John,

Having you attend the show will make it yet another one of the best weekends of all time. Everyone will be in awe of your one of a kind 1969 Lemans Blue L78, M22, 410, Convertable Chevelle. It`s one of my personal favorites.


Dan.

Yes Kim,

Johnny is a great guy. He will be part of our convoy heading to Goodletsville, TN. in June. We will be debuting 2 freshly restored 1969 Post Sedan`s....Monaco Orange and Frost Green.

Kim...Perhaps you can also make the trip and will be traveling with Johnny.

Dan.

You don't really think I have sophisticated equipment like that, do you?

I can see the upper two on the drivers side and two uppers, one lower on the passenger side.... and no large washers anywhere

I've never seen them use washers there either.

Mine has washers under the bolt heads, but they are small in diameter....probably either lock washers or SAE.

Bill I know that your car is a true survivor....and I would never dispute that....however I have seen this mounting hardware installed both ways....bolts facing up and bolts facing down. My guess is assembly line legitment human error...heck I even find myself guessing as to wich way they go...let alone if they should have a larger washer. I`ve only re-constructed the car as per the 1969 Chevelle Chassis Assembly Manual.

Dan.

Dan,

In no way was I implying that using larger washers is 'incorrect'.....just saying that my car is no help in confirming what's shown in the assembly manual. I suspect that it would not be unusual to find things as relatively inconsequential as a washer substituted or even left off here and there on some cars.
