68 or 69 - Not sure, I missed the 1st half. They put a Ram-Jet and a new Trans in it, I think this is the first time I ever saw them do anything to the drivetrain. At least the guy has a nice drivetrain now. The host said something like "You now have the only Chevelle with fuel injection" LOL

It was a 68. I thought they actually did a good job on this one, I didn't care too much for that color of green they used. The interior was cool but it looked like the top that guy put on was a little wrinkly.

I liked it. THis is one of the few cars that I have seen them done that I found acceptable. THe overall package is not necessarily my taste, but it has to be expected that someone that takes their car to them is going to get a similiar style when finished. With vinyl tops, he commented that his was a top grade vinyl. When I had my vert done, we used a very high grade of vinyl and had similiar issues until it got some sunshine exposure and relaxed.

I agree! :thumbsup:
Not crazy about the color really but the car came out decent. A lot of work went in to all those electronics.

I had a nightmare the other night, about my -69 being gone and my wife saying:


"Don't worry honey, it's in a shop getting fixed up for free. By the way, "Overhaulin" wouldn't take it, but "Pimp my ride" were happy to do it." :eek:
