AMT 69 Chevelle

[OldTrucker]

Building a replica of one I owned in the late 70's when we lived in Wisconsin.

Will be a metallic blue with whinvoice.

 

It is a car the boys at Team Chevelle said never existed but I had the factory paperwork and dealer invoice.

Was a Malibu with a 396 4 speed.

Great start on your build, was the actual car special order or an odd combination of options?

Everything spelled SS except for trim and badging! The build sheet showed the 396 was factory installed.

Got the blue done today, just need the silver color along the bottom below the trim..

Don't  know if I'll get it done soon.

Go next month for a reverse shoulder replacement surgery .

Following this one. My dad had a 69 Chevelle when I was a little kid. I loved that car

Hope all goes well with that, had my left one done this past June. Healed pretty quickly. Only issue I am having is raising my arm above the shoulder line which I can do with the unaffected one and reaching around behind my back; have to thread my belt before putting pants on. At last appointment doctor told me that would be normal and to get used to it. Sure wish he would have told me before the surgery.

Was this a soft top? Our Malibu was a soft top. I will keep an eye on this build, doing some nice work to start.

Wishing you well on your upcoming surgery. I had standard replacement about 3 years ago and it went extremely well.

The surgeon told me the limitations I will have, but the rotator cuff is so bad if they do the conventional one I would be back in a couple years to do it this way.

My left one is bad too.

Mine was shot also from two prior surgeries, that's why I got the reverse replacement.

Wish you a speedy recovery from your shoulder surgery. Like you build of a former driver from the past.
