Re: 67 Z28 project
 
This is the second project R/S Z/28 that my buddy has sold. I sold him a gold 67 R/S Z/28 years ago that I needed to sell to buy our house by the beach. That car ended up in Hawaii. His brother knew about this car since we were in high school in the late 70s and Mark said he would never sell it. It was not an easy decision but he knew that he could not put this car together the way it deserved. After the El Camino fiasco I am so thankful that Charley bought this car because I know it will get put together the right way.

A couple of other neat things about this car. It has power steering and a rear mounted antenna. Did you notice how clean the cut is around the shifter hole in the tunnel and I belive it still has the original muffler with the original tail pipes. This is going to be so neat sitting next to the pace car when it is done.

That is a trolley car sitting in Fresno that was the last running one in Fresno. It has been sitting for awhile.

One last thing and I will shut up for awhile. The idea of Charley documenting the build of this Z/28 and Bill Rose documenting the L/78 el camino build is like I died and went to heaven. These are 2 cars from my past that I have the strongest memories of. The CE motor that Charley received with this Camaro was rebuilt by Joe Bogsian many years ago. Joe had a long history with Ford building 4-cam indy motors. I am certain that Charley will be pleasantly suprised with that motor.

Charlie welcome back to the Z world. I've got a contact to restore the cowl plenum A/C. Dropped valve and CE block sounds familiar.
