« on: November 08, 2007, 07:37:01 PM »

I have a all correct 1968 Z28 and was wondering what guys would think of painted body colour wheels on it. I have the original DF rallies with Wide-Tread GTs on the car now but love the look of body colour painted wheels with poverty hub caps. Thoughts please.

Restoration / Pitman armlength compared to idler arm

« on: October 18, 2007, 11:35:33 AM »

I am helping a guy put together a front end on a 68 camaro. Does  the pitman arm length have to be the same as the idler arm length?He wants to use the stock 5.25 inch idler and step up to a 5.8 inch pitman to get a quicker ratio steering. Will it work as I see Ricks first gen only sells one idler arm but he has 2 different size pitman arms.

Decoding/Numbers / Work order numbers

« on: October 10, 2007, 11:02:27 PM »

I have a 1968 Z28 built in L.A. My question is the work order # on the trim tag is S355 which is the February 19   and the 355th body started on that date. The car is a 02E car which would be the last week  of February that year which happens to be Sunday the 29th of February being it the only day of the fifth month.Did it take a week to build these cars?  I realize the work order #s were made up a couple days ahead of being attached to the body in the L.A. Plant. Any one else with a LA built car with the work order # on the trim tag a week away from the date code on the tag?

I was wondering if any of the other members on this site have ever been at swap meets in the L.A .Orance County have ever seen any old  license plate frames from Selman Chevrolet? I have a 68 Z from the dealership and when I purchased the car it had a license plate frame that was broken into  pieces down inside the left quarter panel. the dealership is in Orange california today still but do not have any for sale or available.I would be more than happy to pay anyone that was able to locate me one or two of them. I am also wondering if the dealership installed thier nameplates on the rear panel back.
