Another set of Goodyear L60 Polyglas tires are in the works as soon as the budget recovers some more.

At 7:30 a.m. today the car saw daylight for the first time in almost a year. The skies were still a little dark, so the colors vary a bit in the pics below.

Still have to vacuum the carpet, finish up a little under-dash wiring and reset the inner door handles to horizontal.

Trunk mat needs some heat/sunlight to lay out flat.

There's something missing here...

Now without further ado, I would like to introduce the man responsible for bringing this once derelict bucket of bolts back from the brink of death and returning it to <span style="font-style: italic">better</span> than it's former glory.

Meet Mr. Dave Baker, a.k.a. &quot;Bodyguy #1&quot;, body man and painter par extraordinaire, master mechanic, and one helluva nice guy to boot.

I have yet to meet a more humble man who possesses such incredible talent.

(And yes, that's Donnie's L78 Chevelle behind him. Keep an eye out in the tech/resto forums for updates soon!)

Look for a few more pics as soon as I wrap up the final details on the car and have a sunny day to help bring out the detail in the paint. I got a good look at it on the rollback on the way home when the sun peeked out, and this thing looks <span style="font-style: italic">killer</span> in direct sunlight.

Coming soon will be a pair of NEW L60 Polyglas tires out back and a set of shorter rear springs to help bring that stinkbug stance down about 2&quot;-3&quot;.

Thanks for following along up `till now. With the body/paint hurdle now behind me, it's time to start putting some miles under those tires.

Look for more updates and refinements <span style="font-style: italic">very</span> soon.

Re: Chevelle updates
 

Lookin' tuff, Eric . . . . lookin' tuff! That was a lot of work and you can almost see the exhaustion in that fella's eyes but it sounds like he's a workaholic already ready to jump into the next project.

Re: Chevelle updates
 

Absolutely Awesome! Now start enjoying it before it snows!

Re: Chevelle updates
 

Looks awesome and I bet you can't wait to drive put those miles on!

Mr. Baker is indeed talented.
