They were applied by hand while the shaft was still in the lathe, or balancing machine. Have talked with a couple guys that built shafts at Parma Chevrolet

I have never seen any 1970 shafts that were nice and neat and always looked haphazardly applied. However, the 69's that I have seen, especially mine were nearly perfect in application with very sharp edges like they were taped. However, I know they were never taped so likely change a change in the method they used to place them.

Rick,

Just face they facts....the 1969 is a far better built and much better looking Chevelle....now that you’re finally first hand experiencing all of this, very exciting

Well if I need to remind you, one of my first cars was a 69 Chevelle SS396 (with a 427) so I am not going to argue to much with you.

As we all know too well....everything usually always comes back full circle

Going into the booth tomorrow. Cannot wait! Jamie, Joe and their crew have been putting in some crazy hours to get this ready in time for the photo shoot.
