Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
Repaint. It is quick, simple and cheap. Buy one of the flat olive green camo paints found at most hardware stores. If you get the right one they are almost a dead ringer.

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
I took the car for its first drive on the street yesterday. if you plan on driving your car DONT put repop belts on it only went 3 to 4 miles and tossed the fan belt and turned the power steering inside out.
got the front end aligned today now I have a couple bugs to work out.

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
Whose aftermarket belts do you have on it? I have heard people complain about Quanta belts and I have been using them for over 10 years with no known issues.

Rick, Most of the cars that you and I restore - are mostly Trailer Queens....you won't find many weekend drag cars or PSMCDR guys using Quanta Belts. It's a great factory correct product....just not good for over 6000 rpm. Dan

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
I tried the Quanta belts on my Chevelle & Camaro and had the same twisting problem at high RPM. So worried it would damage the curved neck radiator I switched to Napa belts also.
