Hey Roger -

It is owned by a private party, and we only do 1 complete car a year. We do small parts and installs on various other cars, as well as cover other builds, but only one big one in-house.

And yes, Kelle does ALOT of the work on the cars!

Sunday's update (a little late) -

Front sheetmetal install and aligning the panels. Here's a tip - when assembling a car on a jig or fixture, be prepared to realign the sheetmetal on the car because the original frame flexes more than the jig.

Monday's update:

Remounting the hood and the pre-cut Dynamat... and there's a giveaway contest and a SEMA "gathering" invitiation buried in this update. As a 'thank you' those who watch these clips, we're giving away some cool swag and inviting everyone who'll be in Las Vegas to come hang out with us on Thursday, 11/1/2007. Details in the video!

SS or Mailibu or Mix
 
Just curious what badging your putting on the car - did you get special SS 496 emblems made up (int/ext). Since your putting the malibu trim to achieve the two tone wasn't sure if you were going to put a Malibu int door emblem, ones with just the SS, a custom one, or none at all. I have a buddy that will have a "496" as well and do not know of any one that makes a SS 496front/rear emblems along with the interior door - and dash plaque - figured you guys may be doing something custom ...

We've got a custom trick for the fender badges, and we'll probably have nose / tail badges made after SEMA when there's more time. We'll post the fender badges when we get 'em. I also know a source to make some 496 badges - if I can find it, Ill post that one, too.

Somebody on Team Chevelle was asking about 496 badges.

could that guy make the GTO badges? they are the ones on my fenders?
instead of saying GTO on top and 6.5 liter bottom
I need 7.5 liter on the bottom part of it.
