I like it a lot. :metal:

I've always loved those wheels too, to bad they aren't made in a 5x5 bolt pattern.:waah:

I don't know if you got the wheels for your car yet, but there is a set listed on cl not too far from you. Closer to me, but still not too far.

Bob, I hope you enjoyed sitting in it before oyu took it apart. The long hard road extends before you'll be turning the key sitting there again! :lol: You'll get it though.

OOOO AAAHHH, Love me an A body! Just saw a White w/black stripe, SS454 this past weekend. Not sure if it was real but left me droolin! There is an ol' lady in town that drives that car, color and all, baldy hub caps and straight looking from across the intersection.

Been a while since i updated .. I now have the doors hung . i have been working on getting the loose rust out of the trunk and as i figured there wasn't much left;) That must be why I bought a trunk floor also... Next up finish door adjustment and cut out the rest of the trunk floorand replace it . Then on to the rear quarters and wheel houses. Also scored a very nice set of headlight extensions I had to try on ... Enjoy the pics..... Bob

Re: My New 72 Chevelle

Not much to take pics of I'm currently replacing all the body bushings so the trunk and quarters can go on . Old rusty cage nuts and body bushings are a PITA;)

Yes they are! Good luck with it Bob!
