That car is so sweet!

As long as you got a good laugh! Looking good Dave!

Thanks!!! The rear end and subframe should be in by the end of next week.

Yep. That was a great one!

Looking Good!! Can't wait to see this one completed!:tard:

hey look it does fit lol. looking great dave car looks funny with the stock wheels and tires, there so narrow. but coming along very good. how many days left.

After a year or two of being a trailer queen it'll be time for a day 2 makeover ....better tires, better shocks, and headers!

On Monday, it'll be 37 days but that includes weekends. I might be screwed but Mike says it'll be done.

I hope so?
you paid his expenses for a year i bet.
And time is running out to take it to the friday nite torrington show hehe.

HA. I hear ya Dawg....a lot of time and money but for me it's a "once in a life time" car and I don't think I'd let anyone else touch this car. I've been emailing the former owners who were Vietnam vets on the status of the car and some are going next year and maybe some this year to the Camaro Nationals.

It's going to be a "points chasing trailer queen" for two years max. Then, day 2 mods and I'll be driving it. During the first two years, I'd have to trailer it to the torrington show. If you help me do that....even a small amount of help.....I'll bring it.

Today's pics:

That thing is so damn sexy!

Looking very sweet David!!!

i agree LOVE the green!!!!!!

Stripes should be painted on Friday! Time is running out but it looks like everything will be done in time.

Looking good. Man, those tires look skinny, especially on 7" wide wheels.

The rear end was painted black as an assembly, which means that the rear brake drums would be black and the parking brake cables would have black overspray on them where they enter the backing plates.
Also check the AIM for proper orientation of the tie rod end sleeve clamps. IIRC, there is an unusual orientation.

Not trying to pick the car apart, but the judges will!

Yep. All 69 Z/28's were equipped with 15x7-inch rally wheels. The early ones (Sept-Dec 68) were stamped "AD" and after that they were stamped "YH". Original, stamped and date correct YH wheels are on it now.

Jeff. A huge amount of THANKS for all your advice!!!!! Pick away!

I appreciate all the advice you can offer.

No problem - I don't want to come a cross as one of those guys just trying to find something wrong with a really nice car. But, if I can earn you a few extra points, it's all good!

Keep finding.....Keep finding!

Today the original headliner kept ripping apart and couldn't be saved. The material is thin and after 45 years, I think it was too dried out. Crud. A repop is on order.

Pics from this morning.

rear stripes are on:

No weekend or holiday off they better get crackin. Lol looking good

You got that right Frank! It might take a small miracle. There is so much small stuff that gets forgotten and things that go wrong along the way.

Running out of time. 16 days until it has to be in the trailer.

^^ Nice plate. I assume it is a repro(?) I have the original plate off of my car, and I had a repro made by licenseplates.tv. It came out nice (the 2nd time around!). If you get creative with a color printer, you can make a pretty decent registration sticker. I made a July 68 sticker since that's when my car was delivered. Technically, the registration would have been renewed in June 68 so the sticker would have the expiration date of June 69. But I wanted the sticker to have the year of the car on it. Anyhow, I have the file somewhere. If you want it I'll e-mail it to you.

Thanks! It's also a repro from licenseplates.tv. If you can send the file, that would be great. I'll make a Jan 69 sticker.

On the original tag is that slots cut for the metal style reg.

car looks awesome!
only thing about rushing is people tend to forget something or dont get everything "just right".

Yes, the lower plate pic Jeff posted has the slots for the metal registration tag.

And sometimes what you thought was A-OK, like a 44 year old headliner, is really not and rips all the time.

---------------------------------------

One hood hinge had to be rebuilt and the original gauges have been cleaned up and tested.
