Is it true Dan that you're gonna graft a couple 'B' pillars on this coupe since you have restored ALL of the existing post cars? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Dan,i sold a lemans blue blk vinyl top 69 4spd car about 5 years ago. car sold new here but the guy moved to arizona immediatly and moved back in 82 and parked the car. very nice rust free body and original drivetrain. I sold it to a friend who has done nothing with it and i can ask him if he will let it go.

------What a car, Dan!!! That thing is sweet. I know that restos are what you guys do, but Im not sure I would restore that post car. A nice fluffing would do it for me. When I saw the silver under the carpet I thought for a second that there was a color change and then it hit me how much of the lower-body color they actually use. Im am really impressed with the quality of this old Chevelle.......Bill S

Looks very nice, Dan. One question on the upper rear control arms. I see the pass side unit has the factory reinforcement plate tack welded to it. My understanding (and my observation of a dozen or so 12-bolts) is that only the driver's side arm had that plate welded on after it was machined to provide clearance at the center section. Glen Lever at Team Chevelle has a nice explanation of this at his website:
