Nice!

I'm going to be doing full length pans on my skylark this spring.

I'm not jealous of the bondo job around the rear window!

Looks awesome. I haven't even gotten started on our '70 yet. Fortunately there is very little rust on the body inside or out. Just the usual fender issues.

Progress looks good, glad to see you are butt welding the panels. As far as the back window, have you thought about a sheetmetal shrinker and stretcher? I haven't ever used them before but would be well worth it for that project.

Nice work! Makes me want to work on my 71. Hard to do when out of town. Keep us up to date with progress reports.

I had a 1964 Chevelle that I was going to restore, and started collecting NOS parts for it. Then the car was stolen, and never found, so I sold off everything on ebay. While cleaning he cellar this winter, I found that I still have a NOS clock that got missed in the sell out of the parts. If anyone has any interest in it, I wll let if go for what I have into it..... $200 plus $10 shipping..

Looks like some nice projects, we just sold our 71 SS 468, it was difficult, a three year project, but we built a new house and moved, could only take so much with us. I wish I had pics of us doing it, but they're all hard copy, none scanned. It made it into Hot Rod, Super Chevey, and Popular Hot Rodding twice.

Junkman, Is that the clock that mounts to the top of the dash? If so, do you also have the mounting bracket?

This one mounts in the dash. I do have the clock that mounts on the top of the dash, but it is a Corvair clock. Junk...

Thanks. I'm looking for the chevelle dash mounted clock with mounting bracket. Not sure if the corvair style is the right one or not.:headscrat
