The WidowMaker May 29th, 10, 9:44 PM looks good. i like the red interior.
ryfrat May 29th, 10, 9:47 PM Looks great,Iwish i was at that point.
blwnrat May 29th, 10, 9:47 PM looks awesome. I like that you did it in a color and stripe that you don't see alot of. Red stripe red int looks hot . Very nice job.
tmcmillan5 May 29th, 10, 10:38 PM Wow !!!! nice job.
sfsvettes May 30th, 10, 11:39 AM Thanks guys. It has taken a bit more time than I hoped.
I thought it would be an unusual color combo for a chevelle.
I know I have not seen one yet .
I like the idea of it being a bit different.
I gained a lot of inspiration here on the forum seeing all the great cars that have been built.
john5469 May 30th, 10, 12:07 PM Scott, you did a great job. Lot's of quality showing. I like it all the way around. any more pics?
Scotch May 30th, 10, 12:24 PM Looks SO good man! Nice job...
Can you bring that back end down another inch or so? If the back tires tuck as nicely as the fronts, it'll look really evil...
sg5492 May 30th, 10, 12:33 PM Looks great!!!
sfsvettes May 30th, 10, 9:23 PM Thanks for the kind words.
I will try to get more photos on this week..Interior, engine & trunk
Timhowdy May 31st, 10, 1:05 PM Fantastic job!!
F1 Speed May 31st, 10, 3:06 PM Sweet looking 69. Love the color combo. Outstanding Job :thumbsup:

MarkM Jun 1st, 10, 9:56 AM Nice car.
Are you staying with the miss matched wheels?
GenPac Jun 1st, 10, 10:15 AM So, what does that shiny slender object sticking vertically out of your passenger fender do? :p
I think the SS stripe really pops against the silver. Looks good, but lose the antenna?! :D
I wish my paint looked that good, or I mean, I wish I had paint. :(
Nice car.

That's for the mismatched rotors. dig?
sfsvettes Jun 1st, 10, 11:13 AM It's supposed to be Cortez silver , but I think my paint man used a mercedes silver of some kind??? close but no cigar
sfsvettes Jun 1st, 10, 11:17 AM You know, The worst part of the antenna thing is that it is a brand new one and the radio still sounds like crap. It is one of those Hen Harison retro look jobs from year one. I did not want to cut up my new dash.
I need to plug in a ipod to see if it sounds better.?
I hoped the rotors would slip past you .. Ha ha
:beers:

Kinda water under the bridge now but, the antenna in the windshield worked well for me (was a modern-ish windshield I had replaced years ago) when I had a radio hooked up.
I also wanted to express my jealousy over you having a 4-post in your garage. :(
sfsvettes Jun 1st, 10, 8:11 PM I get the antenna thing.. Too late now.
You're right about the lift. I would never have gotten the car this far along.
Best tool I ever bought.... It gets a work out..

bory Jun 1st, 10, 11:51 PM Got myself a 9er, and going for a very different look. Id put that rear fender even with the rear wheel. Your not gonna get that pro t look till its down.
YankeeRodder Jun 2nd, 10, 12:00 AM Great job man! Always inspiring to us all to see someone take their car to that point. Best of all it's ready for Summer! Here's one for you my friend...:beers:
sfsvettes Jun 2nd, 10, 6:11 PM yea, I know. I put 8 - 40LB. bags of lime in the trunk and had it way down in the back..
I will get my 18x8 B/S's this week for the front. Once I put them on . I will take another look and change the rear springs at that time.
Greg Jun 12th, 10, 5:32 PM Scott,
I like the combination stock/PT treatment you've given it...not totally PT, but not purist stock either.
Instead, a nice, subtle combination of the two.
Good job.
Regards,
-Greg
WestCoast70 Jun 16th, 10, 4:03 PM Wow that looks great, I don't usually like red interior but that is sweet.
TripleWhiteSS454 Jun 16th, 10, 11:08 PM Scott, lookin' good! I like the wheels and the color combo is well done. I like unique/different color combinations than are normally seen. Congrats -- you're on the home stretch!
