It would be a shame to put the body back on it. Too pretty to cover up!

Maybe someone makes a clear plastic 1:1 scale Chevelle body you can put on it. Like one of those old GM Display cars. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Thanks Guys! I just sent Dan pics of the latest progress.
all I'm lacking to complete the motor is a choke coil, the correct PVC valve and the oil wire clip.

Thanks for the offer Tom.
I have one. are Novas on the gas pedal like chevelles?

WILMASBOYL78 01-07-2013 03:52 PM

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 
Donnie...I forgot about that on Chevelles

...the 68/69 Novas were on the carburetor...like the Camaros. Switch to gas pedal took place early in the 70 model year.

Your project looks very nice...good luck.

Donnie, doesn't the engine code decal belong on the rt side valve cover? That's the way I've understood it. Looks great. It will be a shame to drive that rod up and down rt 80 in the snow huh?

Donnie 01-08-2013 04:07 PM

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 
Thanks!

Bill, I've seen it both ways and I always thought Driver side to be right [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

maybe someone with a survivor can chime in.

sending all that white stuff out east enjoy it. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Donnie,

I'm pretty sure the survivors have the decals on the back of the passenger side valve cover. Grady showed me several BB Vette valve covers with the stickers still on. Those were right side valve covers. Also, his stickers were red lettering over white background.

I have only ever seen them on the rear of the passenger cover.

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 
The red lettering with white background was used I believe through 69. For 70 and up it is the yellow background with the black lettering like the restoration decals are...

I made up some of the red lettering and white background decals for my 69 and they came out good....

There he goes again, putting more 1970 parts on a 1969 Chevelle.

He`s a true `70 guy, not a '69 guy at all....guys be easy on Donnie [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 
just to let you guys know. I've got a white with red letters valve cover decal on the way and I'll put it on the passenger side.
also the body will be reunited with the frame Sunday. I'll send pics to Mr. Vasic.

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 
And I am still holding his driveshaft hostage [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] I just have to put the stripes back on it and it will be finished. I need to get the oil off that Quanta puts on to preserve it otherwise the paint for the stripes won't stick.

Donnie,I have always liked 69 chevelle's but this car in white is going to be amazingly nice.
Thanks for all the pictures from you &amp; Dan. Did your body guy in Indy paint the trunk? I am just about that point on my camaro and I can't get what I am looking for. George

BlueSS454 01-28-2013 01:48 AM

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 
Yes, Dave did shoot the trunk. He has his own special technique he uses. He also shot the trunk on my convertible when he painted it.

Wow,

This car tugs at my heart strings, my first car at 15 years old was a white Beaumont with a Chevelle front clip SS396 badges, and black Chevelle interior. It looked like a white Chevelle other than the tail lights, etc.

Beautiful craftsmanship. be proud.
