It's great to see a site dedicated to the 1969 LM1 Camaro.

Mike

Didn't know if this LM1 site has been dicussed here or not.

Great find on your car ! It has to be one of one made. Lucas restorations looks like a first class shop to restore your rare piece. Keep us at CRG informed on the progress.

Painted the column today with the SEM Trim Black #39143 . It turned out great!. Thanks for the info everyone at CRG.

As far as cleaning goes I think a parts tumbler from Eastwood or Harbor Freight would work. You just need to choose the right media to use with it and keep an eye on them. Don't let them run to long.

Does anyone know who will rebuild 69 front calipers? I want to use the originals on the car

Thanks CRG

Mike

68Zproject, what cam does your engine have?

Mike

Thanks everyone with CRG. I'm on the hunt for SEM paint.

Mike

Thanks for the reply's . I guess the Krylon 1613 Semi Flat black would work?

Mike

I was wondering the same thing about the 30 30 cam power curve. It seems like it's more of a higher RPM cam. With today's technology from the cam grinders it seems like there would be a better performing cam than the 30 30, a cam that would work through the entire power range and you could still turn 8 grand++. I know this is diiferent for every trans and rearend combo out there though.

Only my 2 cent's

I am at a point on my car that I need to paint the stering column. It is a standard black interior car. I need to paint this because of key's rubbing the column. What I neeed to know is, is this Gloss Black , Semi Gloss ? Any paint codes for this PPG, Sherwin Williams, Krylon?  Can someone help me out on this?

Thanks CRG

I found some paint marks on my 69 Z/28 when I was taking it apart also. Yellow and White on the rotors. Orange on the calipers, and yellow and white on the centerlink and idler arm. This car has never been apart that I can see.

Mike

JL8 Dale & Stillwater Camaro, Thanks for the info. That's the way the 1969 Assembly Instruction Manual shows them also.

Mike

I was installing the lower contorl arm on my 69 and wondered which way the nuts need to face towards the front on the car. I was looking at the AIM ( 3A1 & 3A2 ) for the 69 model and it shows the bolts being installed in opposite each other. Is this correct? I can't remember I took the car apart a year and a half ago. Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks CRG.
