General Discussion / 1969 Pace Car

« on: July 03, 2016, 04:14:12 PM »

I recently acquired a 1969 Z11 Pace Car.  The car has been owned by the last owners since "around" 1979.  It was parked in their garage in 2001.  In general the car is rust free except the trunk.  The body has numerous small dings but no significant damage.  The numbers of all components match except the water pump.  I have pulled the motor for a rebuild since the previous owner said it was real tired when parked. 

My question is how much should I do and how much should I keep as a survivor?
     -should I just thoroughly clean the engine bay or paint and restore?
     -body dings?
     -overall paint?
     -trunk rusted out section?
     -gas tank?
     -convertible top?
     -etc

Thanks for any input.
