Congrats Jim.

This is going to be a cool car when it's done (day-2). [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/whistle.gif[/img] It was built the same week as mine and <span style="font-style: italic">possibly </span>the same day. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

took the azure turquoise SS post to Ken at &quot;Deuce Heaven&quot; on Thursday.
He's going to get started on the sheetmetal repair.

I know that color is rarely seen on '69 Camaros not to mention Chevelles! Good luck with the restoration! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif[/img]

James, I see you use AMD sheet metal. How is the fit and ease of install? I bought their quarters and rear body panels for my 70 z28 project. Can't wait to get to work on it.

Ken,
got the replacement floor so he may chime in. He told me it slipped right in but he really knows what he's doing!

I was very happy with the fit with this piece. I had not put in a complete Chevelle floor before. Many Camaros, and Novas, but this was a 1st on a Chevelle. I would use this part again.

All reproduction parts have small nuances. When you work with them long enough, you adjust/ modify for them. Many have the same small issues NOS pieces have. That's why God invented mig welders, and plasma cutters. (big smile)
