" pure fluke on the drive shaft because the 350 was a long tailpiece and the 400 was a 400 short tail stock. they are both the same length only had to change the yoke over to a slip yoke conversion and reuse the drive shaft."

thanxs for the cat jokes. any consolation my wifes name/nickname is Kat. but off on another tangent. im working on the front inner fenders. i was hoping that the caprice ones would work, they look the same but alas are not. so a big thanxs goes out to Dan (rarechev) he coughed up a set that have issues but are salvagable using sections from the caprice ones.
well the rotisserie is gone and i picked up an aluminum rad from bills trucks that he ordered for me from champion rads. thanxs to rarechev for the heads up on part number

the lock mechanism was seized solid with what ever stuff they coated the inside of the door with. let it sit in thinner for 4 weeks. actually to lazy to go out to the shop. mech is clean and damn if i didn't remember how to reinstall it. thank good the other door the guts are exposed. these doors came from todd.
Don't lose the little emblem things off the seats, they're Canadian-Pontiac-only I think. You can get the seats from a Chev, you can get the upholstery for a Chev, but the buttons are CPoncho only.

They actually are an Impala thing and are available in the repo market. Still, no excuse to lose them!
^^^ Wow, I didn't know that! I actually thought they were specific to Pontiac. So no difference in upholstery between the US Chev and the Canadian Pontiac?
And I know when I ordered US Chev upholstery it didn't come with buttons... doesn't mean the CARS didn't originally in the US though. But I don't recall them. One of the things that's always interested me about the 70 2+2 is where did they source the buckets from? There were no Impala buckets in 1970. So they really were specific to the Canadian 2+2 I think, since there also was no Grande Parisienne.

The upoholstery kits don't come with the seat buttons for whatever reason, but the US Impalas had them from the factory. As you probably know, the B-body and A-body bucket seat is the same seat, they just use different seat tracks. Maybe, they had a supply of B-body seat tracks left over from '69.
