Re: What is this 69 Original Paint Z28 Worth
Some more cleaning... the floor pans and gas tank were covered with carbon/soot from open headers and a rich mixture. Used easy off oven cleaner...
  The 80 in the right upper corner. It was on the top of the heater box as well. Is it a sequence number or line number?

Re: What is this 69 Original Paint Z28 Worth
Cleaned everything with enamel reducer. Then coated with spray cosmoline from Rick's. Did the same with all the suspension as well.
The only thing left to clean is the floor board section from the firewall to the Rear axle. (the first layer of sirt is gone but needs to be brushed with some degreaser) Here is another pic of the engine compartment, put the 2605 that was on the pass inner fender and the BLACK on the firewall. Still want to find a few more good original parts vs. the repro stuff.

Re: What is this 69 Original Paint Z28 Worth
Exactly... Rick's sent 2 by accident and I have poured all kinds of chemicals in the second one trying to get it to yellow up some. (If anyone has an old bottle, I will gladly trade a brand new GM one for it)
I also found some used tower clamps and I am going to remove the new intake bolts for the originals that I cleaned. Found an older 515 voltage reg to install. Few more things but overall it is coming together pretty well. Parts needed Link

I predict they will be soon be coming up on eBay with hefty price tags! Rats, I need one too. I guess I'll have to use the new, too-white repro since the correctly-aged pieces might be out of my price range. Maybe someone can start a business that makes new repros look four decades old? Maybe fill it with ice-tea and set it out in the sun for a few weeks, then bake it in the oven on low heat so it doesn't melt? Just brainstorming here... (Yeah, small brains shouldn't try to brainstorm.)

Already tried tea... EXTRA strong and scalding hot... no dice! Coffee... No dice.
