Ouch, my poor Z28

[TimG]

Thanks guys, I think Charley should just trade me Z for Z. Maybe a little cash should go his way..........

I've got four pictures of the tear down, can I forward the pictures for someone to post? I tried, but they're too big.
They pulled the area where passenger fender mounts and the door opens OK. No visible damage to the firewall.
The engine and transmission are being pulled next week and were looking for a sub frame. We may have a line on an original RS front.
Powder coat or paint the sub frame?

Sure Tim, send them to me and I'll post them for you

Well we have a nice sub frame for the car that will be cleaned up and painted. We also have a set of 1970 used fenders. They’re non Z28, so the holes need to be welded and new holes for the Z28 emblems need to be drilled. The fenders will be stripped and prepared for installation. We have a nice RS front end and grill, too.

The hood should be an easy find since there’s nothing special about a Z hood and they used the same hood for years. I’m still having a shop do the work since they have to tools and they can do any supplements that need to be submitted to the insurance company. I’ll photograph the progress when the sub frame comes off.

On the hood issue, I don't know about the second gen Camaros but the second gen Firebirds definitely had different underhood bracing changes from 70 to 71, 72, etc, and up. Anybody out there have any advice on this?

Randy, hope you got my PM. It shows that it wasn't sent and I've been having trouble sending messages.

The subframe is ready to go on the car and all the parts are in hand. I should have some new photos when the subframe is put on the car.

Thanks for checking.......
