<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Schonyenko2</div><div class="ubbcode-body">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) </div></div>

Congrats on this being your first Chevelle....hope you get to do many more [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Well, not exactly virgin. Depends on the year. Actually had more 66-67 Chevelles than 69s over the years, and that was before you could get full floors so you had to piece them together. Not all that difficult, but full floors are much better.

The Nickey sold came from John Jensen. He had it for quite a while partially done. Sold it to a friend that I've known since high school who had a Lemans blue L78 Chevelle back in the day. We had done a 69 Camaro project with him a year ago. Now he's decided that he needs this Chevelle. It's an L34 4spd. He's arguing with himself about stock, or tweaked.
I actually have a Cortez silver 69 SS Chevelle 4spd. Bought from the original owner. Just need to work on it someday.

Ken,

Cortez Silver 1969 SS396, 4 speed Chevelle [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

After you finish the Dusk Blue Nickey `69 SS396, you owe it to YOURSELF to finish your
Cortez Silver `69 SS396, 4spd.... we are not getting any younger.

Great car,

1969 Chevelles are perfect, IMHO.
