Black L78 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan Found

[Rixls6]

Not really anything has changed visually this week.
Eric did a ton of welding to complete all the replaced sections.

I went over to Wheelhop's shop to remove the driver side taillight section, and cleaned out the cut-up one on the trunk section that we installed a couple weeks ago. We will wait to do the final fitting of that until the quarter panel is getting mocked up next Saturday.

I will be cleaning and prepping all the areas that are hidden by the quarter panels, and priming them with some DP90 this week. All stuff that can't be reached after the panels are on.

Body shell will be put back on the frame after that, then the new NOS quarters get hung.
Should look much different, and I will have many pics of that.

A well executed plan [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Thanks for the update.

My computer crashed a few days ago, so having to access through my wife's computer, and I can't up load any pics because of it. Possibly get the main computer fixed this week.

Did a few repairs to prep for quarter panel fit-up. Had to rebuild the end of the rocker on the outside driver side as it had been whacked off when they cut the wheel opening for slicks.

Several other minor preps made before taking the body off the rolling cart, and put back on the frame.
After tightening the body to the frame we fitted the left quarter panel to the car. I'll post pics soon as I'm able.

One vote for B90 trim, it makes the whole car for me!!

I don't really care for the b90 trim on the post sedan. I look at these cars as a striped down nothing fancy (as they are ) bare bones muscle car. The trim adds some fancy bright work that just seems out of place. Just my two cents

Mike,

NOW here is a fellow '69 Chevelle Enthusiast that <span style="font-weight: bold">Get`s It!</span>

I agree 100%, the B90 is a beautiful trim package trim that looks great [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

But these cars were indeed the Strip-Down Plain Jane Models.....If the car was ordered as an L78....it was usually going to do some drag racing and you can bet they hardly had any options. The fewer the Better!

I like Mike`s two cents!
