Here is a picture of the back of the emblem.

It has three round spots that I assume is from the casting process. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Here it is.....after I drilled out the bondo that filled the holes. It fit like a glove.

Now you have to find the New Car Porter that installed the emblem on the Chevelle 45 years ago and show him these awesome pictures [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Karen and I went for a ride to Lanark/Lake Carroll, IL to see if I would have any luck finding one of the previous owners of our Chevelle. I was elated to find Robert and Patti Chalupa were home. Bob bought the car in 1977. He and his wife were very happy to see the car. Bob was especially happy that I haven't altered the car, especially the paint! Patti brought out a few trophies that Bob had won at Great Lakes Dragway back in the late 80's and actually gave us one. What a great day!

What a GREAT DAY indeed - so well done!

I am sure you made Roberts Day, as much as he made your day. I love the fact that his wife Patti won that trophy back in 1988 [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

I acquired another Van-T emblem with the <span style="font-style: italic">original</span> screws. This emblem is a little nicer than the other one so I switched them on the car.

For my winter project, I'm rebuilding the front end of the Chevelle.

After a few short days of working on it, I have it all apart. Now I have to clean parts for reassembly.

Only one of the four A-arm rubber bumpers were on the car so I ordered all new ones.

Are you going to put original 2-piece rotors back on?

Re: SOLD my 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan
 

I am also replacing the wrong master cylinder with the correct &quot;BA&quot; one.

One thing I noticed when I got the master cylinder was it's cast January 28th......which is my birthday.
