Re: 1969 Chevelle L78 Monaco Orange
Ok....here's the kicker, since Jerry's rear end was narrowed, I found a 12 bolt locally for sale on Craigslist yesterday. I call the guy and remarkably....it's dated a couple of months before Jerry's car. Rip and Jerry go look at it tonight and it's a <span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold">KK </span></span>code. What are the chances of that??????? So, the original rearend will go in Jerry's garage and this one goes in the car. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
Rip told me that's the last piece to the puzzle. Jerry told Rip he's going to sleep with it tonight!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif[/img] It just doesn't get any better than that!!!! Kurt [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Re: 1969 Chevelle L78 Monaco Orange
It's great to see another one saved. Now that's the definition of craftmanship!

Re: 1969 Chevelle L78 Monaco Orange
Is that the original rosewood wheel? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]
If so, please ask him to remove it and store it somewhere safe during the restoration. I've had way too many origInal wheels ruined at bodyshops, and it pains me to see that perfect wheel sitting there. Whether its cracking from the dry conditions, or paint/solvent on someones hands, or just heaving on the wheel to turn the car in the shop, it is just waiting to get damaged. I'd be happy to send him a crappy loaner wheel, free of charge.
