Very nice showing of Chevelles. Makes me wish mine were done, but that's probably not going to happen soon. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Here's another 'Top Gun' winner that many haven't seen as yet. Owned and restored by Dean Davis from Moline, IL.

Re: Vettefest Pic's
 

Just out of curiousity; why would that LS-6 Pilot car need to be restored? If it's all original wouldn't it be wiser to leave it as is? From the pictures that car looks great just as is.

Re: Vettefest Pic's
 

The car has already been through a minor restoration a few years back. Still looks pretty good to me too, but the current owner evidently wants it to be better. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Sam, where do I start. 4 Novas,4 camaros, a 57 chevy, a 69 chevelle,oh, and a lonely old challenger. I may have missed a few haven't been up north in awhile. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
Mayor, as far as getting that chevelle done, good luck I'm still waiting for a quarter on my 67. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

66 chevelle convert, and a Farmall M. And a 63 Impala SS that could be bought. You're on the list.

If it still had it's original paint I would have left it alone. I was talking with Harry Snow at SVF,he located this car in 1990,knew it was a very early build and bought it from a classic car lot. He found the first sheet-it still had original paint very unmolested intact smog pretty sure motor had never been out. It traded hands a few times and as Dennis alluded to receieved an amateur level frame on in the mid nineties. It's missing a few minor items but has great bones and all all there. I have enjoyed it in it's current condition, but if any LS6 deserved the full monte it has to be this one. I could care less it's an auto and green,or that i'm going to be buried in it when finished. It's a historically significant car and while some could care less about that provenance i am honored both to own it and have Rick bring her back to assembly line condition. If timing works out on the restoration I am going to shoot a video of the car with the GM exec who ordered and took delivery-forty years to the day after it was built.
