Jeez....it's been a while since I posted details on the 69 Z.

Between fixing up the money pit (house), work, family life, and a 1st gen disagreement, I got off track with fixing up the Z and didn't do anything on it for a year.

Jeff68 has been getting me back on track and focused. The devil is in the details. He has been helping me research what is correct and tracking down original hardware.

For the Z, after some simple operations stuff, I need 49 more points to make Legends gold. Not many cars have made it that far.

I was feeling burnt out, but, with Jeff's help....I will hit gold level. The plan is to hit gold and then start driving the car a lot more.

For hardware, the list is:

Parts Needed

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

1. Grille stiffener screws: I have the wrong ones (should be black?)

2. Front spoiler retaining screws: I have the wrong ones.

3. Front spoiler washers for outer braces: I don’t have any.

4. Header emblem: I have a reproduction on there. Need a great condition NOS one. Even in the 1969 pictures, the emblem is missing and grille has been repainted black.

5. Engine Lift bracket bolts: I have the wrong ones.

6. PVC, Hoses & Clamps: I need just one, clamp should have square ends with the correct logo

7. Front Shock: 3192477, dated correctly for a 2nd week Jan 69 car. Late 68 would be good.

8. Sway Bar & Links: link bolt should be fine thread. Mine is not correct.

9. Fuel Lines: #5,7. 8 wrong clips

10. Brake Lines: green clip is missing on cross member, #1 clip s/b blue # 4, 5, 6, 7

11. Emergency Brake Hardware: mouse ears incorrect

12. Fuel Tank: ground screw wrong

13. Weatherstrip: slight wear to rubber on on retainer, pinch weld on driver missing metal tab

14. Battery & Hold Down: wrong hold down

15. Battery Cables: ground wire to therm housing missing star washer
