Hello. I'm new to this website and just want to touch base. Have a 68 Chevelle SS396 that I just started restoring. Have half of it sanded; have interior pretty much stripped; need some advice on how to remove chrome molding/trim from my rear window without tearing it up. Anyone have any thoughts, I'd sure appreciate it. :beers:

Anyway, glad to have found your website. Hoping it will help me walk thru the details of restoration on my 41 yr. old SS that I've owned for over 30 years. It's an Arizona car that's been laying in the backyard with an Elm tree growing up through the hood. I cut the tree out and have just started on the restoration. Took me long enough!!!!! But better late than never.

Thanks.

Good luck on the resto.

Welcome Ralph..

Welcome Ralph!:thumbsup:

Thanks for all the feedback, everyone. I really appreciate it and you make me feel welcomed! Thanks for the advice on the tool I need for the removal of my windows and moldings. I'm sure I'll be asking you all for help again soon. :confused: This site is great! Will be posting pics of my project before too long, then you can see what I got myself into. :sad: Oh well. Should be interesting and fun, and hopefully rewarding by the end of it all.

Take care.

Thats the hot ticket. I just got one at my local parts store, cheap too. Welcome aboard!!:thumbsup:

Here's a couple of quick pics of my project. Sorry it took so long to send them. Thanks for the welcoming committee over the past couple of months. Back into the project again so am sure will be able to find alot of useful info from you guys (and gals).

Regards,
Ralph

and a couple more pics for your opinion.

That is about the same shape and color my 68 was when I got her in 1995. Good luck with your project.

I have this one

Nice project Ralph, much better shape to start with than many i've seen. Guess it's the Arizona climate. keep up the pic's, we are here to help.
Is that a Tach in the center gauges? neat.

Welcome to the site. Nice project.

Thanks Jeff. Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Will keep you all posted as progress, time and money permits. :-)

John, yes, that is the original tach gauge in the dash. I guess it's a working tach, but I just don't know yet as it's been sitting in my yard for the past 30 years. Sad, but true. Better late than never, I suppose. I'm really looking forward to restoring her though.

Thanks for the comment. Am really looking forward to being a member here at Team Chevelle.

ps.. you have two excellent looking cars! Hope I can get my Chevelle looking as sweet as yours!

Thanks Freddy. I'm trying hard. :-)
