The Chevelle is Beautiful.....all your Mates will be impressed [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

Good idea in lowering the rear. Take some good pictures of the car.....and with you next to the car.

I am content that your are happy with your new '69 Chevelle.

Thanks Ryan, all went well. As I said earlier it is really soft in the rear suspension so that will need some attention, and a bit of a tune. The guy I bought it off used to run a bit of an av gas mixture, for what ever reason, so it needs a little timing adjustment and a couple of small things.

Here ya go, Dan. The cat that ate the canary!







Now has a standard steering wheel, as per the buildsheet. Just waiting for a new '69 centre badge.

Ok, after a bit of suspension investigation, it turns out my car has no hop bars fitted. I have absolutely no experience with these, I understand what they do, but have a couple of questions if anyone can answer;
Is there any effect on ride height?
Perhaps this is why the rear suspension is so soft?
Can I just remove these, replace the bushes and re connect the top trailing arms?
Should I leave them in, lower the rear and stiffen up the suspension? (I must say I would rather lose them and take it back to stock!)
Any info on this would be appreciated.
Thanks.
