My '69 Z28 Find

[Mike]

Great car Dan....enjoy it! I had to do a double take when I first saw your photos because there is almost an exact duplicate of your car in the Syracuse area. Original owner still owns it and is going to restore it some day, one of those deals.

For inquiring minds, my early 68 dated Z had a plastic cap. Been swamped at work, new job, but will try for a photo tomorrow.

Thanks again for the compliments. Mike - I'd love to see some photos of that car. Could you email me some? Thanks buddy.

The control arm shafts yes, done in car, but otherwise there is no white paint. overspray from the job is evident and seen in the photo.

Thanks Dan, I can't wait to see the engine compartment after cleaning. What a great car!!!

BTW, I believe that is the original assembly line cap as the later ones had an additional molded ring around that center relief hole opening.

Here's a shot of a couple caps from the garage. Newer style replacement cap on left, original assembly line piece on right.
