The manual steering box is just a mock up, as we are awaiting the power steering box to arrive. This is a Power Steering optioned car.

Mark Johnson stopped by for a visit and brought his killer V-Max https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Mark...thanks for lending a helping hand. Always nice to see you, next time drag that new dual diaper changing Dad with you.

How many of you started out with your very first bike... with a V-Max? Mark did https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Darren I dont want to see any body shots of Dan. Vasic Im sorry I missed you this weekend but the boys have been sick for a week or so and I didn't want to spread the germ around. Maybe I might tag along with Mark and come up next month to your Chi-Town show. Mark

Re: 1969 Rallye Green L78 Chevelle Resto Progress
 

Mark,

Hope you can make the trip up in November.

Dan.

Re: 1969 Rallye Green L78 Chevelle Resto Progress

Lookin' good, guys...

Re: 1969 Rallye Green L78 Chevelle Resto Progress
 

Pics are back up now....

Dan.

Re: 1969 Rallye Green L78 Chevelle Resto Progress
 

I wasn't getting the pictures till now. Looks great Dan. I spoke to Jim last week, and he said you guys were assembling the chassis. Those pictures remind me of something, I just can't put my finger on it right now https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

We'll see you guys in a few short weeks? Looking forward to the trip to Chicago. I've never been to your neck of the woods. Are any of you guys, besides Jim, bringing cars to the show?

Re: 1969 Rallye Green L78 Chevelle Resto Progress
 

Bill,

As always... it will be a blast hanging out with you and the Baddabing Gang from NJ.

Just Jim will be bringing his 1969 Chevelle to the show.

Dan.

Re: 1969 Rallye Green L78 Chevelle Resto Progress
 

This weekend Greg and I put the body on the frame, finished off the firewall, installed all of the new side glass, gas tank and rear trim.

I must say the Rallye Green looks awesome on a 69 Chevelle.

Re: 1969 Rallye Green L78 Chevelle Resto Progress
 

Dan...looks awesome! Call me tomorrow!

Re: 1969 Rallye Green L78 Chevelle Resto Progress
 

Gotta say, Rallye Green was one my least favorite colors for the longest time. But about 10 years ago, it really started to grow on me. That is a real Musclecar color! It's kinda like when you see Rallye Green from very far away and can't even tell what kind of car it's even on......you just know it's gonna be on something cool and fast!

Re: 1969 Rallye Green L78 Chevelle Resto Progress
 

I like it!

where did the power steering hoses come from?

Re: 1969 Rallye Green L78 Chevelle Resto Progress

Looks great Dan. Like all the others have said that Ralley Green is killer!!

Re: 1969 Rallye Green L78 Chevelle Resto Progress
 

Looking good Dan. You make it look easy.

Re: 1969 Rallye Green L78 Chevelle Resto Progress
 

Agree with the rest Dan, you and Greg do nice work.

Are you going to put a side stripe on it? If so, what colour?

Re: 1969 Rallye Green L78 Chevelle Resto Progress
 

As cool as that looks GM really messed up to have not offered that as a RPO color option on Chevelles. Very nice. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: 1969 Rallye Green L78 Chevelle Resto Progress
 

Looks great Dan! Greg has some really sweet colored chevelles.
