We had a lot of fun. It was nice seeing Dan V. as usual and meeting Dan, the new owner of the Chevelle. I can't wait to see the final product! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
Dan V. asked if I would take Dan for a ride in the Blue Bomber....well, I couldn't say no! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img] I think he liked the power of my little 396/402.....to say the least. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] ......and the Hurst Ram Rod too!!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif[/img] Thanks for taking time to show us the new purchase Dan/Dan.....

Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle
That car hauls ass! I am still smiling about it.
The picture of me looking in Kurt's car, is me looking in still trying to understand how Kurt shifts that fast! I aspire to have my Chevelle launch like kurt's. All I can say is holy shit! It was a great day in Janesville yesterday, good lunch and great people. |

Six more bolts and she is off the frame :-)
All the chrome, trim and bumpers are being sent out for polish and re-chrome :-) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...psh6hmbkts.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...pshq7udigu.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...psxauckjic.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...psccdm3sfg.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...psoom8qq75.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...psro4v18ws.jpg Dan |
Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle
This build is kind of similar to what I am planning (but a little more day 2) I will keep a close eye on this build to pick up any tips and tricks!

Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle

Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle
Very cool!

Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle
I removed all the bumper brackets today and will be sending off the original bumpers off to the chromer......here is what was on the back of the front bumper.....perhaps the initials of a prior owner and possibly re-chromed in 1978.
