Dtret Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 For the effort I received full set tinted side glass (to replace the one I broke). All 4 regulators and motors and all the power windows and lock harnesses ( had one bad rear motor). Dash harness( to fix my broken fuse box the replacement is perfect) door lock actuators some chrome and a set of buckets out of a cutlass. And he said that he owes me. So I get to go through the parts better. They were all in the red Jeep for the last 20 years. Some small block stuff I’ll grab plus some cutlass parts (possibly sell). O and a floor shifter 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 Well It’s official. 1st bolt I had to chisel off ( front license plate) and first bolts I actually broke off. 3 of the six on the rear bumper rubber strip. But should replace it anyway cause it has cracks. So not all horrible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtret Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 What’s left of the bucket seats and the some of the parts to be dipped. The tote of baggies of all the nuts,bolts and small parts. It’s such a loooong process 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtret Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 Does anyone know or have a list of the factory colors used for the frame, control arms, engine pullies and brackets. I’m heading to drop off parts to the powder coater this week. I think satin on the frame and semi gloss on most everything else. Please correct me if I’m wrong because I need to get this right. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 There is a list around here somewhere. I have it saved someplace, but someone else may find it first. I also have a good breakdown in a Chevelle restoration book, but it's at home right now. I'll get some scans or pics of the book tonight & send them to you. I just found this: https://www.firstgenmc.com/forums/index.php?/topic/17594-restoring-12-bolt-housing/&tab=comments#comment-183478 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have to separate so powder coater can change shades of black. He thought the frame was satin black but wasn’t sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 The Chevelle book differs from that list in some parts. See what you think and decide from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Here's what the Chevelle book had for a list. It came from this book, pretty good book actually. Lot of detailed pictures, charts, facts, etc. scan0004.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Peters Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Being that they are pretty much completely hidden they only have to be sturdy enough to support the seats, they don't have to look pretty. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still wet though so it may possibly look a little better dry. I might give it a second coat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 So off to the powder coater I go. Frame,core support,front and rear control arms,pullies,brackets,air cleaner,radiator top plate and more. This isn’t going to be cheap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 Well the last two days ( I’m on vacation) have been spent running around and sand( not really sand) blasting. I ran out of not really “sand”. Karen is going to be P.O. d when she sees the patio. Or as I now call it “ the beach “. Better get a broom before she gets home from work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
