pulled the front clip off the Z/28

[DavidS]

I am going to leave the exterior paint alone except for a few small patches.

The engine bay, I want to look like this except for the smog. I am planning on leaving headers on it.


There are quite a few Z/28 302 pics here: https://picasaweb.google.com/LucasRe...89556991200834

It's nice, but no, thanks.

edit: I was just looking at the ad again. Why would a car without a speck of rust and perfect body panels need a frame off restoration? Faded paint maybe?

edit 2: if I hit it big on Lotto and money didn't matter, I would be buying this EBay Z/28 for only 499.

but sometimes you never really know if still needs a lot of work, or has fake tags and is extremely well done clone, or is a rebody.

I did sell my 67, it was a project car for me and my ex-fiance so I got rid of it more to spite her than anything but seeing yours makes me want one. I do like the 68 and 69 more, I hate the triangle windows in the 67's.

As the economy gets worse, pricing is getting more reasonable. I'm sure you already know this, but body condition is probably the most critical factor.

Yeah I hate body work, I figured I'd start looking again before christmas time. I have always been able to find really good deals around the holidays.
