I have a feeling you're going to have the nicest restored 1973 Z28 in the world when you're done. Outstanding attention to detail.

Good to see correct PS hoses...are the PS hoses NOS, re-plated originals or have you figured a way to produce new hoses with the correct-style crimp?...hopefully the latter :)

I think they are the original hoses.. James put the gas tank in today.

Original Power Steering Pressure hose which I replated the fittings.

FWIW there was someone on the CRG board about 5-10 years ago who made a set of dies for making the correct CRIMP on the Air Conditioning Pressure Hoses. The dies were made from an old set of weatherhead dies If I am not mistaken.

I sold the hose fittings and machines to crimp hydraulic and pressure lines 15-18 years ago, this is something which could be accomplished "fairly" easily.

Original 8901855 SV Negative Battery Cable is the correct negative for a 72 Z28 according to the assem manuals... cable was never offered OTC, it was obviously used on this 01A car.
