That's great!

I talked to Dave Olmsted at Paradise Motors yesterday and he is looking forward to having us come to his shop. He says he has some great things to show us.

Nice pictures, what do they do with those cars stored on the shelves? fork lift them in there? interesting.

[meissen]

Thanks for sharing the pics! All those cars on the shelves is interesting.

Larry- I thought the same thing, "that's got to be one heck of a counter-balanced forklift to get those cars up there."........Turns out their lift has wheels, so they roll the lift over to the rack and push or drive the cars onto the shelf. Very interesting way to optimize storage space.

I see a 70-72 chevelle! Looks like a nice shop!

I dunno if I would trust the cars on that shelving arrangement.

It's a '70 based on the front bumper having the turn signals in it, and the dual headlamps. In '71 the turn signals got relocated into the front fender extensions next to the single headlamp. The '72 is similiar to the '71 except the headlight buckets became part of the grille.

I think you would've liked it there Brian, they had about 6-7 different Chevelles all in different stages of restoration. We're going back in the summer sometime I can keep you posted if you'd like?

As for the shelving some of those cars have been up there for years without fail, so I guess it works for them.

I yea I couldn't tell the year as the shell is the same from 70-72. What funny if people usually try to make their car look newer/updated and many people have converted there 71/72 to a 70 front end.
Sounds good, My chevelle will need to get some exercise this summer.

[92conv]

Kinda figured you knew all that, just passing along "useless" information to the others. LOL .....................And yeah the shell is anybodies guess, turns out it's a '70 as well though.

I'll keep you posted as to when we're going back.
