cook--dw. After talking to you, and realizing, that this might just be the car you looked at, 30yrs ago when it was for sale, and now is in the same town as you.

Restoration / NOS paint
« on: December 18, 2021, 08:09:43 PM »
I'm getting closer to painting my camaro. This car came with NOS front fenders, upper and lower valance, and lower fender extensions. some still have the GM stickers on them. question is. do they stay black, or paint same color as the car? I noticed, Chicks yellow Z28, the inside of the fenders where painted yellow, when the car was painted.

Restoration / Re: Introducing the "GILMORE" 1968 Z28
« on: December 16, 2021, 09:34:53 PM »The Drive shaft really could have used a new welded tube to present a bare finish that would be NEW in appearance, I chose the cheaper route of Bomb can trickery. After the evapo rust attempt to de-rust the shaft, I needed to apply a epoxy primer then a sandable filler primer, top coated by spray can alum- silver, I simulated the tube seam weld by applying a coating of Stove Bright® High Temp Paint 6197 Moss Green metallic and then masking the Simulated Weld with 1/8” masking tape. I was able to clean up the welded ends with the ears and just cleared the ends to add detail as they were treated by the evapo rust and looked great. I top coated the shaft and ends with a spray bomb can semi gloss Clear to blend everything together. Then using testors model enamel paints I added the broadcast ID stripes (White-Orange) per the normative practice for my 'engine and trans' combination. My drive shaft had very “non Rusted" areas were the stripe paint was but very very little was found during evapo rusting. I bought quality Dana Spicer U joints and studied WEBER (Utah) automotive college on line prop shaft rebuilding videos and pressed out and in my own u joints and selective clips. I did not op for a shop overhaul and wonder how it will perform?
Looks awesome! that's probably be the way I do it. Thanks!

Are you happy with the quality of the glass? Fit, etc.

I think Darrell meant here.
That's a Super Meticulous build!!! I'm going to build it as a "Day 2" build, (get it close, so the next owner) can Try to finish it like Chick"s car. (If possible)! but want to get major parts as correct as possible. It has all orginal drivetrain, drive shaft. booster, master cylinder, with valves, 4 piston calipers, seats, console.
