When I saw the U73 rear antenna on the order I was wondering about the time frame, but you answered it, I had thought the cut off was in April.

Rally Green with white stripes and endura is a toss up with Lemans blue... both are high impact colors and look awesome on 1969 Z's.

LOVE IT!!!

Paint the traction bars lakewood yellow... they look great peeking out from under the Rally green!!!

This green Z is beautiful...

I love Ralley Green and want a Ralley Green, Torque Thrust, White stripe Yenko with yellow bars peeking out...

IMHO the yellow contrasted with the green looks better than the contrast with the black.

I'm liking the yellow. Might have to pull them off and repaint them. I have decals coming.

Liking the stance on the black 69 as well. Very nice and looking good with those wheels.

Don't know if it has already been pointed out -- but those bars need some wedge help to get the nose up some ... TAZ

You know it. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Those are just bolted up under the springs for now. The J-Bolts and hoops still need to go on there. After seeing them in yellow I'm thinking I'll paint them yellow and then bolt them on.

Matt's car is off the assembly line right after mine. My NOR# is 317XXX. That was when the order was accepted by GM, not when it was built. I am an originality nut, but I love the day2 look. Matts car looks awesome! Rally green is one of my favorite colors!

Anyone have an old Stahl or Moroso tach available for this car?
