1969 Chevrolet Chevelle - Took A Chance

DNA Restorations turned an eBay gamble into a '69 Chevelle show car in short orderOnline auto auctions are a crapshoot, since you have to trust that what the seller describes is true. Often, it's not. But Dave Sherer and Anthony Musilli of DNA Restorations (Dave and Anthony, get it?) got lucky when they decided to roll the dice on a '69 Chevelle project car located in Colorado (they're from New York). Because it had no engine, trans, or rearend and lived in a snowy climate, it was a risk, but when the Chevelle was delivered, they happily found it wasn't a wrecked rust bucket. It wasn't exactly nice, either. "It was a pretty shoddy body," Anthony told us. Up-close inspection revealed that every panel from hood to trunk needed some filling, sanding, and straightening-but all in all, it was workable. The shell went directly on the rotisserie, where Dave and Anthony welded up unnecessary holes and massaged the panels while the frame was blasted clean and reinforced for strength.
