OneStopRestoration's Special Orange 69 Chevelle 300 Deluxe Coupe

Dealt with SMS a couple times, and on my '69 300 post...took about 15 months IIRC for the door panels, but they are sooooo pretty! Got pissed a couple times, no contact by phone, and no email response, but that's how they do business. Sucks, but they are THE best at getting the panels right and using the exact material, either nos or their own duplicate. I've got a set of originals in black, for a post car I'll be selling soon.

Two steps forward Three back. Once i had the diff in and started doing the brakes i started to notice alot of slop in the clutch packs to the diff carrier. That meant tearing it back out and rebuilding with a set of new clutches and discs. Checked the pinion backlash and shimmed for each side and then reinstalled. First picture is the new carbon clutches. I had never done this before. Pretty straightforward

Rest of the pictures are the brakes, rear end and axles all in. One thing I caught during restoration. The 12 bolt cover bolts were different on the 2 clips and upper larger clip for the brake lines. I can only assume on the line they took out what came from the axle assembly guys, tossed them out and grabbed new ones as the bolt head markings are different. Hope you guys can see that in the picture.

This was just a simple clean up, replate parts and rebuild. I do wanna throw out there since the 300deluxe had this cheaper wiper motor anyone in the know, let me know if the wiper arm off the motor doesnt look right. I had to do some junkyarding to get the correct one plus the arm assembly that goes in the cowl.
