1969 Baldwin Motion Clone Chevelle

[Postsedan]

I have had a few pm`s of peoples asking the following....

Dan,
Why don't you start a new post for John's car up in Lounge or Technical & Restoration??
I don't think as many people will see it down in the classifieds.

So I have done so....

Each and every Chevelle we do has its challenges....these next pics show...the window alignment. Its all about the "Little Things" Anyone that has ever lost there patience in trying to get these windows to align perfectly will enjoy these next few pictures.

Dan - looks just terrific. I can hear those thrush pipes already. One issue tho, would you send me a close up of the so-called build sheet. I am not too comfortable with some of the fonts I see there. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

That's gonna be a nice one Dan. Any chance it will make it down to Nashville/CB09? Quick question: I didn't see any pics of the grill. Is it a black repro grill? What did you do about the silver tips, on the grill extensions? Paint them black? If so, what paint??

[wheelhop]

Paint them black !

SEM...Black Semi-Gloss. Not sure yet if this Chevelle will be attending CB09? However we will all be there.

Will you be towing the 68 chevelle to Chevellabration with that truck you are building?

[Bill Rose]

Thanks Dan. Done deal! Just need the bumper back from chrome. Jim, I'll deal with you another time.

Bill,

Looks Great! Now make sure you get Albert to give you an extra set of helping hands when you go and put on that shiny new front bumper http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Postsedan]

What an amazing 11 months.....the 1969 Baldwin Motion Clone Chevelle is completely finished and was delivered to its new owner today....needless to say the new owner was speechless.

If you follow this complete thread you`ll see that the date was 3/27/08 when I posted pictures of the car as we began this project and the car was delivered today 3/1/09. Nice!

Greg and I loved this project, not because this car is any better than any other 1969 in the past, it was just Fun with all the cool day 2 parts!

Enjoy the Pics!

Dan,
The car is awesome and I like the Day 2 look! You guys should be very pleased with the end result and the rewards of all of your hard work and efforts. I'll bet that car shakes the ground under it when that engine starts up. I really like the slicks and might put them on my L72 Biscayne.
Congrats Buddy,

Sorry guys,
didn't see your questions until now. Mark, yes I'm going with a Stinger Hood from VFN. We have been working on getting a batch of 4 or 5 of them done for us soon.

As far as the restoration goes, I've been acquiring parts and am about ready to get the frame blasted and powdercoated so I can have a chassis to look at soon in my garage.

[PxTx]

Are the hoods you are having made gonna be a stinger on top of an SS hood bulge or the regular type?

[/ QUOTE ]
Regular type stinger with the insert. We are trying to get VFN to do some more detail and structural work to the underneath to make less work for us later!

[x Baldwin Motion]

I know this may be a long shot, but Dan, is this the stinger hood that has the rear cut open with wire mesh?

If so, any close up photos, *anyone
Thanks.
