Our 69 Yenko Chevelle restoration - Page 53

The belly of the car is pretty much wrapped up. Decals applied, everything adjusted and tightened. Ready to put on the ground and finish the topside. I am not totally done with the battery cables (they are great reproductions courtesy of American Auto Wire) but do not have the factory correct ends so I need to correct that. As in the past, if anyone sees something that looks incorrect to them please do not hesitate to bring it to my attention. Many people have sent me notes and corrected me on things I was not aware of so by all means speak up. I do not have a problem with constructive criticism and am always happy to learn something new.

Is the SWAN 3/8 ths fuel hose used in 1970 also? Is it used in other plants also?

I have seen Swan Gas stamps on pretty much Baltimore cars only in 1970. I have no experience with the 69 but used it in lieu of no markings until I find out If they used something else.

Did Chevy use little J hooks to hold the emergency brake cable snug to the lower control arms?

Not that I have ever seen.

Just a quick question on your oil pan drain plug. I always thought the 9/16 head shoulder bolt was used after '68 and the big "A" was used earlier?? Now I'm confused.

I disassembled the old locks so that I could polish and reuse the slotted door where the key goes while using the lock guts to rebuild them. Both doors and trunk now have restored lock cylinders on them. Very time consuming and tedious work but worth it in the end.

Thank you Michael V. Mike sent these reproduction V.V. Cooke plate frames to me with the only stipulation they must be mounted on my truck and trailer. 1 down 1 to go. Thank you sir!

legally speaking you don't need a trailer plate on a car hauler in Kentucky

This is the one that was on the original pan but I am interested in hearing from others.
