This arrived today for some TLC <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

I am very excited to be able to add this Beautiful L78 to my list of 1969 Chevelles. The newest owner Ed Henrich is a great car enthusiast that understands what it takes to care for such a car. This well known and highly documented L78 Convertible once belonged by Jim Brady.

Thanks for all the Positive comments....ED really appreciates it <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

Des, the Fuzzy Dice were a Christmas present from Ed`s wife and his 10 year old daughter.....so the Dice are staying put. We don`t make fun of your Canadian Hockey Skates hanging from your rear view mirror......do we <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif

Fuzzy Dice along with Graduation Tassels and Garter Belts.... was the way we expressed ourselves in our youth. A time we all loved.

They're not skates, they're air fresheners! Now go do a snow tire burnout in that beast - release your inner Canadian Dan.

Trim Parts makes the air cleaner emblems.

I have generally found that next to NOS, Trim Parts makes very good repop parts. Definitely much better all around than OER or others.

Beautiful Chevelle!

Paul,

In a lot of cases....the Trim Parts are better than a lot of the NOS parts. As the NOS are not near perfection. Just saying.....as I always prefer the NOS parts.
