Great breakdown and assembly Brian. Keep up your great work restoring this classic.

While watching the time lapse, it's interesting to hear a cardinal singing in the background with it's call speeded up. Nice pointers on the control arm bushings.

I was 19 in 1978. I still had my first car; a 1966 Bel Air 4-door. In June, I found a '69 Chevelle in the newspaper classifieds that was advertised as an SS-396 (375 hp). My first (and only) true muscle car. In the years after I sold the Chevelle, I gradually came to accept that it was most likely a clone created from an ordinary Chevelle. Even though the car was only 9 years old when I bought it. For a couple of reasons: It had a pre-1968 big block with aluminum Chevy intake. When I changed the oil, I discovered that it took a Mopar part no. for the oil filter. Evidence that someone converted from a cannister filter to aftermarket spin-on. Also, it had an open differential with really tall gears. Which made the speedo read slow. So the speedometer gear in the Muncie was obviously calibrated for a faster spinning pinion gear than what came with that car. I'll never know the actual displacement of the engine, but it did have a pretty good sounding cam in it.

@@threeriverswrench Thanks. The Chevelle was also painted a bright butterscotch gold (different from the original Dusk Blue) and had a white vinyl top added. It was a nice combination.

Would there be a benefit to just weld the angle iron in there??

I guess you could on the lower control arms. I don’t think it would interfere with anything. Couldn’t do it on the upper arms though, it would definitely get in the way during reassembly. Good question!
