Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project
update: The saga continues..repair shop that was going to help with the repairs has backed out at the last minute. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/mad.gif[/img] He doesn't want to get as involved in it as I would like to. So it looks like I am going to fix it!..I'm tired on waiting on other people...time to get my hands dirty.

Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project
Al, send me a PM... I have another fairly local network to you who will knock this out of the park. Just like Tischler, another stand out guy.
Thanks, Dan |
Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project

Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project
Making progress. Repairs on the doors and quarters is almost done...things kinda got out of hand. I figured if I was fixing stuff i might as well fix anything I may not like...right?..well if you give a mouse a cookie ..he's gonna want to use the DA!
I will preface the rest of this post with a statement: I want to be clear, that the gentleman who painted the car originally, and for those that know, you know. and those that don't, you really don't need to....had fulfilled his end of the agreement and my actions thereafter have no bearing on his work...OK..lets just leave it at that..please. the trailer damage was more extensive than I originally thought. heres some eye candy: https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...img_3230_2.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...6-img_3141.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...7-img_3142.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...8-img_3162.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...9-img_3231.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...img_3231_2.jpg front clip is finish paint and very nice.. and will just get a scuff and blend as will the roof and trunk lid. Hopefully have some color in a couple of weeks..picking up steam now |

Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project
Hi Al, this is Troy ...the guy that sold you this car....can't wait to see the car finished. I wish I could have kept it, but knew I could not complete the resto...and I am so glad the car is going to be done to a high level. That Frost Green is one of my favorite colors! 1968-1969 GTO/Lemans Verdoro Green is another color that is up there. My first car was a 1969 Pontiac Custom S 2 door Post Verdoro Green. Green, the color of Envy!

Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project
Hi Troy.....good to see you on here.
Whatever happened to your 1969 Pontiac Custom S Post Sedan in Verdoro Green? A Very cool car [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Dan |
Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project
Hey Troy!.There are a few I would like back as well.....lots of stuff coming soon. Hoping to wrap up paint in a couple of weeks. I have decided to fix anything that I see. So much sanding!!!, then its fun time..assembly!:)
was test fitting the rear quarter extensions. Its amazing how no two pieces fit the same. I tried two different housing on the drivers side (i have spares) and each one fit differently..one better and one not. Not much left on the rear of the car. Going over it closely marking imperfections with tape..getting closer https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...3-img_3317.jpg this housing is one of the originals from my COPO..had the same type issues [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] |
Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project
As we All Know....when these car were built....two things were a given....the speed of production, which automatically throws out quality control...especially on Mondays and Fridays.
We build them sooooo much better [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Well done Albert [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] The fun stuff is soon. Dan |
Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project
Very true Dan, The primer and paint used now would have done 3 assyembly line cars back then.
Lookin' good Albert.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Mike |
Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project
