1969 Monaco Orange L78 300 Deluxe Post Sedan Resto
I had to miss the Barrett-Jackson weekend show....but thanks to Bruce I feel as though I hardly missed it.
Greg Cullum and I have some long weekends ahead of as we are preparing our cars for what is going to be the largest first time ever gathering of the 1969 SS 300 Deluxe Post Sedan Chevelle. I have so far gathered 6 of these rare cars to be attending the show in June....with a few more waiting for commitments. Greg and I assembled the entire frame and reunited the frame to body all in 14 hrs....we also ate some good food in between. Here are some pics. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...n/P1010019.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...P1010006-2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...n/P1010011.jpg Dan. |

Re: 1969 Monaco Orange L78 300 Deluxe Post Sedan Resto
Great looking work so far. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
Quick question, did the engine frame stands have the large washers on the 2 mounting bolts originally? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif I've never seen that before. |
Re: 1969 Monaco Orange L78 300 Deluxe Post Sedan Resto
WOW nice work. If the rest of the car is as good as your frame is then the car will be fabulous.
Thanks Peter https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif |

Re: 1969 Monaco Orange L78 300 Deluxe Post Sedan Resto
I seen their work first hand on Saturday and even helped with the exhaust before my wife wanted to leave... The body is even better then the frame and I cant wait to see the car back together and next to its big brother... These cars have come a long way since that Summer day in Niagra where we salvaged them from.. Great work Greg, Dan, and your little helper Holden... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

[/ QUOTE ] Hi Rick, Great question...I was wondering who would catch that. Rick you have a good eye. These cars always amaze me...I questioned this myself too. The AMK bolt kit has these extra washers in the kit...and my guess is that everyone always throws these extra washer away. But if you look and read the 69 Chevelle chassis essembly manual...it shows the two extra large washers. I learn something new ever time I do these cars. Dan. |

Re: 1969 Monaco Orange L78 300 Deluxe Post Sedan Resto
The car is coming along great Dan. The gathering also sounds like a very neat deal. Back in the early 80's I did the very same thing for a bunch of us SS427 Impala owners before those cars were really appreciated.

Re: 1969 Monaco Orange L78 300 Deluxe Post Sedan Resto
Dan, the car looks excellent !
what are the details on 'the show in june' you are going to? I might get a chance to travel this summer. |
Re: 1969 Monaco Orange L78 300 Deluxe Post Sedan Resto
Chris,
The details are as follows....June 7th, 8th and 9th. in Goodletsville, TN. the A.C.E.S. Chevel-Abration show. It takes place every year in June. For more details go here: http://www.chevelles.com/aces/ If you think you might be going...you better place your hotel reservations soon...it`s a very big show. We will definetly be there. Dan. |
Re: 1969 Monaco Orange L78 300 Deluxe Post Sedan Resto
Likely the best show I have ever attended. The show is basically just another show (a well organized one at that) but it is the best parking lot parties I have ever been a part of. THAT is the reason I go to this show! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: 1969 Monaco Orange L78 300 Deluxe Post Sedan Resto
