Restoration / Re: Fuel Line Replacement

Last post by 169INDY - November 05, 2025, 11:21:56 PM

This is what we just found out last year single 3/8" Stainless & Steel lines BOTH have the same defect.

It was Impossible to re-bend the SS version, so we unbent to steel one to rebend it to make it fit the pass subframe clip and roll over point

1967 Camaro

I know you asked about 69.

We did NOT have to separate the subframe, it is a Pain and we were working over a in ground Deep Pit so we could attack it from underneath. So Often you need the vehicle Elevated to install lines.

Restoration / Fuel Line Replacement

Last post by camaronut - November 05, 2025, 08:40:12 PM

Looked around and didn't get a great answer to whether or not if it's possible to replace the pre-bent fuel line from the tank to pump on a completed / body-on 69 Camaro.

Has anyone performed this replacement?  If so - any tips?

Thanks!!

Restoration / Orange undercoating on '69 Z28...

Last post by JST69Z28 - November 05, 2025, 07:29:39 PM

Has anyone ever seen orange undercoating on a Camaro?  My '69 was originally a Connecticut car and came to Florida in 1974.  As best I can determine, this orange coating was installed before it came to FL.  The whole underside of the car has it, but it was brushed over with some sort of black coating later, probably to cover it up. It has chipped off everywhere, so you see a lot of orange spots, and I am in the process of trying to remove it.  It's hard to get off.  It has what appears to be a red basecoat, then a thick orange coating after that which is not flexible.  Stripper doesn't get it off, so far I have used a needle scaler and finally sanding.  Attached is a photo of one of the front wheel wells with it partially removed.  Just looking to see if anyone has ever seen it before or has any removal tips.
