Donnie done good... I saw these pics last week when the car arrived at it's new home. It looks like a good solid start, and a cool resto project. If it comes out half as nice as his 70 Chevelle, it will be a head turner.

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

Looks like a great car that's very solid.

Congrats Donnie! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Way to go Donnie https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

Congrats Donnie! It's going to be stunning when you're done...it looks great already https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

Awesome Car!! Good base to start with for the resto. Looks like it should be fairly easy, solid car.. I love white and to boot an L78 Car... Does not get any better than that!!

Congrads Donnie.....

Cool (literally). Looks like a great car, and neat color combo (haven't seen very many of those....ever).

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

Very nice Donnie. Congrats! I think the '69 'velles look great in D White. Keep us posted on your progress (with LOTS O' pix!!) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

Nice find! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

Way to go Donnie! I am sure it will be every bit as nice as your 70 when completed as you are as anal as I am and maybe even a little more. Looks great with the black top and stripe. Keep us abreast of the restoration. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

That Car looks really good- Is that the same one that was for sale on Racing Junk? ( I think that was the site) A solid car and some expensive parts with it!

I really want a 4-speed car, but I couldnt pass this one up.

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle

Im sure you are going to make that car 1st class but I gotta say Looking from the pics that are posted I dont think I would have touched that car!! Am I missing something?? It looks like it was a beauty already.

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle

Wow they must be. I was just thinking the same thing as Don,
Don’t you wish all restorations started out as solid as this car. Beautiful car and color combo….

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

its been painted 3 or 4 times over the years, and the lacquer paint on it is cracking everywhere.

Vary nice start!

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

Another nice surprise, Donnie found that the car still retains its original 2 piece rotors and original ball joints!

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

Don,

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
 

My 69 ElCamino also had the 2 piece rotors. I had a good friend, who could be trusted, cut the rotors. There may be very little metal to work with, so be sure whoever cuts them, understands that.

Recieved a rather nice delivery from Albert this past weekend https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
