alex's72fgmc Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 hey billie hold off on buying the other piece we will find out this weekend. also when you get here we will need to talk about some stuff as well. alrighty see ya saturday alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midshipman Posted April 29, 2004 Author Share Posted April 29, 2004 I called CARS INC. They have a part that is the full skin, from door to fender extension with the wheel housing. It's more than a skin, but not quite a whole new quarter. They want like $209 a piece for these babies plus shipping. I allready have paid for the paddock parts and have arranged for my dad to drive his suburban down to Indiana tonight so we can pick up the order on Friday... After reading on these boards, the Chevelle outer wheelhouse will require quite a bit of modification... but everything else should work fine. It's cheaper to just use what we allreayd have ordered, but if you guys think it will be too big a pain in the butt I can try to cancel my order and get a refund from paddock and have CARS INC ship me their parts... Should we just stick with what we've got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex's72fgmc Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 we can see about that when we meet up fri night "they do take returns back within 90 days i beleive" so we will see. alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie72 Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Billie, when do you think you'll be there tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midshipman Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 I get out of class at 1630... so you can expect me around 1800 or 1900. But my dad who's driving the truck will probably be at Johns by 1730 with the parts. ((Have I mentioned how much I love my father yet today?))

Guest Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 hey billie did you order the other wheelhouse????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midshipman Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 I have not ordered it yet. I will most likely order it and pick it up on thursday, and drive it to you guys. We do still want the driver's side one, right? Also, I will not be able to make it out there this weekend. Apparently it's mothers day and we all know that if a son does not spend the day at home celebrating, he will be in a world of pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex's72fgmc Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 drivers side yes it is crusty at the rear portion up to about 6-8 inches from the rear. also fyi billie the drivers side quarter is in the process of being fitted i have the rear portion clamped inplace and the extention is all lined up with holes set for the extention. i will be finish fitting the crease line and the section behind the drivers side door wednesday night unless alicia wants to kill me since i have been down there 3 night and 1 day a week. so far so good though on the progress. alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midshipman Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 Ok, I'll get us another outer wheel housing then. Don't we need to get that done and in place before the new quarter is installed?

Midshipman Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 Allrighty, it's been ordered from the Paddock (Order # 851277) and I popped for shipping. he said it was $17 to ship it, and for that... I'm not driving 5 or 6 hours and burning 30 bucks worth of gas. I shipped it to your house, Alex... and they said to expect it by the end of this week or on Monday.

alex's72fgmc Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 ok thanks billie. I am just fitting the panel at this time and getting it ready so when the other parts come in all we have to do is fit the inner wheel house and then weld them in place. I will be getting the extra clamps tonight to help finish the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midshipman Posted May 10, 2004 Author Share Posted May 10, 2004 Well boys, summer is here. I finished my finals and am now on to enjoy the spectacular summer ahead of me! I allready have ambitions (not concrete plans, yet) to cruise good old route 66 in the Monte. So yeah, I'm ready to blast this summer off it's hinge! I'm pretty open on my hours now, so let me know when its best for me to come out and help. Otherwise, I'll be spending my time working on my house and doing repairs. It looks like I have to take a summer course in July, so I'm hoping we can get Molly up and done before then. Because then I'll be in Chicago to take that course, and I allready miss just seeing that car... Let alone driving her! This georgeous weather is just reminding me how much I miss having a cruiser... Anyway, let me know when its best for me to come out to Champaign! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
