Re: 1969 Chevelle L78 Monaco Orange
Nothing so far. When the weather gets a little better I'm hoping to take a couple of guys from this site to see Jerry's Chevelle. Then we can get some detailed pictures and updates.

Re: 1969 Chevelle L78 Monaco Orange
Love the car! Hell no should it be repainted! Mount it on a new frame, go with a day two look for the wheels and tires... add some traction bars and certainly ... keep the graphics!!!
There are a lot of L78 Chevelles out there but how many with that look and some cool history! Looking forward to seeing the progress on this car!!!

Re: 1969 Chevelle L78 Monaco Orange
Very cool Chevelle.Maybe loosen off the frame bolts and leave it on the front lawn for the sun to heat things up.

Re: 1969 Chevelle L78 Monaco Orange
Here is an update pictures of Jerry's Chevelle. They went to Arizona and picked up a 1969 frame, took the body off the old frame and welded it to a jig and started to install the new trunk. While cutting out the old tubs, the body would make noises as if it were relieving pressure.
They had a former employee from the GM Janesville plant start working on the wrinkles. I think the pictures will speak for themselves. There are over 40 pictures....so enjoy....I know I did. BTW....Boomer took the pictures! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img] Kurt Jerry is in the red shirt with green hat below.

Re: 1969 Chevelle L78 Monaco Orange
The guy only worked on the car for about an hour and a half and said he was too sore to continue so he had to stop. He wants the car back to detail it a little more.
This is being done at TLC Restorations and is owned by Bob "Ripp" Rippberger. Ripp said the jig was rocking all around as it was being worked on. As of right now....the plan is to letter the passenger side just like the drivers side is, install a "CE" 4 bolt main block that Jerry has with all the original heads, intake, carb, dist., trans. Install a different rear end for now, interior and get it running for next year. Kurt
