1973 RS/LT/Z28 4spd - Gold/Parchment Restoration
This is my brother's car my dad is restoring and I guess I am going to paint it.
Numbers matching car he bought in the late 80's to replace his 73 LT/Z28 which was bought new at Stott Chevrolet in Tryon NC. - Quain Stott is a current IHRA pro mod guy. (Stott also sponsored Jim Little's ZL1 powered 70 Camaro formerly owned by our own Kim Howie) anyway here are some pics...

I think the same G was found on another 73 F body. I dont know if it was a real real low miles Camaro or a Trans Am. It would be interesting to see if that letter varied based on what was in the rear.

Re: 1973 RS/LT/Z28 4spd - Gold/Parchment Restoration
      The car was VERY solid however two blocked drains caused rust through on the rear of front drivers fender below the lower trim and a half dollar sized hole in the pass rear quarter which turned out to be very thin about 6 inches out so my dad replaced the pass lower rear quarter and trunk drop off. I fabbed a patch for one the fender and welded up holes from an old slide hammer pulling party on the pass door but that is about the extent of the metal work required. It's been mostly just the grunt work, stripping, light blasting, prepping the sheet metal, priming, and blocking... The car is in full prime now and I am going to block it with 320 to make sure it is flat, seam seal it, one coat of epoxy sealer and then base clear.
