lift hooks

[Steve Shauger]

Take a look at Charley's 1100 mile car. On page 17 of the thread he posted pics and the hooks are unpainted. That is also consistent and a example of what I have seen on unrestored cars we have certified. Here is a link to two pics: https://www.yenko.net/attachments/385223-tn_012.JPG

Remember these are production cars and variations occurred based on build date, shifts and plants. Lets keep this thread civil and respect our fellow members. Personal attacks serve no purpose.

KP's survivor car looks more authentic to me.... His engine compartment has not been "fluffed up" as the ones in Jerry's pics... I'll stick with NOT PAINTED.... Just my two cents, but what do I know...I didn't write any books...

Frank,

Write a book and call it Fluffy, that's a good title. Also heard through the Camaro grapevine that Kenny P. had to buy some parts for that "survivor" car including a smog system from B. Hodel? Is that true?

Pixs that I posted were not fluffed, but you're the new expert, so what you say goes.

I will post pics of a survivor 69 Z/28 that is with the second owner who has had it since the very early '70's. His next door neighbor purchased it new, and the intake has NEVER been off of it. Guess what, the brackets are natural. Imagine that !!!! Do you really want me to go into all of the instances where you have been proven wrong ??? You really don't know everything that you want people to believe that you do. In your mind, there's only one way, and it's yours !!!!! If the pages were softer your book might be good toilet paper !!!!! Also, KP's car had an original smog system installed. So what, The last time that I checked, the lift hooks didn't have to be removed to install the system....

I am finding this very interesting.It seems that some came with them painted and some didn't.Were the lift brackets installed at the Flint plant or at the assy.plant??

It's all fun and games until someone puts an eye out

I am pretty sure that the low mile BB Z that Chad just picked up has natural hooks as well..

[Verne_Frantz]

I have a dumb question (from someone who doesn't know anything about Camaros). Were all the Z-28 engines built at Flint, or were some built at Tonawanda? The two plants had different assembly/paint procedures.
