Very cool Chevelle.Maybe loosen off the frame bolts and leave it on the front lawn for the sun to heat things up.;)

Re: 1969 Chevelle L78 Monaco Orange

Here is an update pictures of Jerry's Chevelle. They went to Arizona and picked up a 1969 frame, took the body off the old frame and welded it to a jig and started to install the new trunk. While cutting out the old tubs, the body would make noises as if it were relieving pressure.

They had a former employee from the GM Janesville plant start working on the wrinkles. I think the pictures will speak for themselves.

There are over 40 pictures....so enjoy....I know I did.

BTW....Boomer took the pictures! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

The guy only worked on the car for about an hour and a half and said he was too sore to continue so he had to stop. He wants the car back to detail it a little more.

This is being done at TLC Restorations and is owned by Bob "Ripp" Rippberger. Ripp said the jig was rocking all around as it was being worked on.

As of right now....the plan is to letter the passenger side just like the drivers side is, install a "CE" 4 bolt main block that Jerry has with all the original heads, intake, carb, dist., trans. Install a different rear end for now, interior and get it running for next year.

BTW...I need to thank Dave (sorry for waiting this long) for the heads up on this link [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] as the new frame that's in the pictures is the one from that ad. They actually drove out to Arizona from WI a few weeks after I showed it to them.
