Re: RogerD's 1969 COPO Dick Harrell Chevelle TH400 CX
Nice weather in TX still holding out . . .
Under the car Monday evening to remove the drive shaft . . . Just a bit of rotational wobble and a slight vibration . . . Had it 'trued' (straightened) and balanced at a local shop . . . Spins smooth now and not a hint of wobble . . . Anxious to take it out for a spin . . . Maybe this weekend

Good stuff Roger!
Nice new solid shifting trans and now, no signs of a shake or shimmy in the drivetrain. Glad to hear you found what was causing that.

Re: RogerD's 1969 COPO Dick Harrell Chevelle TH400 CX
Rainy day here and I just read through this entire thread. What a great story! I cannot imagine driving past a dealership in 1969, seeing this car and then realizing it was a 427 car--and then closing the deal that same morning! I would have vapor-locked the day I located the car after all these years and hoping to close the deal before something or someone scuttled it. Love the '67 427 Impala V emblems on the fenders.
