soonercrew · #1 06-21-2009, 06:18 AM

I have been lurking around this site for some time now... ive spent alot of time reading everyones posts and figured it was about time for me to start one of my own... im currently working on my 1st project... 72 camaro z28... the car is pewter silver w/stand. black interior, all #'s matching... i guess when i say all #'s matching and date correct i mean most! engine, heads, carb., distributor (yes,dist.,which i found was an extremely rare part?), starter, coil, M-22 tranny, rear-end, intake, manifolds, smog system, wheels, valve covers, wiper motor and more that i probably missed... these are the items ive verified... im halfway into the restoration and am already ready to start another!!! although, a few of my good friends who are members of this site and have lots of experience have urged me to go one at a time... yet, i walk into their storage or garage and there are a handful of them...lol... their advice has been: do as i say, not as i do!!! anyways... i will try to take the time this weekend to post some pics of my progress to this point...

Looking at the underside I knew it was an LA car judging by the amount of undercoating. Nice car. About time you posted pics..

no joke! i had a friend looking for a 72z distributor and all he could find (and not even restored!) were 1600-2000!

No LA cars in 72, all were built in Norwood with the red-oxcide.
