With all the rain we had last week all the salt was off the roads so yesterday I drove the 69 for around 45mins for the first time in months. Boy did it feel good! Not to mention how good it felt to hear and see all the complements and and thumbs ups and stories people were telling me about their old chevelles they used to have. Then after I washed her all up and back under the car cover in the garage she goes.

Me too.... wasn't very much fun either (although, I didn't get called in)

Thankfully it is mostly back together now though.

Wow, doing some work. Planning on racing the Malibu ? Is that the reason for the tach ? Oh...Joan is gonna race it.

Clock should be very easy and the tach can be swapped in by only pulling the dash pad. Requires a flexible wrist to get to the two nuts holding the tach/blank plate in place but I was able to do one a few years ago without removing the dash carrier. Just an FYI.

Sounds like you have a nice list of things to work on.

No problem, they know about it. The seat & armrest pads are sitting (hopefully) out of the way.

Maybe it is just the feeling of something different but the bench was certainly more comfortable than the new buckets. Hope it works well for your wagon!
