B-E-A-utiful.

This car will be a huge hit at NOCC.

Is it packed up now for NOCC, or taking it somewhere for final touches?

These builds make me want to take more time on my cars.Very awe inspiring to take what looked like a nice solid car and bring it to this level of build. I love seeing these pic by pic by pic builds of such great cars detailed to the T.

Ryan, I think it will pale in comparison to some of the other cars that will be there.

&quot;Ryan, I think it will pale in comparison to some of the other cars that will be there.&quot;

I googled the word pale, and I can agree, if you mean white is more pale than say Garnet Red.

Definition of pale
adjective
1light in colour or shade; containing little colour or pigment:
choose pale floral patterns for walls

Keep the pics coming.

Donnie,

She needs Me, Hanke and....Ryan in the back seat.....to get them springs to settle [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Looks great....the springs will settle....be patient, plus you still have all the interior and spare tire to go in.

I assume you....do have the correct plastic inserts for the rear tail panel trim?

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 
at this point I dont think the car will be complete for Ohio. I have 3 1/2 days from now until then to work on it. and if the rear and front door panels continue to fight me they wont be on.

Looking great Donnie.

Appears you need one of my &quot;correct&quot; Emission/Tune-Up decals for the upper rad support [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Donnie, the door panels on my DY 69 fought with Phil (Woj) and I during the restoration on that car.
We know what your going through, been down that road...

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 
What is left to do besides the door panels and heater hoses? You need to fix your plug wires on the driver side too [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img].

Postsedan 07-16-2013 03:46 AM

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 
Donnie,

In 3.5 days you can do a lot, don`t rush it.....the car looks GREAT!

Cowl seal, heater hoses, heater hose clamp on passenger inner fender, wiper hose, wiper squirters, hose clamps, hose clamps on upper alternator bracket, door panels, rear tail panel trim, decals, battery.....all very doable in 3.5 days [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 
Dan, at this point I'm focusing on everything that needs to be finished and saying F the door panels for now.
wont have the tail panel trim its still waiting on anodizing.

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 
Donnie,

Good luck. Bring it regardless. The door panels on Rich's car fought me to no end. It literally came down to 1/16&quot; one way or the other to get them to fit. They look great now. But it wasn't easy.

Hey Donnie, was your upper radiator hose ordered from &quot;pacecarjeff&quot;? I had him make me a pair for my '69 Camaro. They are much better than the other ones we're used to seeing. The Chevelle looks awesome! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Mr. Chevy 07-16-2013 08:33 PM

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 
I agree Donnie, bring it anyways who cares if it's not done. Still be cool to see it there.. If someone doesn't like it, too bad!! Car looks very nice... I LOVE white!!
