Today I witnessed (helped briefly) the body going back on the frame. It looks as good in person as it does in the pictures. The body is straight. Paint is excellent. Engine and chassis detail is also top notch. This will be a real head turner this summer at the shows. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

It looks fabulous! Is the rear axle and rear cover natural? Do you plan to leave them that way or paint them? Have you put any finish on them, or protectant?
Thanks,
-Sam

Re: COPO Chevelle resto update
 

Sam, the entire rear is painted. I like the natural look..its brighter.

Nice to see how well you are comin' along. I am still working on a the name of the orig owner thru my friend that found me the car originally. I don't know what more he could offer but I would love to put you two in touch. I am glad this car got to the right owner/restorer after so long. You are doing it right and Thanks for sharing your progress.
