GLAD to hear you were not affected by the Louisville fire. It was devastating and I feel for everyone that lost so much. I live a couple of hundred miles north of you in the Black Hills National Forest and fire is always a concern here as well. I've taken steps to mitigate the risk and I'm close enough to a water source and we have the the Tatanka fire fighters about 10 minutes away. I'm building a 37 Chev PU. First time I've done a frame up build and I'm 71. I've had the truck for longer than I care to admit but circumstances have made it difficult in the past for me to work on it. I have the time and can afford it now.
@@soolegarage I've bitten off a pretty big chunk. My cousin's kid who runs an Auto Recycler hooked me up with an LT1/L83 out of a14 Silverado. Being naive, I took it. Now I'm finding how different an LT is from an LS. And how little third party support there is for them. It's going to be quite a bit more expensive than an LS but damn will it be quick, 355 HP in a pretty light vehicle..
That’s so crazy. I send the last episode of you painting the chevelle hood and doors. And seen your grandson with a Broncos gear on and was like their Broncos fans. But I didn’t know you stay in Colorado. So this video answered my question. I stay in Lakewood/Denver Metro area myself.
I am building a 71 Chevelle Malibu into a old school pro street that is taking far to long to build. Seems with this cold weather I can't get motivated to work on it even though I have a heated shop.
@@soolegarage it seems the kit I received from speedway sent the wrong bolts for the lower control arms. They are to short can't even thread the nuts on. But where I work have been doing a lot of overtime and when I do get time seems like I am wiped out.
Literally watching this whole process from the first video convinced me to attempt my first frame off restoration. I've got a 71, frame is assembled with mostly all the same parts from the videos, now I'm working on body. Never pulled a body off, never welded, never done any of it before. I've loved watching this. Can't wait to see the reassembly video!
Great video! I do have one question in regards to the Chevelle headliner. I have a Chevelle SS that I'm currently stripping down and I read and several articles that asbestos is in the headliner in various parts of the car. How did you go about cleaning the car out properly without worrying about asbestos? Thanks
I was pretty lucky some of the headliner and insulation was removed when I purchased it. I did however put on a throw away pair of painters coveralls and a paint mask and removed any remaining material then sanded the roof. Vacuumed up everything, and epoxy primed the inside roof. Bagged up the garbage threw away the coveralls. I wasn’t sure about any asbestos so I was just playing it safe.
I have found 1500 to be aggressive enough to remove dirt nibs or orange peel/imperfections and doesn’t leave deep scratches in the clear coat. , Deep sanding scratches when color sanding can sometimes be challenging to get out.

I appreciate your note. You are correct these projects take time and money. Good luck with your 37 truck sounds like a great project.

I have been there, it takes a lot of time. Stay motivated Chick you have an awesome project. How much do you have left anyway?

I really appreciate you watching. Sounds like you’re moving right along on your 71. Stay motivated these projects take a lot of time.
I am looking for 69 Chevelle that I can restore... love your videos.. but I am glad you didn't put a vinyl top on, so much issues when you do.
Enjoy your comentary and insight as I am body working my chevelle for paint this spring .
That’s great, what year is your Chevelle
@@soolegarage 1970 and I last painted it 1994.Time for freshening up
@@glennwilbur2546 Mind if I ask what color?
Nicely done. I guess we only have a few more videos of the rebuild. I guess I will have to re-watch the older vids.
Thanks I appreciate you watching.
