Discussion Forum - Northstar Chevelle Club

A kind of retired guy by the name of George Larson in Lakeville rebuilt my m20 about 5 yrs ago.  Everything fine so far. He use to be a member of the club, don't know what his status is now.  He has been working on muncies in a shop on their family farm for the last 40 yrs.  Now the farm house and shop is surrounded by new houses, so the milk cows are gone.

Looks like another project in the garage with those doors hanging up ready for paint?

Thanks I got some help from a past maybe current member. I appreciate the input though and recomendations.

Yes another one headed to paint and tore down one more today.

I agree on the GM original shifter being a piece of #$%@ but we are headed for original as can be. The spark plug wires are dated coded as are the exhaust manifolds, tranny, engine is a factory replacement 454 from back in 70. The car is a true SS and is mostly original. It is very close to correct. The carb is the corrrect LS6 1970 for the engine as is the intake. I'm about 4 to 6 hours from being 100% done with it. It's been a long 6 months.

The second orange one I am building has the correct 3963512 454 1970 block as well.

Tim, I appreciate both stock and modified restorations.  But I have to say, sometimes I think the totally stock/period correct cars have to be the toughest because you are trying to find NOS, period correct, date coded, etc. parts and that's a challenge these days (especially if you don't want to pay highway robbery prices)!

I just appreciate that you and the owner have tried to stay as close to original as possible so that there is 1 more back on the road in this condition!
