Free time? It aint free any more but it sure feels good to be at it again full time.

Rick, lets park them together in the showcase. Two green cars side by side.

Now there's a plan!
Who's the best plater to use for my bumpers?

Dennis,
You've got nothing to be jealous of. Your original owner status keeps you in a league of your own.

Rick,
use tri-city for your bumbers. there price isnt bad they do very nice work. and with the lifetime warranty you can send them back and they will redo them for free if theres ever a problem.

Just wanted to share a picture of the factory stripes on the trunklid of the 70 I got recently.
Check out the spacing from each side of the trunk lock.

The stripe is in the right place...the car was just parked crooked when they striped it.

Not that I know anything about this stuff...could it have been possible that the stripes were added at the dealer...or after the car was delivered?

I suppose this could have been possible, but I don't think that's the case. Here's a link to the Chevelle website with the same thread I started.
Scroll down for the pics taken of the 29 mile LS6's stripes.
