Well, that was an interesting experience.

My Chevelle is now sans a frame.

This is the first project I've ever taken down this far, and I must admit, it's a bit intimidating seeing that body coming up off the frame, and realizing just how much more work still lies ahead.

On a related side-note...not that there was ever any doubt, but the frame VIN matches the one on the car. Always a plus.

So tomorrow I start disassembling the frame. That is, if my back forgives me for today.

Eric, Curious what your intent and motivation is to take your Chevelle project to this level....

thanks,

Chuck;

Several reasons, actually...

First, the car is a super-solid legitimate `67 SS396 car, so that alone warrants doing the car to a high level in my book.

Secondly, I've always wanted to do a car to this extent, I've just never quite had the right "raw material" I wanted to start with.

3rd, I want to test my own skills and see just how nice I can make this car. I'm not going to the "nth" degree with the correct factory chalk marks, part tags, etc., but I am shooting for a very nice "#2" quality car.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the car will be used as a promotional tool for my business.

Go all the way, it takes just a small amount of money and time to do it to the top of the heap. When the Z was under way it was very easy to say well im just doing a very nice car but as we progressed the challenge was on to take it to the top level we could do. I have seen your work and being the perfecionist you are the best will be a natural.

If it's anything like the quality of my carb you did it will turn out super! Ron...
