Re: Ouch, my poor Z28
Very nice Tim! Congrats.
Was the car painted from the doors forward?

Re: Ouch, my poor Z28
Yes, the doors were painted. The passenger door had minor damage to it from where the fender interfered with it in the accident.
I thought about painting the rear of the car, but the paint was always very nice, so both the shop and I felt it wasn’t necessary. All in all, the car didn't need much, but we did a few things to bring it up a notch including putting a thin bit of foam in the original drivers seat to raise it from years of being used, and replacing the windshield with a dated piece.

Re: Ouch, my poor Z28
Tim, looks like the shop does quality work and they know how to work on a classic to bring it back up to or above pre-collision standards. Roger

Re: Ouch, my poor Z28
Just a quick update on the white Z28 after my visit today. The shop is very close to wrapping things up, the wheel alignment is the last thing to do along with some final items like under hood insulation. The weather was horrible all last week and they didn’t want to take it to the alignment shop in the rain.
With all the chrome and trim items on, the front end really looks great. I’m extremly happy with the work. At the time of the accident, I didn’t think it would ever be repaired and back on the road, but it’s nearly ready to go. I’ll take some final pictures next week when I pick it up.

Re: Ouch, my poor Z28
I read where you mentioned the underhood insulation.
Curious if you were able to save the ORIGINAL hood pad, or was it broken/damaged in the accident. I sell and distribute a 70-74 Camaro, reproduction hood insulation pad, that is very similar to your original. Contact my Email at [email protected] if you need the replacement.

Re: Ouch, my poor Z28
Tim - not sure how to approach this potentially sensitive subject (and moderators feel free to edit my controversial comments), but we have taken a poll (secret) and have determined that we are going to need to see some seriously detailed (non-phone camera) photographs of your "new" baby <span style="color: #FF0000"><span style="font-size: 26pt">ASAP!</span> </span> [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
And further more (please insert "real" between the words "without" and "pics"  ....
