----I am so easily confused, it seems! How do we figure the delivery date? He ordered the car and yet didnt take delivery until long after 68s were sitting in the showrooms??? I know you guys will get me on the right track, but I dont get it. I dont doubt anything about the car and it is very cool and a nice resto as well......Bill S

What vintage pics? Show us! BTW, what are "SS" wheel covers? |

Being a '69 guy would be OK, as I would just want a condition report. I know '67's pretty well and can cover that part [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] I'm going to call them tomorrow to ask some questions.
"before" pics are on the restoration website. The SS covers look like those on an early Chevy 2 or Chevelle.

http://metalworksclassics.com/project-sub.php?id=48 </div></div> A-ha, I remember now. The SS wheel covers seen here are '65 Impala types? We know Chevrolet used extra '63 Impala SS wheel covers in both '67 and '68 so perhaps the '65 style seen on this car before were owner added? Maybe the dealer had them in the parts department and snapped them on there on the lot or at the time of sale? |

Looked closely at the pics as I was prepared to buy the car, but I noticed that the left quarter panel and rocker have been changed...and all of the front end sheetmetal. Strange for what appears to be a rust free shell???? I called the dealer and of course, it is "all original metal"

Mark....are you talking about pic #150 in the restoration link? Also, I was wondering why the the front end is showing black body parts....The last front end I put on a '69 was more than a few years ago( when I was going to school)... so I saw that and was wondering if the restoration process has changed or did they just get some NOS parts and put them on.

If you look at pic 174 you can see that the left quarter panel is black in the door jamb and the rocker is black too. I then blew up some pics and noticed that the stamping on the right quarter has the correct full "phone receiver" shape but the left quarter has the partial receiver stamping. I am talking with them to get more details.
