Yep, we've discussed Virginia ourselves almost every time we visit down there.
We're stuck here for at least another 5.5 years until her oldest turns 18. After that who knows...

Hey Ron, both you guys were at Quabbin 2012 so I'm not sure who might show up!

Virginia Mike might not be too far away so I figured it was worth a shot.

BTW. Your car is a beauty and deserves an updated sig pic.

HA!

Yep. It should be getting primer and paint soon. Mike painted a sample ralley green but original areas like under the trunk lid looked slightly darker than the paint code. He is going to match it and make it slightly darker.

Ralley green is not the most attractive color in the world, but that's how it was so that's what it's going back to.

ILuvPizzaTimes10 12-19-2012 03:51 AM

Sounds awesome! and i agree i would not change the color either

frankzlt1 12-19-2012 03:42 PM

I kinda like that color of the z its different i dont see that coor very often.

bottledbird68 12-29-2012 07:45 PM

I kinda like the rally green. It's different. You don't see it too often.

Thanks Matt!!!

Green is definitely a tough color to love. I saw one post where I think that Slowhawk also might not have been too in love with his "green Bugga".

The 1969 owner (Alfred) also wasn't 100% in love with the rallye green and almost bought a burnished brown plain jane Camaro over the Z/28.

Regardless....it's a historical thing. If the drivetrain wasn't numbers matching I wouldn't be so sure, but since it is and I tracked down and talked to the former 8 owners who kept it rallye green, it should go back to the way it was.

ls6monte 12-30-2012 01:59 AM

Green is definetly a color for personal taste but you have to admit the early 90's Polo green on the Vette's and the "cough cough" Forest green on the mustangs were pretty nice colors.

Mike showed me a sample today that is real close to the underside of the trunk color. I think it will look great since it's darker than the first sample he showed me.

He took the hood apart to totally get rid of all the trapped rust.

Mike is a perfectionist. The 68 is my fun car. If he ever started working on it, he would start to find hundreds of problems. Also cowl induction hoods didn't come out until 1/2 way through 1969. No 68 had them and the hood on there now is a crappy reproduction.


I'm just going to leave it for now.

BadBird505 01-19-2013 05:27 PM

Car is looking amazing! good to see that there are still people out there that take pride in their work

Ok then just remember if you ever part with the 68 you know who to ask first!

There is actually a sign hanging in the shop that says:

What is he painting them with? That sheen looks perfect and I've always had a hard time finding a semi gloss black that looks right.

frankzlt1 01-29-2013 02:12 AM

That looks incredible.
