Re: COPO Chevelle resto progress
If I'm not mistaken, they look like the rolled exhaust tips

Re: COPO Chevelle resto progress
Beautiful car and fantastic work! . Looking at those chassis shots reminded me of High School Auto shop days. . GM Oshawa used to give our area high schools new "damaged" units to dismantle for tech training. . We usually pulled the bodies whose parts were sold off then shortened the chassis and made drivable chassis units. . Besides fond memories of the parking lot races, I remember most were full size Chevys often wagons and sometimes trucks also recall a few 66-67 Novas? . I remember one school had a 72? Skylark with that tarp style sunroof....I think it had A-pillar damage from hitting an overhead obstical and think it stayed together and was sold in the later 70's with about 20 miles on it? ~ Pete

Re: COPO Chevelle resto progress
First off, Thanks to Albert for posting the pics I failed doing.
As to question of engine color: I have never found anything closer than Plasticote in the aerosol cans, Chevy Engine Orange. I have a painted valve cover I took off a 70 Camaro about 1 week after delivery and it is a good color test sample..........very close to this paint and not too shiny like some others I see. Easy to find at most auto parts stores. I have used nothing else for years.
