Re: What is this 69 Original Paint Z28 Worth
That is correct... the early DZ would have it on the top pad... the change over was around January for the Norwood cars and a few months later for Van Nuys.

Re: What is this 69 Original Paint Z28 Worth
We buttoned up the bottom end last night... She is looking real good
 ... and the DZ looks good as well Steve...We're gonna put the heads and intake on today... if I could get my hands on a clutch we might be able to get the engine back in place tomorrow... Got a new set of Hooker Super Comps that are matte black Jet Hot Coated... along with a chambered system... can't wait to hear her screaming...

Re: What is this 69 Original Paint Z28 Worth
James, Good idea on the matte black coating on the headers. The car should have a great vintage look with them on. It would be nice to see a photo of how they look.

Re: What is this 69 Original Paint Z28 Worth
Really wished that Jet Hot did a white matte coating... like the older ceramic coated headers.. but the matte black was the next best option... the silver and gloss black and other colors just would not fit with the vintage Patina and Day 2 look of the car. If you want a pic of the headers as they came out of the box I will post one later today... getting ready to go pick up a clutch and gasket set so we can put the heads on later this afternoon.

Re: What is this 69 Original Paint Z28 Worth
BTW, have you replaced the original rubber brake hoses? Originality is one thing but those original hoses do not last. The may look OK but after 38 years they won't hold the pressure during a panic stop.
I know from experience: I had a front brake hose blow out on a Z11 I had back in 1980, and those hoses were only 11 years old at the time. Forget about the theory that dual master cylinders will divert the fluid to the rear system. Dont bet your life on it! It was quite an adventure: no brakes trying to stop the car as it went down a hill, picking up speed to about 100 mph, on a tree lined road, threading the needle through a four-way intersection with a red light, past a school as the buses were pulling out. I was only able to stop as the car crested the next hill, with the emergency brake jammed all the way to the floor. I was 17 at the time and I have never ignored my brake lines again. Oh, and listen to your mom about always wearing clean underwear. I definitely needed a new pair after that...and a new seat cover as well.

Re: What is this 69 Original Paint Z28 Worth
Yep replaced the hoses immediately... one thing I am not going to mess around with is the ability to stop a ton and a half of metal...
Brakes are essential... LOL used to think differently... older and wiser now though!!!
