 Engine builders using flat-tappet cams have grown increasingly concerned that many modern motor oils do not provide adequate wear protection for new engines, particularly those using flat-tappet cams. Royal Purple has addressed this issue by developing a new engine break-in oil.
Royal Purple Break-in Oil is formulated to allow optimal ring seal and protect rotating assembly components such as the camshaft and valve train from initial start up wear. Royal Purple combines highly refined mineral oil, preferred for engine break-in, with advanced additives containing high levels of zinc and phosphorus to optimize protection in flat-tappet and roller engines.

 Our '65 Chevelle's body had some rust holes in the floor and trunk floor areas, so we created some patch panels from a parts car floor and replaced the trunk floor sections with new pieces from OPGI. The main goal was to create repairs that were not obvious without the need for lots of body filler. The approach called for making patches that fit the holes exactly, butt welding them with a MIG welder, than lightly grinding the edges to clean up the seams. The 3-piece trunk floors required drilling the spot welds from the lower braces before trimming the new panels and welding them in. Overall, it was a pretty clean repair.

 When we started building our 1965 Chevelle project, complete new quarter panels were not reproduced in the aftermarket. Now, however, OPGI has released these full sized complete panels to repair the rusty or damaged quarters on your car. We're going to install one on our '65, but here are some close-up photos of these new stampings for your review. The things we liked are the completeness of the panel... it replaces the entire quarter from the bottom pinch-welds all the way to the roof, from the area around the tail light all the way to the complete door jamb. We also liked the accuracy of the stamping, as the lines and curves are all crisp and accurate. It's been a long time coming, but these new reproduction quarters for '64 & '65 Chvelles were worth the wait. Check it out! A complete video install of this panel will be posted on here soon!

 Once we got the chassis built, we took some time to detail up the L92 6.2 liter V8 going in the car. Here's what we did, along with a closer look at the Variable Valve Timing system.
