...and no one has pulled the gas tank so as i understand things...if it was built in Van Nuys, that may be where I find the "build sheet" ?

Well, it was left it was left outside, but in Southern California and North Texas so all is not lost.
I will take and post pictures as I go if it doesnt irritate people...
But...it has a cowl induction hood and in the "plenum" area there is some chalked ?  dates/codes ?
I assume that this is important to myself and potentially some of you...and perhaps linked to the DZ #/VIN
It's dark now but the most obvious mark is a large 10/23 which I would assume is a date ?
I will try and take a picture when it is light enough but I've read enough of the posts to learn that chalk marks may be of importance.
I will slow down the disassembly process if you could let me know what is important to look for as a I go.

Thank you both very much. 
I have looked through the archives and I think 90% of what I need is right here.  I was primarily needing to know "where to start" and in what order to proceed.  Seems like work front to back and document as you go is the order of the day.  After reading through the posts, I wish my father had not disassembled it and let it sit.  I believe it would have been a potential survivor candidate.  As I recall, back in the 80's he determined that it was a late 69 model assembled in Van Nuys.  The first owner evidently put most of the milage on in quarter mile increments

I will take some pictures, it's pretty ugly right now...
Again I appreciate the rapid replies, more questions to follow I am sure.

Greetings,

I have a low milage (74,000) 69 Z28 that my father purchased in 1978.  It has basically sat in a garage or field since purchase.  I finally have the time to begin work on it.  I have owned 4 or 5 69 Camaros and am a competent home mechanic.  I will likely do a "ground up" restoration as the car is very rough right now.  My question is: Is there a good restoration guide/book on the market ?


Thanks.
