This post surprises me. It really does. Since your mechanic is always
suggesting ways to "improve" your car - incorrect generator, repositioning
the rear view mirror, etc, etc - why not just ask him? Maybe he has some
"Performance Chevy" paint that will look just fabulous.
Oh, and guess what? When I had the generator rebuilt on my 1958, an
inexpensive and pretty quick job, the external and internal lights were
brighter as a result. Go figure!
