Restoration / what engine motor mount did you use on z28

« on: April 01, 2013, 02:58:08 AM »

Getting parts ready to install engine and noticed the mounts on engine were the original non locking ones. One had a crack in rubber so I figured to get a new set. Is it a good idea to switch to the locking ones? I think the wider one was the cracked one.
Thanks

I have noticed some covers have a notch out of one side. Even seen them called nos. My original doesn't have the notch. Where did the notched ones come from? Are the repops accurate?

Does anyone know how the bolts that hold the s shaped steering arm to the spindle and the short fat  bolt that holds the backing plate to the spindle should be finished? Saw a picture that has me doubting what I did
Thank you

Been watching ebay for the correct date code for my z.  Today one appears that i haven't seen before, date of 0921. Stamp looks fat but never seen one with the 0 before the   9.   never seen a 21 either. Something fishy?

My fan has a tight spot in it. Anyone try and get their originals rebuilt? I looked to replace it and the new ones don't look right. Original looks like its riveted together

I don't think i have seen this in person. Is it a cross between tan and gold? Metallic? Found a base car that was champagne and now another color.  I like to see the original color on a car just not sure about thus one

« on: December 10, 2012, 06:20:14 PM »

Didn't have any luck searching for this. What color should this bracket that holds the booster hose on the intake be? Mine is bare, Jerrys book says natural or silver cadium dichromate. If mine was plated its gone

Eastwood  calls their satin 2k chassis paint 60-70% gloss. The gloss a 80. Jerrys book said 30% for subframe, floors and core support. Anyone used Eastwood satin and is it too much? I can get ppg also. Thanks  for the input

Originality / 1969 Z28 white cowl

« on: October 08, 2012, 01:06:15 AM »

Had several requests for pictures of my white cowl.  I pulled the cover off and it is really painted nice underneath. I just noticed it looks like the start of one of the stripes at the top. Someone painted the firewall with a brush so the line from the black to the white isnt acurate
