Today was a good day....I met Dan early this morning with an "Open" car trailer and we headed over the Wisconsin borded...just like in the Move "Stripes" <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=765b-T5P450
We picked up a very honest 3 owner 1969 SS396 All Original Born-With Drive Train. This will be another over the top - "Day2" Build <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif
We also stopped on our way home to visit all my Wisconsin bubbies - we had a great lunch at Quaker Steak and Lube.

I removed all the bumper brackets today and will be sending off the original bumpers off to the chromer......here is what was on the back of the front bumper.....perhaps the initials of a prior owner and possibly re-chromed in 1978.

Today - Before I separated the body from the frame.... I had to test fit the rare hard to find BBC Mickey Thompson Super Scavanger Headers......very tight fit.....but they do indeed fit.
Next is to send the headers out to be coated the correct orange as they were when new.

Love the day two themes, but don't forget, the 60s/70s died for a reason lol... "Beautiful '70's Shift Ball" is a matter of opinion! Beautiful condition maybe. It's amazing that such beautiful cars came out of an era that was so fugly... In the end, yours is the only opinion that matters. Just my .02 for what ever it's worth. Love the project!

Hey Dan, question for you... I was told by a fairly educated source that there are new means of filling pit marks in metal through multiple rounds of powder coating parts (frames, control arms, brackets, etc). He would not elaborate though. Is this a similar process you deployed or is this a 1-coat process?
Thanks,
Dan
Postsedan
12-11-2015, 07:57 PM
Hi Dan,
This frame did not need any extra powder coat. I have a good degree of experience with Powder Coaters and Powder Coating. I will say this....not all powder coaters are the same....using extra powder coat can come out terrible and can come out fantastic....again it depends on the powder coater and their product. One thing is for certain, you will pay more for the extra process and extra powder coat. Again I would ask and work with your powder coater to make sure than you both are happy with the end result. Once you tell a powder coater you want extra powder.....the price goes up.

You may have to rotate the headlight buckets ... maybe swap from side to side? Bulbs appear to be 45 degrees off.
Postsedan
01-23-2016, 01:18 PM
Craig,
Good eye.....trust me I attempted.....with this particular bulb it only has one notch. I do not wish to ruin and customize the original headlight buckets to make it work....perhaps if I come across another set of headlight buckets I will make the correction.
Dan

01-23-2016, 03:08 PM
Maybe get some repops and hack-away ??? That should work. Don't know how much you will drive at night, but the lights left like this will skew the beam pattern. Craig
Did you try swapping from left to right? Some of those buckets fit one side only.
Postsedan
01-23-2016, 03:40 PM
Yep repop buckets will do the trick <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif
I just cannot destroy a perfectly good original part.
Plus I failed to say that the single rear notch of this bulb is rather large.

Craig, I can't say as if I've ever had an Indigenous beer.
Tom, I don't drink a lot of Leinie's although I do like their "Big Butt".....when in season. Yes....Big Butt.....it's a Dopplebock beer and really good.
New Glarus' Spotted Cow is a big seller in Wisonsin and is only suppose to be sold in WI. There was a tavern in Minnesota buying kegs of it and selling it at their bar......they got in to a whole lot of trouble for that!
All I know is that when I have friends come here from out of state.....I treat them to good beer like Spotted Cow, Sun Drop soda and cheese curds from Decatur Dairy cause they have great threads like these that help me learn and appreciate the builds.
Now....back to your regularly scheduled program.

I even have a few bottles of "Two Dogs" beer -- not too bad but you will not want to ruin good brats with it ... LOL

Now that the chassis is 95% complete.....started cleaning up the undercarriage.
The undercarriage is in nice condition.....a few small pinholes here and there.....will weld the repairs, reseal with seam sealer, prime, paint and undercoat the rear wheel wells and rear quarter bottom.

Bill,
This Chevelle lived in Wisconsin all her life until we delivered her to the "Land of Lincoln" last June.
She lived in the garage most all her life.....she could not have seen a lot of Midwest winters....thank goodness <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

We decided to change out the Hurst Shifter and go with a Really Unique and Cool Shifter.....a P&G with a Reverse Lock-Out, if it was good enough for "Grumpy Jenkins".....it is certainly good enough for us <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif
This Shifter is new complete in the box, never used....love the instructions <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

What drivetrain on the Judge?
There is one at Floyd Garretts like that and one comes to PSMCDR:-)
I love the lack of trim rings!!

You don't see a P&G shifter very often, especially NOS. I'm digging it.
