Re: My New 72 Chevelle
I still really like the color you chose! Did Scott paint it? I can't remember.

Eric Carr Painted it because I didn't have time. I'm restoring a 46 chevy truck for a customer.

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
This is why my car had to be painted by someone else. I was buried in this frame off resto. I painted this one.

Yep original restoration. Body and paint are way nicer than original but I couldn't leave it that rough.

Re: My New 72 Chevelle
Nice chevelle.Just curious if you took your windshield out yet checked for rust.Seems like the late 60's early 70's gm vehicles are notorious for the windshield channel rusting away.

The only part of the body I saved was the roof. The windshield was out the channel was good and a new windshield was installed.
