That's perfect thanks.

Re: Need some Critique on my 69
 

Hey Brad.

I checked out your garage link on Team Chevelle. You really need to post some of those gorgeous '69 pics here too! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Need some Critique on my 69

are you sure??? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif
Brad, are you bring the car to C.B. this year?

Re: Need some Critique on my 69
 

I plan on going to CB09 this year.

Re: Need some Critique on my 69
 

Brad, don't do what I did before Chevy Vette Fest and drag a cloth across the valve covers and knock off the tabs. To make it look even I knocked the rest of them off. They could have been pink and nobody would have known. Your bay looks great! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Need some Critique on my 69
 

Ok I have some updated pictures now.
Replaced the oil cap and has the S on the rivet., removed the battery warning sticker, installed new temp sensor clip on valve cover and valve cover gaskets are silver now. Teflon tape is removed,I am still undecided about the GM sticker on the washer bottle
https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif
I did not change the upper control arm shafts because that is what the car had on them when I got it and its a 1 owner car and was told that is the way it was when bought.

Updated Pictures Here

Re: Need some Critique on my 69
 

Looks great, let us know how you do. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Need some Critique on my 69
 

Brad,
take the chrome trim off the seat sides.
only the seat backs get chrome trim.

Re: Need some Critique on my 69
 

Donnie I just noticed it today when I was cleaning my car and I forgot to remove the chrome trim https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif
I will be sure to get it off there tomorrow, thanks for reminding me.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Need some Critique on my 69
 

I've been reading this thread from the beginning but holding off on comment.
Well, you seem to be going through a lot of worry over an AACA show. I could see you maybe worrying about a Chev Vette-Fest show or some other specialized venue for your type of car...........but NOT an AACA show. Paint the air cleaner orange; they won't know the difference. Just make it clean and shiny. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif

Re: Need some Critique on my 69
 

So, Verne, the a/c is NOT suppose to be orange? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Re: Need some Critique on my 69
 

Verne, I am going to 17th Annual Winter National show first and it is a 1000 point judged show, then I am going to the AACA show the same month since they are both in my area.
I figure since I took the time to put all this effort into my car I might as well see how well I do for all the sweat and blood I shed on this project. All the shows I have done so far 5 of them I have either won 1st place or best of show and that was before I have done these corrections to the car.

17th Annual Winter National
Old Town, Kissimmee, FL
Hosted by:
Classic Camaro of Central Florida
2/5/2009 - 2/8/2009
17th Annual Winter National

Then off to the AACA show.
Southeastern Winter National Meet AACA show in Lakeland Florida it is Feb 22-09. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Need some Critique on my 69
 

Brad,

Both VCCA and ACCA will only check fit finish and paint. Generic judging. They will not know about any of the technical corrections that you're making. Most of the judges will be owners of others kinds of cars at the same meet. Dont' sweat it.

If there is still any kind of Chevelle judging at the concours level, that is where I would channel this energy.

Good luck,

Jerry

Re: Need some Critique on my 69
 

Then I am also going to try for a senior award in 2-5 - Charlotte, NC - Southeastern National Spring Meet.

And after that one I am going to the ACES CB09 in June.
I figure what the heck at least try for something.
I know my car is not perfect so I figure and see how well it does or how well I did on the car. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif
I have nothing better else to do with my time.

Even at CB 09 about the best you can expect is a "Top 3" in your class. They don't (or didn't the last time I was there) give First, Second, Third Place; just "Top Three" in each class.
You can probably get better "Judging" right here by the Members on this site, but if you truly care about this sort of thing and want a 'Certificate' contact Chris White or Jeff Dotterer. The're the Go-To guys for Chevelles.

Re: Need some Critique on my 69
 

Brad,
You're certainly on the right course by trying to make the car as correct as possible (and asking here is the right place). I just meant you didn't need to hurry to sweat those details for an AACA show. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Verne https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Re: Need some Critique on my 69
 

Chris White or Jeff Dotterer are going to this show and going to hook up with them while they are there.
About the only other thing I need for the is my date coded horns which are being sent to me from Gary at the Horn Works and the correct tires and "smallhurst" just took care of that for me today and got them ordered. Thanks Rusty https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Need some Critique on my 69
 

CB 09 is a popularity wote and as said before they take the top 3 vote getters in each class 69 stock or 69 modified.
