Chevelle updates

From "Bodyguys" stand point and likely knowing that you can not afford to pay much more than you have, this thread and your word of mouth is often times all we "restoration shops" ask for over and above as those will pay dividends for years and that is why it is so important to take care of our customers. Even though he will not get rich off this job, I will bet he will 'get rich' off your referals for years to come. That is sometimes more important than making all the money in one place. You likely already knew that based on how you run your business.

Brief mid-week update;

Stopped by the shop to drop off the fuel tank & straps and to help Bodyguy turn the hood over so he can get it painted--hopefully for the last time. Bodyguy reports the hood is now stable and he does not anticipate any further problems with it.

*fingers crossed*

When we arrived today, Bodyguy was in the process of wetsanding the decklid, which he said turned out great. He also has quite a bit of wetsanding done on the DS door and fender, so we're still making some progress.

Starting to see a glimmer of light at the end of this tunnel.

Well, as the old saying goes, <span style="font-style: italic">&quot;the third time's a charm&quot;</span>.....I hope.



Bodyguy seemed pretty confident that we've got that stupid hood licked now, but I'm not going to breathe that sigh of relief until it's been cut &amp; buffed.

The decklid is mid-way through process...



...as are the drivers door and fender...



...while the pass. side door &amp; fender patiently await their turn:



Bodyguy was in the process of taping up the trunk &amp; interior when we arrived today.




He's going to do the final blocking &amp; wetsanding on the roof in the next few days, and once we resolve the issue of where the hole is supposed to be located for the rear antenna, the back of the car will shortly thereafter be ready for paint.

God willing and the creek don't rise.

The antenna mounting hole is 1 1/8&quot; diameter located midway, 1 1/2&quot; between the trunk opening lip and the fender peak and 26 3/16&quot; from the rear of the fender, the seam between the fender and fender extension. (info from Chevelles.com)

I am sure you don't want all the info about the rear antenna being for AM radios only, right?
