Constructive criticism? OK, here goes.....that certainly must be a fake 69 Z28 because it is missing the cross-ram and 4 wheel disc brakes. [/ QUOTE ]  Bill, You must have read Colin's article! Kinda like the old LS-6 analogy; "Of the original 4475 built, only around 6000 still exist!"Beautiful car and a great resto job. I'll jump on the bandwagon as well: I love the blue guts.

Re: 69 Z progress
Thanks everyone for the comments!
The exhaust system is from Gardner exhaust. That chambered exhaust sounds wicked! Scuncio, I'm not sure what Tom used for undercoating. He does Rick's (SS427) cars also, maybe he could chime in... Darren, my dad did the lift brackets and I believe he used Krylon semi-flat black. I'm torn between a natural finish, orange and black. We went with black after looking at at the pics of Kenny Pascoe's old 18K mile green Z/28. Tommy Mathison

Re: 69 Z progress
The crossram was tempting, It seems like you can make an $80,000 Z/28 into a $130,000 Z/28 by adding a $6,000 repo crossram. RS's are the same way. With me dad having owned the car for over 20 years, we restored the it, to the best of our knowledge, the way it left the factory...

I use the 3M 08804 spray undercoating used with a special gun. On Chevelles, I use it on trans tunnels, wheel houses, above heater boxes (Leeds Chevelles only) and the rear out trunk pan and extensions. While it is still wet you hit it with an air nozzle to give it the factory applied texture. Works better than anything I have ever tried. Rick
