Back in the shop, our crew disassembled a pair of original GM bullet style mirrors and retrofitted the internals with modern power movements. This will add a modern touch to our classic Chevelle.
Proper hood alignment can be a challenge, even with new hood hinges. We find that the best bet is to have the original hinges rebuilt with new pivots to make the hood line up and fit like original. We had ours rebuilt by S&S Classic. They come back in a media blasted finished, we painted hours for protection.
The crew was busy installing sound deadener in the cabin, and the wiring, plumbing, and brake components on the firewall. The steering system was connected to a new steering column.
