Beautiful, perfectly stock, love it....i have mine the same way.....a little dirtier , but the same.....am i to assume youre going to put the correct D90 Hockey stripe on??? i dont know how many SS"s i see with Z/28 ,pace car stripes....I know to each his own, but stock from the factory, is the best way.

As dave69 said, i too worked  aero-space all my life.....and walnut shells are what we used on everything from turbine blades to hyd. cyclinders etc. plus, we had a Vapor Degreaser, and nothing cleans like a vapor degreaser......miss MEK, and Tricholoethylene, Gordon

« on: February 16, 2010, 05:57:34 PM »

thanks, guys....im sure not looking forward to it....but yes youre  right....i would want it to stay all factory......i know its something like 44,737 69 camaros came with a/c that year.....thats not many ....compared to the 243,000 +  cars.....i always think to myself why or whom (dealer) would have ordered  this car......it has a/c,  tilt wheel, rear window de-fogger......but has standard interior with  at least the Z23 special interior group....this car is by the way a SS    L48  thm 350  standard 12 bolt non-posi.........cortez silver black vinyl top, rear spolier.....i guess what i mean is.....the price for the a/c.....could have bought the RS option and deluxe interior......strange how some things work.....but thanks again   Gordon

Maintenance / replacing heater core

« on: February 13, 2010, 04:34:54 AM »

How hard is it to replace the heater core in a 69 factory air car?.......should i just remove the whole system ? and if  i do, i heard the fender has to come off   the system has not worked since 1984.......the compressor is off the dryer etc, etc, so.....is it worth the trouble and $$$$$ money to get it back to factory. thanks any info most appeciated, Gordon
