Default 1970 L78 - Restoration almost complete

I'm retired so I spent the last 14 months doing a restoration on my 1970 documented L78. I think I'm close to about 95% complete. I plan on driving it this spring thru fall while I search for some misc parts that I would like to have but could live without.

Excellent work. On a side note your cowl induction seal is upside down though.

Opps!!! Your right. I should have purchased the Chevelle Restoration for Dummies before starting this project. Replaced the picture. Thanks Ray

You would not believe how many Chevelle's I saw at the Mecum auction with the seal installed the wrong direction. We are all here to help each other, I'm still learning myself. Car look outstanding, you should be proud.

Nice work. I've only seen one 70 L78 up close. Yours looks great.
