SWEET!!!!!!!!! graemlins/thumbsup.gif
Was there no motor in the green Chevelle when the pic was taken or does the front end just look high because of the slope of the driveway? Anyway, I love that stock look with the SS rims on it.

Lookin good Jake. graemlins/thumbsup.gif I've got about three more weeks in the restoration shop for the 70. Can't wait. I may have to call you about the tranny (TCI400). I think it's about to give up the ghost. You still want to do the rebuild?

I think the heads were off and in the trunk..
The rear is sitting down and the front is up sligthly.

The motor has been in, out, and apart so much lately that I don't rememeber exactly where it was at in that pic.

If it ever stops raining here I'll finish it. New converter is enroute to get it pretty much finished.

The '68 is called Tripoli Turquoise or Seamist Poly depending on what book you look it up in as far as paint company.

It is more of an aqua. Kinda an odd color but it is original and actually grows on ya.

Understated looking.

Notice the lack of any displacement on the front marker lights ;)

No emblems.

Shallow caps on the ralleyes.

Not really that kuch of an attention grabber.
Grandma's car.

Still has the 307 ;) or wait maybe it was an inline 6...
