Restoration / Re: Rust Remover

« on: January 10, 2023, 01:03:12 AM »

Evaporust will get rid of the rust for sure but neutralizing it will be an issue.  Paint won't like sticking to the residue.  I would assume it will need a thorough rinsing before using any paint covering. You didn't ask, but if you have rust holes in the trunk floor then it's basically compromised and not very structurally safe if anything bad (accident) would happen.  I would tap around those holes with a hammer to see how sound the metal is. 

Personally, I'd replace the trunk floor if you have the ability to do it or have a pro do it..($).

By the way, I used POR-15 and it worked well.

Good luck to ya.

Pretty sure you can cut off 1/2” off each end with a dremel tool.  Just make sure the end that goes into the speedometer matches what you have originally.  A friend of mine with a 71 Corvette did that and it worked.  He cut most off the cable closest to the trans.
Good luck!

As I mentioned in your thread at the Camaros.net site - without the numbers matching drivetrain - especially the 302 engine - the car is a Z28 without its real meaning.

I don't own a Z, but to me - the engine is what makes the Z28.

Plus that car would take $$$$$ to make it a decent driver.

Restoration / 69 SS L48 Fuel Lines

« on: January 05, 2023, 01:36:34 PM »

If someone has an original L48 car with the fuel lines from the fuel pump to the filter / carb I'd really appreciate it.  I installed new lines and they are different from what I originally installed.  Views near / around the fuel pump would be great....thanks!

Not impressed with the sellers feedback score also.....66%.  Not stellar by any means.

If I were them, they should heed your advice.  That car is nothing but a mess, heading to a courtroom for sure.

Sunnava.....!!! 
Wow - thought I've seen it all.....the bottom one (124379N567808) is an obvious fake compared to the real deal on top.

I don't think there's anyone who could have spotted this.  If I walked up to this car and looked at the vin - no way in hell I would have figured the tag to be butchered. 

Unbelievable.

Great catch William. 

I'm just dumbfounded.

The new / transistorized voltage regulators show hardly any movement (for information's sake).

Rebody or junk it.  Shame ------- super neat car - It's just waaaayyyyy too far gone IMO.
This the kind of car that you do for the love of it.  Nothing else.

Is that the correct tailpipe?  Never focused on single exhaust.  Neat car though.
