General Discussion / Highly Documented Resto, Reference Quality-My youknowhat 69 Z

« on: November 09, 2016, 03:02:41 AM »

Reference quality on how NOT to restore-No disc brake medallion on brake pedal, no clock w U17...and that was at a glance.
For that kind of money...better keep comments to myself. No disrespect if it is a member's car, but there are several egregious errors to dispell the claim.

Originality / Trunk Paint Curiosity

« on: October 27, 2016, 02:08:59 AM »

Original paint. Looks like it has painted with the gun twice? 2 layers and the drip runs would suggest the lid was painted upside down off the car or the runs occurred after lid was closed? 1st pic is underside of lid near latch. 2nd pic shows hinge area detail.

Looking for a good picture of a power steering pump showing how the return line on the back of the pump is routed? Can't find a picture on this site.

Garage Talk / Looking for transport from out West to the Midwest

« on: September 21, 2016, 02:30:38 PM »

Anyone heading East? I found a fuel line for my car .  Need to figure out how to get it here . I am in no hurry, but would like to have a plan together soon. I realize that it can be bent in half, but my metallurgy experience tells me not to disturb molecules on old metal because fatigue resistance is weakened. I also know some have used Greyhound. I would like to explore 1st the relay transport from members though. PM if you can help or have a plan. Thanks CRG.

Research Topics & Reports / First Gen Camaro radiator dates

« on: July 13, 2016, 01:32:51 AM »

Cook and I tried to learn something about dating of 1969 radiators over on another site, but all we got was insulted by an arrogant member.
What started the debate was a 69 Z radiator with a 'K' date. A radiator dated 'K'  was said to be an October radiator by one and November by another. When a 'M' dated radiator picture was produced, the November guy insisted he was still right and insisted that 'I" was used for September and he had 2 70 radiators as proof that 'I' was used.
Are there any 'I' dated radiators out there to prove that letter was used on 69 radiators?
Anyone here have a 70 radiator with an 'I' date?
Can it be said that the 'M' dated example is proof that an 'I ' was not used in at least 69?

Should have said Kentucky...that is where Hebron is located, just over the river.

This reminds me of a guy that came into the Speed Shop I worked at as a teen. I can't remember what part he needed, but I had to ask what model car he had. His reply was, "Novelle"?! Novelle, I replied back in disbelief, there is no such thing. Finally, out of curiosity, I went out to the parking lot and saw this Nova with Chevelle emblem grafted to it spelling, you guessed it, Novelle?
