Hi all..

I actually joined the site a little over a year ago, planning to get re-started on my ride. well, life kinda got in my way..(how do you say daughter's wedding...man that money would have finished the car!..oh well..)

Heres a brief history.. Its an original LS5,automatic... red with black stripes convertible. Some options are.... cowl induction ,buckets/console, factory Am-8track (might replace with an original Am-Fm?), tach-gauges,posi,etc.

I bought the Chevelle in the early 80s with a little over 50,000 miles on it. I drove it a little bit back then,but with two babies..time nor money were overly plentiful. The car was put in storage, where it remained for about 10 years. In the mid 90s I started a restoration on the car as time and money allowed...(remember the daughter mentioned above?..4 years of out of state college put a big damper on plans.. Man was she expensive..;) )

Well, I got the car back from the body shop ,with a brand new paint job, about two years ago. AND Finally...it looks like I will be able to start re-assembly in a month or so.....hope I can find all the parts!

I look forward to "talking Chevelle" again ,and will probably have some questions for some of the "pro's" here!

Welcome back !! Get that thing done before your daughter starts having kids and wants Grandpa to help with college!

Hello and welcome back. Always good to see another 70 getting restored.

Thanks for the welcome....actually I did become a first time grandpa in October....never thought I'd be that "old" before I got the Chevelle done!!!Man does time fly!

BTW, I was moving the motor the other day and found out the oil pan has a small pin hole in it(just above the oil level). Been setting inside a heated shop for 3 years..that was a surprise I wasnt expecting...just glad I found it beore the car was done...

Welcome
