Hi everyone, I'm SMB. I was drawn to this site because of the 1969 SS Chevelle. I am doing a frame off of a 1969 SS Chevelle. The main difference is that I ordered the car new my senior year in high school in March 1969 and have kept it all these years. The car was built in Atlanta at the Lakewood assembly plant and was delivered to Timmer's Chevrolet in Atlanta in Feb. of that year. All of this took place within 5 miles of where I grew up. I just happened to be at the dealership when the truck arrived with my Lemans Blue SS parked over the cab. I hung around the dealership service department all day as it was prepped for me, then picked my Dad
up from work  in his '64 VW, so that he could help me  get my new SS home. I just happened to be out of school on a spring break. I was 17 so Dad had to sign for it, but I had saved up the $3600.00 over a period of five years through odd jobs, cutting a lot of grass and the profit gained from having just sold a 1949 Chevy "Woody"that I had restored (my first car) the previous summer. To say the least, this SS will always be special to me and this completed project will be a major milestone of my life. I am 56 now and hope to have it running for my '09, 40th year class reunion. I plan on driving it back to my reunion with some of my buddies that used to cruze with me back then. Our wives will follow us in the SUV, if they can keep up. Thanks to V8TV for the inspirational videos!

Very nice GTO!    I like the color.   Sounds like you're going to have this one out where it belongs... ON THE ROAD!

Hey Donny -

Welcome to V8TV!    That Cougar will certainly be a tire fryer when you get it together!

Looks good, Mike!   I bet you're going nuts waiting for good weather to go drive your GTO.     I grew up in the Chicago area.. I remember it well.    Your car sounds really good... what exhaust are you running?

Thanks, Kevin.  I have no idea what exhaust it is.  My dad had it installed @ 12 years ago.  One of the mufflers is pretty bloated like a bad backfire blew it up.  And, yes, I am jonesing for good weather!  We just had a few days of sunshine and relatively warm temps that got the streets cleared so I took her out for a quick spin. 

The more I go through this car, the more things I find that I want to change/fix/replace.  Welcome to the sickness!!

Hey Bill,

Hello everyone, my name is Scott. I just joined here so this is my first post. I currently don't have a car but I'm into the type of cars shown on V8TV. I'm also a really big fan of Fastest Street Car type drag racing and I try to follow it regularly. I'm a big fan of Outlaw 10.5 and thats the class I pay most attention to. Anyways, thanks for your time. To Kevin and crew on V8TV, keep up the good work!
