    Hi. Are you talking about the panel underneath the trunk panel? I don't think they make that panel at all. You might have to make your own out of 16 gauge. I bought the top panel from OPG about 3 years ago. You have to be careful sometimes they send you out a Chevelle panel and it doesn't fit. All the best , Keep in touch

Lots of work creating the 1/8" gap around the glass entirely and raising the installed height of the glass to ditch the trim but well worth it in my opinion.

    Hello Harry, my 64 Chevelle is progressing. I had asked you a while ago about your Unisteer rack in your GTO and you responded that you hadn’t driven the car yet. At this point I am about ready to yank mine out and go back to a gear box. When going down a flat/smooth road the car feels like it wants to wander, when approaching a slight turn in the road the car feels like I’m going to lose control. I called Unisteer and spoke to Tracy, useless. I tried to get them to tell me how to adjust the vertical movement of center arm where the inner tie rods are connected to, their response was, take the unit out and send it back to them. It sure seems like Unisteer is a poor system. At this point I’m looking for opinions.

  • @classicrewind2715
    @classicrewind2715Ай бұрын

    Hi David. I went with unisteer, you are absolutely right. Their customer service is horrible. I had a question a while back, a couple years ago. They never got back to me. I hope I don't have that same issue that you have. I was thinking about using Flaming river. Their unit was a lot more money. At this point, I don't know what to tell you because I still am in my build stage. I am going to put a quick update video on the car. I'm going to take the summer off. I've been putting a couple car show videos up. Probably do one more and then take the summer off. Please let me know if unisteer ever gets back to you. I really hope I don't have the same problem. All the best. Keep in touch..

Frame off restoration body is very straight, well built 327/400+hp. Tremec T56 6spd. Some things the builder went above and beyond and some things I just shake my head at. It’s a good thing I love working on this thing. If you don’t mind, when you get yours on the road let me know how you like your rack and check the vertical play of that center arm, there shouldn’t be any. Good luck with the rest of your project.

    That's horrible. I had five pieces of metal in my eye over the years. Two metal splinters at one time from grinding. Snuck in under my safety glasses. Now I use the big ones with the side Shield. So far so good haven't had one in over a year. Very painful. I hope everything turned out okay with no damage. All the best

    This is the first and only video or picture I’ve ever seen of where the weld in Jack floor bracket goes! Thank you! I couldn’t even find it in the assembly manual! Thank you! Keep up the great work!

    If the quarter panel didn’t need work would you have built up the door? I’m having the same issue but at the middle of the door/quarter panel. Thanks

    No, I wouldn't have. When you open the door, you can see that it would have been worked on. You hide your work better on the jam of the quarter than the door. All the best Hope this video helped you.
