Sears, some marine stores, bicycle stores and wood working stores.

Boeshield is great stuff. I couldn't find it locally so I ordered it direct.

www.boeshield.com

Re: Restore original parts or leave them alone?
 

Boeshield can be bought now at SEARS Tool Depts. I also suggest looking at Boaters Discount World. You could also do a GOOGLE search. I have seen a wide range of prices, so look around.
Jack Seymour is a fellow Carlisle 2nd Gen LEGENDS judge, and the owner of the 70 H.O. Z-28 Survivor refered to above.
Jack has photo documented his 70 UNMOLESTED SURVIVOR better than any other 70 I know of. Not sure what to use for search terms on this site or over at www.nastyz28.com, but MANY pics have been posted.......
I will post a few below and hopefully Jack will chime in.

Jack, I love you man!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boeshield is awesome stuff. Here are some of the results from my old survivor Boss 351. Nothing painted just cleaned and treated.

Nice pictures Chuck https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Restore original parts or leave them alone?
 

Chuck...I gotta say thanks for the text and highlighting in the pics you posted. You have posted similar pics in the past and it really is nice to have someone taking the time to record this kind of stuff for future reference.

Re: Restore original parts or leave them alone?
 

What we did on the black 69 Z was to use the safest rust remover if the part had any rust then used cosmoline spray after.
The engine compartment had been touched up over the years and I used enamel reducer to take off the "new" paint without hurting the orignal paint.
If a nut or bolt was painted or was corroded and should not have been I took only one out at a time and soaked it in enamel reducer or safest rust remover and then coated it in cosmoline and re-installed it.
The result has been an engine compartment and chassis that is original... IMHO it looks great.
I am really interested in duplicating the appearance on the GTO I am restoring... I do not want a PLASTIC show car, I want one that looks like it just came off of the Assm line, with imperfections like runs, drips, scratches, and etc!

I will second that. Chuck has spent hundreds of hours doing this and seldom gets enough credit for his efforts. I know that I use his photos as often as I can and he is doing what I have always wanted to do but never took the time. Thanks Chuck!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

The best part is the photo editing - otherwise I wouldn't know all of the details that made the photo worth taking in the first place, ie; a pointed bolt w/out threads to the end vs. one that is. Cool stuff!

Re: Restore original parts or leave them alone?
 

I thought I posted a before cleaning and Boeshield pic.
