Title: Trunk Divider 69 Z28
Post by: LM69Z28 on November 08, 2011, 02:16:03 AM

My original divider is nice but was oversprayed with splatter paint related earlier on this forum. Doubtful  it can be cleaned or restored since the cardboard is 41 years old and will not stand up to sanding or lacquer thinner application to remove the overspray. Opinions wanted about who may make the most accurate and best repro divider. An NOS one is probably made of unobtanium!
Thanks for the tips
Enjoy your rides

I think I got one from Rick's and it looked just like the one I took out.

The "genius" that put the one I took out in, put it in backwards and so the slots didn't line up.  He decided that "customizing" it by cutting the correct slots was needed.  Or you could just turn it around.  Geez.  Maybe it was a repop already, no way to know, but the repop looked just like it.

Take a deep breath, try to think clearly, do your research and wait before you change, cut, slice, remove, replace, (re)paint, plate or otherwise destroy something that was original!
Sorry for the lose!
