Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

Kind of reminds me a lot of Benny's car.

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

Under coating even reached the booster. My 69 camaro has a lot as well, they even hit the washer bottle and smog pump on my car.

Yes it does remind me of Benny's...

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

FYI, "Benny" is Ben Arena who owns a VINTAGE certified 1970 Classic Copper survivor with 9600 miles.............

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

....So Charley can fetch the mail at the front of his driveway 8471 times,before he relinquishes the mileage title. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

You only get those items with a new car.. Awesome!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

Look at the headliner....No repop headliner ever looks like this. Thanks for sharing.

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

What is that peaking out from between the gas tank and the tank mat? Will Charley drop the tank or not? Will he check under the back seat? So many questions and so few answers https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

pic of a build sheet still bolted to inner fender and taped to the firewall. Would be gone if it ever got wet. https://www.yenko.net/attachments/371609-tn_HPIM0701.JPG

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

Great pix. Thank You Sir!

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

That would be the original oil filter.

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

Hey that is the 2nd or third survivor rad tag I have seen that has had white paint on the letter code... I see that they must have used a pad stamp as you can see where the corner of the stamp hit on the left top. Had to have been to highlight the code for easier ID on the line.

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

I see the same highlighting of white paint on my PA radiator tag. Like mine, looks like they highlighted these tags with a roller of some sort. Really cool car Charley.

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

How are you ever going to drain that original virgin oil and change the oil filter? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Dan.

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

You may be able to get most of it out through the dipstick hole using a section of copper tubing which will fit through the dip stick hole... I would use the dipstick hole trick first then refill with oil, circulate fresh oil by pulling dist and priming (which will put it through the filter) then pull it out through the dip stick again... that should pretty well flush it.

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

I don't see any need to change the oil at this point. I spoke to Norman some more today. He is 69 years old and still lives in the house his Dad built in 1939. The car that gave the Z28 the door ding was a 66 4 door Chevelle that he bought for his Dad at Brigance. The girl that dinged it was Doris Yozul, not sure on the spelling.

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

wash the car once or twice and you would make sure this was gone. https://www.yenko.net/attachments/371672-tn_HPIM0637.JPG

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

Charley,

Great score. Congrats! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif In order to get a complete handle on the history of your sweet Z, https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif I would recommend gettng a statement from Doris Y. as to what was going thru her head when she dinged the car. Might provide some interesting insight. (BTW, Doris is a HERO!!!!!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif)

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

You should send a box of chocolates to miss Yozul..

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

Norman doesn't know where she is.

This would be way too troublesome for Charley....when he could just order one of these https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

Might check the missing persons files from the early '70s.

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

What month did Norwood start production,as this is an 03 VN build?

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

Charley nice car, great to have a network of friends watching for ya. -- If I recall you had a 69 Z-28 that had a major "ding" from a cow ???? --- you have a thing for "dings" ? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Maybe he forgot which fresh cement she went into in Melrose Park.

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

Hey Charley...does it still got that "new car smell"...if not the odometer has probably been rolled over once already and you might as well restore it... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Boy can that guy hold a grudge!!!... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

Charley,
Are you going to take off the undercoating? If so, how??

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.

That fan shroud is begging for a Caution Fan sticker............
