Default Re: 1969 Z28 Restoration

I have to say there are some pretty interesting and funny comments in this thread. First of all the car is absolutely gorgeous!!! I applaud you for not adding the cowl hood and spoilers. Most people (those who THINK they know it all) would've added those items and say all '69 Zs would/should have them. I love the "natural look" of the early cars with the flat hoods---very unassuming. Second, back on page 6 some funny quotes were made concerning aftermarket items. Truthfully, I think I agree for the most part---usually the makers think "close is good enough" AND the makers are NOT the installers and couldn't give a crap whether the stuff fits or not. There are a few private guys making parts and since those parts aren't mass produced and since those guys ARE the installers THOSE PARTS FIT!!! Some of the repro stuff is in it's third and later generation of production which sometimes helps and sometimes doesn't.
GREAT CAR!!! Congratulations!!!
