Originality / Re: Under-Dash Heater Box

Rustoleum makes a textured black paint as well. Seems more like the original finish. But and a big but is how the paint is applied. Spray distance seems to matter for the textured paint

Issue that I have with a gas tax is that we already subsidize electric vehicles. Increasing the gas tax for road improvements would subsidize electric cars even more. Better way would be based on usage or miles driven if that could be accomplished. Last political comment or economic comment I will make

For New York - it is the expiration date. So my 68 has a license plate with a 69 sticker to be correct. But lots of people here use the sticker with the year of the car. Same with the inspection sticker

Thanks - Trying to find out more about the 69 Pace Cars used in these races. Great info that this car paced the race before the Indy 500.

Thanks for posting. Tried the direct link without any luck. Will have to spend some time on their Facebook page. The St Jovite Pace Car looks to have plate # SJ or 5J 7306.

need to know what year you are restoring as there are differences in the finish between years

Sorry to hear about the posts being removed. I have volunteered to help the ACA plan for their special Pace Car and LE display at the nationals. Would like to get some of the NASCAR Pace Cars into the display. If you know of any of the owners please let them know and have them contact me. Show is June 21 - 23. Thanks

Restoration / Re: Dash suede paint

« on: January 25, 2018, 04:58:57 PM »

SEM makes a textured paint as does Rustoleum in spray cans. If you experiment with the distance that you are spraying I think you can replicate the suede finish. I used it on the heater under the dash and thought it came out fine. Heater also receives the suede paint. Trying to keep my original dash paint though.

I also encountered a couple of questionable NCRS reports.  On  one car, the dealer on the NCRS form did not match the dealer on the Protecto-Plate. On the other car, the dealer was given as being 125 miles away from the original owner. Car with owner history, no paperwork.

There was a guy on the Camaro Pace cars web site that seemed to have lots of photos or knew where to look.  You could always try contacting the track or the sponsors of the race and see what they have in their archives
