Re: Morehouse LS6 Chevelle
Rick M. told me his father ordered the car for him.When he went to take delivery @ Krumpholz in the Spring of 70,he didn't like the roof to 1/4 leaded seams being so visible,so he told the service dept. to grind & repaint that area to hide it better..They said that's how it was made from the factory and not there fault.He agreed but wanted it to look better so they did it and charged him for it.His Father worked in the service dept. too.
Rick M. has some really nice vintage photos of Oswego,as well as some familiar names there like Ken Barnhardt & his ZL-1.
The stories and escapades Rick M. has with owning this car are incredible.Some are unbelievable,but all true.A really nice guy who I wanted to see get this car back.
This car was really badly damaged back then far worse then most first thought.The front end took it hard in the center & front pass. side,trailing all the way back to the pass. side rear 1/4,touching everything inbetween.
Vic Studer at Victorian Autobody here in Lockport was the bodyman/painter in 1979 who made it look factory again after the accident.Vic was ahead of his time in detail work and developed quite a distinguished reputation from his loyal customers.He was also color blind.
I was looking for some 1970 Chevelle parts recently,and heard through the grapevine a pretty good cache of NOS was for sale.It turned out to be Horace & I bought everything he had..He really kept good records & pix of everything he did & bought for this Chevelle throughout the years he owned it.
