Flint LS6 Almost done !!!
 

It's been a long time since this car moved under its' own power, about 40 years from what I've been told. I'm almost done with it, seat belts, seats, some moldings and odds and ends. I just brought it home from the shop last week and that in itself is a good feeling. I hope these pictures will post with the file size restrictions.

Very nice. :biggthumpup:

Great color :biggthumpup:

Beautiful car. One of my wish list cars.

Thanks for the compliments, it's been a long road for me with this car. When I got it 8 years ago, it had most of its' original " Born with GM Parts " I painstakingly bagged, tagged and cataloged everything. I've restored and preserved every single part from the day this car rolled off the carrier from the GM plant. For the parts that I did need to replace, it was a needle in a haystack search for NOS GM replacements. At this point in time, I can't wait to re-unite this car with the original owner. As of 2 years ago he was alive and well in Charlotte NC. We have talked over the years and he had sent me pictures of the car when he first bought it. I'm not to far from the finish line and I hope Phil the original buyer will love the car when he sees it,

Ultra cool car and a great story too. Post pics of the reunion for sure

Very nice. Concur, great color. Cowl hood, 4 speed, no console......YEP!:worship:

Looks great!!

Rich

Correct, buckets, M22, no console but AM/FM 8 Track Stereo, Windshield washer monitor, Light Package, under hood, trunk and interior and the kicker is 4.10 posi. This is an original Michigan car and the owner Phil told he threw a few guys in this car and drove it from Mich. to Daytona for Spring Break!!! He said he thinks it took a few days to get there !!!!!!!!! Go figure!!!!

Mike, looks great . Nothing better than a 4 speed no console musclecar.

Here's a couple of pictures that Phil the original owner sent me, they are from June of 72' one is by his lonesome and the other is with his little sister Julie. Notice the lower rocker moldings and bigger tires and rims on the car, I have all the receipts for them. This guy saved everything, including every piece of Dealer Paperwork, the original window sticker and all his aftermarket purchases for the car, most of which where Penzoil oil change receipts.

Hey Chuck how are you??? I called you last month I needed a special bolt!! Call me back sometime, it would be good to catch up!! Hope all is good with you!!!

Looks like youve been keeping busy......want to do another one ? In Cleveland for game 3, Ill call you next week.

Congrats!Beautiful car!!

Beautiful car!

Beautiful Chevelle, congratulations.

I had a 70 L/78 that had the rocker moldings, I noticed they were not on your car in the pic, Are you putting them back?

Amazing car and build!

Car looks great Mike.

neeeed........mooore......piiiiiiiix.....!:laugh:

It may be blasphemy to the purists, but I actually think dark color '70 SS cars look better WITH rocker moldings....

Thanks for the compliments guys. I just got my Photobucket account out of jail. Here's a link with what I started with, it should work after I just paid them to free up 3rd party hosting.

And for anyone that really likes pictures here's another 600 or so in this link. They are not really organized sequentially like I would like them to be but when Photobucket highjacked every ones account things just got screwed up.

No I'm not putting them back as they were installed after the car was delivered new

I’ve seen rocker mouldings on a few super sports. I like it 👍🏻

Finally got the last few pieces I was waiting for!! I actually got to drive it around the block a few times!! Here's a link to some of the finished pictures.

Looks great!

Can't wait to see it in person Mike!

Beautiful outcome,love how you took your time with this.
Front bumper guards really pop nicely.

This has to be the car sold through Dick Morris Chevy in Walled Lake, MI. Is it?

That is where this car was sold new Dick Morris Chevy, not sure if there is another one you're thinking about.

You might see it sooner than later Rick!

Stunning.

Fantastic, great outcome. :biggthumpup:
