Originality / Trunk Deck - Weather Seal Paint stripe

« on: October 23, 2012, 01:35:37 AM »

This w/e I saw a restored 69 Z-28 and half way from the center towards the passenger side of the trunk he had a red paint stripe on the trunks rubber weather seal about 1/4" wide..Is this a correct detail or just another detail touch by a car guy...He also had the weather seal cut in-line with the red paint stripe.

General Discussion / What DoesThe Term Dry Paint Mean To a Professional Painter

« on: September 17, 2012, 12:30:46 AM »

I have been told by some car show judges that the inside of my doors feel like dry paint. I know they aren't as slick as the body paint since its hard to get into these areas to sand and buff when painting the doors and the jams..So what does this really mean. Is that the paint is not slick or what ?  There is no orange peel and it looks clear and shines..

The paint is a PPG product - base coat clear coat..Any thoughts other than waxing and waxing to correct the feeling like Dry Paint Feel, as if I know what that's supposed to feels like...Any recommendation or products that you would chose over another wax or polish..

General Discussion / RS Front Parking Lights and Trim Rings

« on: June 27, 2012, 10:05:56 PM »

I did a CRG search on this topic and found some helpful information, but did not find the answer to my question...My RS has the chrome trim ring around the front parking lot lights. From the factory how were these two different material assembled..Was it a sonic weld, compression fit or two part epoxy..They will not stay on once removed and reinstalled...

General Discussion / Just Wondering the Number of Z/28 Sold from 1967 thru 1969

« on: June 01, 2012, 12:27:58 PM »

According to (source data from Hot Rod magazine, 1975) artice, it states, the following number of Z/28 were sold...In 1967 (602), 1968 (7,199), and in 1969 (20,302)...For the experts here, does this number look to be correct..The 1967 numbers would seem correct since it was the first year of a new body style. The number of units sold looks relatively low to me based on the total number of Camaro sold in 1968 and 1969.

General Discussion / Does this look to be an original or a restamp block?

« on: May 26, 2012, 12:25:22 AM »

This block is for sale on e-bay.  So my question is, does this look like a factory stamp or restamp...This block was for sale months back and the guy wanted $4,000 for it then, but it did not sell..Its not listed by the same person that had it listed before, but the same area where is was listed before..West Tenn.

General Discussion / Car Bubbles

Anyone from the CRG had any experience or using acar bubbles or capsules as they are called...I was told they do a great good job in protecting your or storing your car over the winter months, even when stored inside...They are not all that expensive and look like they would project your car...I'm qute sure that when the pollen come out they would be worth the investment..
