doesn't sell in the next few weeks I may get some registration on it and use until it does.

Re: '70 SS Chevelle
 

Well done Damien :-)

You should be very proud on how you greatly improved your '70.
I am sure the new family will love it for years to come.

Now off to sell the '69 to buy another '69 or something different?

Are you going to attend the MCACN in 2016?

Dan

Re: '70 SS Chevelle
 

Thanks Dan, much appreciated.
Best case scenario for me is I sell the '69 I have now and buy a better '69 SS 396 Chevelle. L34 or L35. I have had enough of the buying and selling for a while, the market is pretty tough at the moment. I want to get myself into something along the lines of the silver '69 I had and should have kept! Live and learn. After having 9 cars in 6 or 7 years I have worked out that I'm a '69 guy.
And yes, MCACN and Pavilions are in our sights for 2016. Would love to put some faces to names and thank some people personally for help along the way.

Re: '70 SS Chevelle
 

Cool...it would be great to meet you!
