not true!

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

Donnie,

I`d say it`s more of a '69 Cap, since <span style="font-weight: bold">MOST</span> '69`s came with them.....and if you ask a real '69 guy....he would tell you the same....we all know you`re still a '70 Guy [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

How`s the progress? What did you get accomplished on Sunday? Post a Picture.

Dan

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

Dan,
got a lot of odds and ends finished. started it on Monday couldnt run it long both short lines going in the carb were leaking. was able to get the rear one to seal up, but not the front. ordered a new set of lines will get them on this Sunday. I was using the original lines to the car, so I guess the flare has been messed up from years of on and off. after this is fixed I hope theres NO water leaks!

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

Hang in there.....this is all typical stuff....you`ll get her dialed in.

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle

Nice document.

Only some details left when the Chevelle is back underway.

Ryan

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

Don, just look at all 42 pages of your 69 wow, people have know ideal of all the time it takes to do a car. Seen it last year at nocc, was stunning to look at, love white- black top, black stripe. Didn't matter parts were missing still great to look at. Hope to see it, in 9 days. see you there Steve. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

ok I now have all my winter maintenance stuff finished. I also know have the ambition to finish this car.
so Feb. and March are for car work.

I picked up this item a while back. not sure if I want to put holes in the tail panel. any thoughts on this?

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...7-dscf1369.jpg

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

Use magnets or glue, or tape.

Nice to see back on track!!!

Ryan

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

Ryan, dont know if I want to brake the pins off to do that.

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

I'm with you Don don't break the tabs off it. Maybe a nice piece of stained wood with the emblem mounted to it and lay it in the back seat or maybe up in the package tray between the 6/9 speakers! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

Drill the holes and put it on, it's cool and it will be there for the duration... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

X2. You've got the docs for it. It will look great on the car.

Can't wait to see it done.

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

Id be removing the pins and adhering it with double sided tape... for sure!!

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

Drill it, install it and enjoy it [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Do it as it was meant to be.

Dan

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

Install it like the dealer did -- don't think twice!

Back in the 80's and 90's it was not cool to have dealer emblems on cars. That has changed and now it is REALLY cool to have them on the car. Put it on! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

Nice piece for a great Chevy Donnie!!! If Bobb put them on with posts, I would put it on the same way. Did you see any evidence with the original trunk lid?

P.S. another thot.... if Bobb had license plate frames in '69 you could go that route if it just <span style="font-size: 17pt"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">KILLS</span></span></span> [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img] you to drill the holes. Be brave and GOOD LUCK! Pls post pix of your finishing touches on your L78! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

O.K. Thanks for the help looks like i'll be getting the drill out.

2nd owner told me he took the Bobb emblem off the tail panel when he did one of his 4 repaints.
I found this during tare down.

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...1-dscf0621.jpg

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

...and you astutely took measurements and photographed it [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]!!! GO FOR IT!!!! It will be a nice finishing touch to be sure!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

Sam, I did that so if I ever got a Bobb emblem I could match up the pin width.
all I had to go on was the 2nd owner saying it came from Bobb.

I now have paper work to back that up.

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

Well done Donnie [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

Donnie,

If you ever want to remove the emblem in the future, it has to be in the absolute easiest place to repair on the car.

I'd put it on and wear it proudly.

Phil Woj.

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

Very Cool!! Put that emblem on!! It belongs on that car!!

Rich

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

Measure twice drill once!!

Go for it.

Back in the day some kid would have installed the dealer badges:-)
