Originality / sphare wheel and tire question

« on: February 17, 2009, 01:18:42 PM »

i have what may be a few  dumb questions, on a 1969 Big block SS with a full size sphare:

is the sphare wheel a  YJ?

is it painted just like the ones on the car?

would the tire in the trunk exactly match those on the car?

thanks in advance

Originality / Re: Original shocks off my 69 Z/28

« on: October 10, 2008, 12:23:35 PM »

Don't get the repros.  I got them and the front ones do absolutely nothing.  Every little bump I went over, the front end would bounce up and down 5 or 6 times.  I painted the gas shocks that were on it grey and took off the repros.  I would do as Kurt said for driving the car.  If you're going to show it, you could get away with putting your originals on for short drives.  Unless my repros were some sort of defective example, you would be very unhappy driving your car with them on.

i used repros on my 69 and they worked (and still work) perfectly.  maybe you just had a bad pair.

Originality / 69 L78 radiator question

« on: October 07, 2008, 02:16:12 AM »

i have a 69 L78 4 speed car with a straight neck radiator. I believe the radiator is a 3 row. the core (with out tanks) measures 23" across by 1 3/4 " in width.  the tanks are original with the original tags and date. of course at some time the core was replaced. my questions are
                       1) is  a 3 row core correct?
                       2) are the measurements correct?

       what i am getting at is: I want to have the original style top and bottom channels installed on the core and I want to do it the right the first time. 

                        1) anyone know where to buy the channels?
                        2) how about a good radiator shop to do the job?

                                                                             THANKS IN ADVANCE
