If anyone is going to be selling parts at the MCC show, please  contact  
me. I am looking for a few things that I would be willing to  buy used  
if the price is right.

correct bench seat for '69 El  Camino
inner fenders for '70 Malibu
fuel tank for '70 Malibu w/o  EEC

There are other parts I would buy  for the '70 if I have the $$ but  
those are the basic things that I  need. Contact me off-list with prices.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Re Quarter Panel installation Cost

2007-02-05 Thread DonnieG67
Amen Mike.  
 
Just cause you can get it done cheaper doesn't mean better.  
 
For the '69 SS I am currently doing a frame off restoration on ...  I had 
both quarters replaced (FULL), full floor pan, trunk pan, both front  fenders 
(NOS), trunk lid, front valance panel, outer fender wells, trunk drop  offs, 
and 
all of the other rust spots cut out, new metal  welded in, Hood fixed and the 
rest of the body smoothed.   The car is now 100% rust free.  Cost including 
parts was about $6500.   This was with me and my friend Tom taking the car 
apart, sanding down the  areas that were not going to be replaced down to metal 
and 
completely  stripping/gutting the insides of the car, helping out with the 
body work  (grinding, sanding, cutting, etc...) every weekend for 6 weeks.  
 
I had figured about $4500 going into it...Once we started removing sheet  
metal, we found other areas that needed fixing... that were NOT visible from 
the  
start.  Luckily my body man is one of the best in the business and he was  
able to make most of what we needed on the spot.  While the quarters were  off, 
we POR-15'd all exposed metal.  Needed.. maybe not... but good  insurance!!  
He also suggested we fix other things while we were doing  it... kind of pay 
me now ... or hate yourself later for not doing it.  He  is a good friend, so 
ripping me off was not even in the equation.  So after  $2000 more than I had 
budgeted (and another 2 weeks of labor), it was ready to  take home.
 
The car still needs to be final block sanded a few times to get it 100%  
ready for paint... which will probably cost about another $1000 or so.   Then 
add 
about another $3500 for paint.  
 
Cheap NO but this is what it takes and costs to do it right.
 
Good Luck!!

Re: [Chevelle-list] LT1 oil pressure

2007-02-01 Thread DonnieG67
 
You didn't say weather that was a hot or cold reading ... I'll assume it  was 
at idle.  If the engine was cold... very low... should read in the  60-70 
range ... especially at start up. hot ... probably ok at idle ...  20-30 
seems to be about the norm.  If you think it's a real issue, you can  check the 
pressure of each cylinder.  Before that I would probably hook up  a manual 
gauge 
and see if you get the same reading(s).
 
Good Luck

gals, depending on who opens this email),

I’m having trouble 
with the starter on the Chevelle. Last night I went tostart the car it 
wouldn’t start. Turn the key and nothing. No click, no nothing. Everything else 
works, headlights, radio, interior light, etc. I was able to jump start the car 
by coasting and letting the clutch out. It took me about twenty-five minutes to 
get home. I turned the car off once in the garage, then tried starting the car 
again. The car started without hesitation. This is typical when ever I 
experience this problem. This might happen twice in a week or it may happen once 
every couple months. The only consistency is it never seems to happen in cool 
weather.

I’m considering the 
following items next,
- by passing the 
neutral safety switch.
- installing a new 
ignition switch.

A little 
history,

This started around 
three years ago. At that time I had a rebuilt GM high torque starter. I 
installed a reduction starter from Jeg’s about six weeks ago giving into the 
heat soak theory with the stock starter and headers. I considered changing the 
battery cable along with the starter but it looked in perfect shape, no damage 
or corrosion.

Any ideas or 
suggestions?


Thanks in 
advance!

Re: [Chevelle-list] Heavy Chevy

2006-02-02 Thread DonnieG67



I sent this to a "heavy chevy" expert of mine  here's his 
reply...


 The Heavy Chevy was a marketing ploy on Chevrolet's behalf. 
The Federal Government dropped the hammer on horsepower and emissions after 70. 
In an effort to sell cars Chevrolet came up the marketing plan to sell cars 
based on image and perception. The Heavy Chevy was a niche model positioned 
between the Malibu and the SS. In todays verbage we'd call it a hybrid or 
orphan. The premise was simple; Based model Chevelle series with stripes, 
blacked out grill treatment, hood pins and the new 14" rally wheels. The 
interiors were very taxi cab plain. Vinyl floor mat instead of carpet, vinyl 
covered bench seat only and el cheapo door panels. Base engine was a 307 with a 
three-on-the-tree. Two 350's and the big block 402 were available. 454 was only 
reserved for the SS. The car had the promise to be a no frills race car if 
properly ordered. Most came with only a couple of options. Power brakes and 
steering were optional. 

 A strike in early '71 delayed the introduction of the 
Heavy Chevy model. They debuted in early March of 71. Total production was 6727. 
They continued into the end of the '72 model year with 9503 being made in '72. 
The Heavy model was only availble on a 2dr hardtop. No converitbles, sedans or 
El-camino's were given this treatment. They were availble in every color offered 
for the rest of the Chevelle line-up. Stripe colors were black and white and 
could be installed on any color. With the exception of white on white and black 
on black. It seems like most of the ones I see are also Orange. Coinsidently I 
own two Heavys and both are Orange.. 

Hope 
this helps.. If you have any more questions let me know. 

Thanks, Chuck 


Hope this 
helps!!

If it's already together... paint is the only way. I have to do the same

BJ response... was Re: [Chevelle-list] Trailered vs. Non-Trailered Cars at shows

2005-09-02 Thread DonnieG67



Hey Phil,

You hit the nail on the head for the BJ auctions these guys just have 
more $$$ than brains. I watched a guy pay over $110K for a '56 chevy... 
nothing fancy... yes it was a frame off, numbers matching car... again... 
nothing special. MOST it should have went for is about $50K ... and that would 
have been a stretch 2 years ago. Heck ... out of the 55-57 era, the '56 
was the least popular. This same guy then paid $45K for a crate 502 and 
another HP engine (cant remember what it was)... guess he never heard of 
Summit could have bought them both for around $20K or so.

IMO, BJ is quickely making a mockery of our hobby. What would have 
been considered "JUNK", people now believe is worth $15K. Parts for our 
cars are going through the roof. I've seen quite a few "frame-off" 
restorations where the guys don't even look for original stuff anymore... repro 
all the way. More bondo than metal. Yeah, it looks great to the 
untrained eye... but buyer beware. A few years down the road they will be 
in for a BIG suprise. WHY? Just to make a quick buck. 

Have you noticed all of the "sweet" women they now have in the crowd 
assisting with the auctioning? Why? Easy answer here... when it 
comes to some "eye candy", men don't tend to think with their brains. I 
watched one of them "egg" this buyer on to bid a car way higher than it should 
have gone for ... he just couldn't tell her no... go figure. Maybe he was 
trying to impress her? Thought he would be taking her home? Heck, i 
don't know. What I do know is she is laughing all the way to the bank with 
her commission!!

Oh well... opportunity is the american way... BJ is just taking advantage 
of it I guess you could say?For those of us who already have our 
cars... well my $15K Chevelle is now worth over $25 to $30K ... should I say 
thanks?? For those trying to join our hobby... just gonna have to get out 
the checkbook... pay the bill and don't look back it's only money, 
right?

I'll get off the box now...

[Chevelle-list] Trailered vs. Non-Trailered Cars at shows

2005-08-26 Thread DonnieG67




Hey Guys,

I’m looking for some input from folks who trailer their cars and also 
those who drive their cars to shows/events for competition.

Here’s the question(s)….

Should event sponsors separate the trailered vs. the 
non-trailered cars on the show field? 


How would that make you trailered guys feel? Isolated? Would you just not attend that 
show? 

How about you “drivers”?

In the long run, would this cause more problems or solve 
them? 

How are other event sponsors handling this?

This is an issue of which those who run a show faces over and over. We do 3-4 shows a year (some points 
driven, some not) and inevitably, after each one I get quite a few inputs (well 
actually complaints) that this should be. 
As far as I know, the late great chevy is the only show around that does 
separate the two.

It’s pretty well known that if you drive your car, in just about every 
case, you cannot compete against a car this is trailered. The trailered car will take home the 
trophy (or at least first place) in just about every case. A driven car will show signs of wear, no 
matter how careful one is. Rock 
chips, dirt, grime, discolored exhaust, etc… such is life.

In a points driven show this can be critical as a winner could be 
declared by as little as 1 point. 
In a “participant Choice” or “Top 40” show, I believe it still plays a 
part, but not as much.

Not trying to start a war here, but looking for some ideas and 
opinions. You can reply offline if 
you wish your opinion not be made public.

Thanks

Re: [Chevelle-list] 70 Reverse Lock Out

2005-08-01 Thread DonnieG67




Jerry,
 Based 
on your question I'm assuming the key won't come out of the column when you're 
putting the car into reverse and shutting off the ignition. If that's the case, 
take the hair pin out of the base of the steering column (under the hood ) 
and then go inside the car and manually roll the shift bowl on the steering 
column to a point where the key comes out. I'd temporarily mark the column with 
a piece of tape to hold the adjustment and go back under the hood and find out 
how far off you are. You may find that the linkage may be installed incorrectly 
or is just way out of adjustment. 

Another piece of trivia that I'd like to 
mention is that 4 spd column and automatic floor shift columns are not the same. 
The lever arm at the base of the column is shorter on 4 spd columns and you will 
not be able to adjust the difference out. 

Good luck

Pelle,

Depends on the year 1964-early 1967... the coil springs are bolted to 
the rear. Bolt goes through the the bottom of the mount on the rear and 
has what looks like a "huge washer" that goes inside the bottom of the coil 
spring. The top does not get bolted in.

Late 67-72, they went with what they call a "cup" design. The shocks 
just sit on the rear...on this cup...no bolts. No bolts on the top 
either.

True Connections is, in my opinion, a reputable company. I've ordered 
from them in the past with no problems. I would not hesitate to order from 
them again.

[Chevelle-list] Help....need a picture of a '68 Chevelle bucket seat back bracket - Resend

2004-02-19 Thread DonnieG67


With all the tests and "are you there" emails, figured I should post this one againmaybe it didnt go through...

Does anyone out there have a set of bucket seats from a 68 (maybe even 68-72) Chevelle/GTO/OLDs laying around that they can remove the back cover and send me a digital picture of the top brackets that hold the top of the seat back to the seat frame?

I have acquired a set of '68 buckets and these are missing. I've been trying to find a set of the brackets, but dont really know what I am looking for. Would be nice to have a visualheck maybe then I can even make a set.

I'm told these were welded to the frame?? Mine look like they were screwed on???

Thanks in advance.

2004-02-09 Thread DonnieG67


I dont know who told the guy that ... but that SS emblem on the back looks like it's off of an 64/65 Chevelle Malibu SS. that when they were really a Malibu SS. 136 is a dead give away for a malibu. this is nothing more than a clone... i'd like to see the build sheet that says it's a SS. Unless I'm off the mark here... someone is going to get taken but good.

[Chevelle-list] '68 bucket seats with head rests ... Rare??

2004-02-03 Thread DonnieG67
I've acquired a set of black '68 bucket seats with head rests, are these things rare 
or a dime a dozen?  

I know the '67's are pretty rare.  They do have the side push button and plastic seat 
backs and are in pretty decent shape.  How much are these things going for these days??

Thanks

[Chevelle-list] Stratco 66/67 bucket seat brackets wanted

2003-12-26 Thread DonnieG67
I am looking for a set (left and right) of brackets that hold the back seat cover onto 
the bucket seat itself.  This would be the brackets where the top of the bucket seat 
back slips onto to hold it onto the top of the seat.  There appears to have been two 
on each seat held on by screws.   The seats I plan to use them on came out of a '67 
chevelle and they were missing.  If you have them, let me know your price.
