I started this at the point you begin to see the contruction of the 69 TA car... in the back ground the guy on the right is splitting the fender to hand flare it...
Later it shows him with a hammer and dolly stretching the metal out.
another shot shows the end of the drivers door with the hole for air to go through and cool the rear brakes...

Block on ebay.
I have photos saved stamp looks good- head removed

I pulled a fiberglass mold from the bottom and then made a relief and bonded it to the bottom of std WIX oil filter.
I have not finish painted it as of yet.

The 69 Tire pressure decals have been a pet peeve of mine as none were on the correct material or correct printing.
IMHO  - ECS has produced a great repro on the correct substrate -metalized paper - (beer bottle label stock)
I ordered a few DX's and today based on the DX ordered a few DW's.
First photo is of the product I received.   
Second is their comparison of an original vs theirs vs what is typically available.

Anyone know the car?
How much restoration?
Int appears original and the stripe on the pass side has mismatched stencil application -makes it original appearing anyone know if the car was completely restored or ? ? ?
However the fenders appear like there is just too much paint on them inside the engine compartment. PLus the firewall and PTB stamps are too uniform

Does the edge of the upper rear deluxe panel wrap around the pinch weld in the door jamb with the trim pushed over it LIKE the std interior rear panels?

OR is it supposed to be wrapped around the panel and glued down? 

Reason I ask is the repro Al Knoch rear panels have the vinyl wrapped around the edge and glued down,v not loose to fit around the pinchweld.

When I purchased my 67 Z a few weeks ago, along with it came documentation relative to a #8-cylinder plug fouling issue. This information came in the form of field product reports. Basically, if a customer vehicle was having an issue and the dealer couldn't resolve it, Chevrolet would dispatch a Field Service Engineer (FSE) to the dealer. Once the FSE assessed the situation and fixed or gathered data to supply the product engineering team (to root-cause the issue and formulate a fix) they would write a detailed report. These reports have the dealer, VIN and typically engine build stamp information. Additionally, it will document past work performed and what was done to the vehicle while the FSE was there. Lots of good information.
I have reports covering 7 VINs. All of them are on 68 Z28s. I would like to see if any of these vehicles still exist and if so, I will supply a copy of the information (at no cost) to the vehicle owner ONLY. I hate to be so tight with this information but there is so much abuse these days, I cannot provide to just anyone. So, if you have one of the VINs listed below, I would like to set-up a Zoom (or Facetime) meeting and have you show:
- Vehicle title in your name.
- Your driver license
These VINs are the only ones I have; I have no other documentation to share.

Here are some shots of the firewall on the pacer I am doing for Bergy - Bruce. It's a L78 M22 3.73  endura bumper pacer bought new in Ct. and drag raced early in it's life.
This is going to go together quickly, as the engine trans subframe rear end, top frame, dash cluster, glass mechanisms and etc are restored and ready to go - I believe he has the seats covered as well.

IIRC the summary in the description is Pretty Good however !!! Buyer beware!!!

Ran across this and thought some might be interested...

Saw this over on the NCRS discussion boards -

Where would we be without John's foresight and knowledge as well as his willingness to share his insight wit the rest of us?
I am forever indebted to John!

If not mistaken there was at least one COPO with N66, the Daytona Yellow car which Perham (sp) owns(ed).
Does anyone know if they had SS centers or something different?

No specific car - It just came popped in my head, were all the swapped 68 L72 short block's CE's?
Or as just dawned on me, there could have been 68 L72 short blocks with production 68 L72 codes correct?
Or perhaps there was a list of every assembly stamp for swaps for warranty purposes and I am spinning my wheels over nothing?

Just thinking - Has a 68 Yenko ever been found with another block with a 68 L72 suffix, like a caprice or biscayne suffix on the block in the car?

Has anyone tried Fairchild's door surrounds and roof rails?
They advertise many latex offerings was wondering were they OEM profile/construction.

Door surrounds appear to have the metal plates in the ends.

I ran across this supplier of Mustang - restoration parts

Also apparently they are having the correct brown paperbacked Tar board manufactured for them and die cutting it in house.

We acquired this press kit a number of years ago, it was with a good deal of late 50's through Early 70's European Sports car mostly Porsche factory literature and PCA literature . It is one piece from a press kit released by Ford dated 3/10/66 - Includes Ken Miles, Lloyd Ruby, Dan Gurney

I am looking for some photos of original cars - unrestored - of the rear frame rails and trunk drops rear inner tailpan area, for the sealers  and amount of overspray on the galvanized finish of the trunk drops and rear inner tailpan?

And also overspray paint coverage of the lower rockers, which I believe is better than on the average car because the overspray on the under side floors of pace cars is WELL above that on even a late march White coupe. 

Thought some of you might be interested in the Vette my brother and I just bought.
In the NCRS it is generally understood that Black was not available from 1970-1976, the old thoughts were there were ZERO cars painted black, that has been revised SLIGHTLY in the last 15 years... after 2 original paint documented 1972's were presented and then in 2018 the 71 LS5 was brought to light - I have shown the docs to the C3 National Team leader and have been assured there is more than enough documentation for the car to be shown in Black without fear of paint deductions.

71 LT1 ordered and delivered in Black - nearly 20 letters back and forth to GM Overseas distribution regarding the car, paint, the GM strike, car delivery, special paint price, etc.
42k miles original paint.
As of today there are only (2) 1971 and (2) 1972 Corvettes which are documented as being delivered from the factory Black.

FWIW this is the type of docs which are required by the NCRS to show a 70-76 vette painted black
without a total paint deduction for wrong color.

This engine is in a Chevrolet Cameo Pickup truck in Colorado, I took a photo a few years ago when we bought a 63 Z06 from the man. Engine has been in the Cameo for 30-40 years. 
If anyone owns the car I feel certain the engine could be acquired.

GAA auto auctions sold for 92.5k - if everything checked out the car appears to be well bought... anyone have any info?
