Hi All,

Dylan and I gave the new 69 an oil change and adjusted the valves, pics coming soon.

Chris

I want to put a grab handle on the dash, do I need to use a late model one or an early model one?

Chris

Make sure you tighten up the rear view mirror. That way you can cruise faster than 65 .

Rear view? whats that for

Billy was bitchin that he didn't want to drive faster than 65, cause the mirror would shake. He was following Ben in his Oval!

Is there a difference in dash grab handles from early to late? The dash pad has been removed on the '69 and Chris wants to put a handle on the dash.

Isn't the late model molded into the dash pad?

I think that you can use either one. If you took off the dash pad, you may have to tap the threads that hold on the handle to the dash. I am not sure though if the late handle has a coller on the pad side or not. Also I am not sure if the earlier handles have the same hole spacing as the late. You can make it work though

The handle on my 69 is a sepperate piece from the dash pad, but the base of each side (where it bolts to the dash) Is slanted to follow the contour of the dash. i don't know if it would mount flush with out the dash pad. May have to go early or modify the late style.

I don't know if you can see it good enough in this picture.

it actualy bolts to the metal part....i would borrow an early one and see if it fits and then look at a late one and see which fits better...

Any updates Chris? Did you replace those CV joints yet? Make any other changes?
