Re: ZL 1 #36
Here is my .02 cents,
How about getting a shot at the body plugs being placed in upside down, the rear trunk drop offs not having the holes in them and those swaybar brackets don't look right to me....and aleast you could place AD stickers on the backing plates correctly. I can only imagine what else could be wrong. If I know the restorer right, I bet the tire hold down stud could hold down 2 rims and tires. Just my thoughts.....  The "MOF"

Re: ZL 1 #36
No Brian, he got the tire hold down hook right on this one, but there was plenty of other things wrong.... Some restorers insist on doing things "their way" instead of the way that GM built the car. Alot of people like their cars done this way. It's totally up to them, but don't bring them to an event like this, where the cars are supposed to be done as they were at the factory, and expect to do well. It is my understanding, that the cars are judged for factory correctness, not what someone imagines them to look like. Maybe the owner of this car should have done his homework before placing this car in a shop for restoration,
if he was after a factory correct restoration.

Re: ZL 1 #36
The lower control arm bolts to the subframe are installed with the nut to the front rather than toward the rear. Anyone ever see a car with these installed this way from the factory. The reason I ask is that's the way the assembly manual shows the bolts installed.
