Holy crap, not even close is right. I have a close up pic of what they should look like but I don't know how to resize it and post it.

Here is a pic of an original bracket off of my 70 Z-28.




Also, I noticed that the car in question had no rear bumper guards and I did not see the cup style bracket that hold the gas pedal studs. The studs seemed to be attached directly to the floor. Take a look at an original bracket:

I am not a 2nd gen z28 expert, but I have seen (and fabricated) plenty of non-original hangers, traction bars, etc., and those pics clearly show the work of a back yard mechanic.

I believe that it is time for the 2 parties to resolve this issue. It is evident that things just do not add up and I for one am pretty convinced about this car.

I really do not think that anymore hashing, bashing and posting is going to help this matter. Let the 2 parties work it out.

A few more misc pics detailing some of the cars issues.....

Rick, Have you drawn a conclusion yet re: originality of Norwood Z-28 trim if sway bar mounts were fabricated...

Chuck,
I just can't put my finger on why the complete drivetrain is Z/28 (except for that obvious stamp). The trim tag build date is within the VIN number range but the body is not Z/28. The floor gas pedal attachment is wrong, the rear swaybar frame mounts are homemade, there are no rear bumper guards. I have a theory but really don't want to post it in fear of it becoming gospel.

The drivetrain points to a Z, but the body does not.

Something is escaping me and I really have to think of what I am missing.

As for the stamp, has anyone figured out why it is wrong besides the 2 missing numbers and possible location? Yes, I do know.

Rick H.

p.s. Chuck, you really need to learn how to resize your pictures, my computer screen isn't wide enough for some of your pics. LOL
