General Discussion / Re: - 22

He has a video ive seen where he says that the -22 he writes with wax pencil is his sort of signature on the cars he does. It means nothing other than the car was done by Mr. Autobody. His own personal touch so to speak.

Anyone else getting the "site not secure" messages when logging on?

Something about the site certificate being expired?

On the back valance there is a weldnut on the back side of roll pan. If the weld nut hole is painted over, you can reach reach up between the gas tank and roll pan and feel the weld nut to locate the hole. Tight fit, but doable.
I used a tiny broken drill bit and spun it with fingers to pierce the paint on front side without damaging it. On the front, there is just a hole. Bolt and nut is used to attached the gaurd.

Quote from: 169INDY on October 07, 2026, 02:21:09 PMAre the Holes for the Fronts still in the Front lower valance?

It might just be better to install them-
I vote for install (*opinion)

I personally like the look. They're on my car front and back.

It is my understanding that rear guards came standard on all 69 Z28 and the front guards were an option. The D80 option became standard on Z's as a mid year change. Your car, your preference. Im a purist and prefer factory. Both of those items could be added at dealership later, so adding them isnt like your doing a day 2 modification.. IMHO

BU is a 3.73 gear ratio. Your axle stamp looks authentic to me compared to many confirmed BU BV E axle stamps i have observed along with my own.

Originality / Paint finish for 69 SS hood louvers
August 19, 2026, 01:14:00 PM
I have a pair of assembly line louvers that I will be having re-chromed soon. Hoping someone who has restored them can provide some guidance on the black and silver paint and prep that will need to be applied.

1) Closest match silver and black paint?
2) Surface prep for painting?

I read something here about the argent silver being the closest match for the "stacks"

My theory on posting it is that a little information is better than no information at all. So in that regard it holds value.
