1969 Z28 Restoration
William (10/10RSZ) and I picked this car up from Tony Nausieda (SCUNCIO) a while back… We are finally getting around to getting it well on the way to being completed.
Here are a few details… 1969 Z28 Lemans Blue and Black Early Production 10D Non style trim, Rear antenna, console, 51 k miles, Born with DZ Engine M20 Trans and BV 4.10 rear, original interior except package tray and carpet and all glass except front. 2 owner car before restoration began. 2nd owner continues to be employed as a mechanic at the same Ford Dealership since he bought it in 1970. (Ford motor Credit financed the car) After running into a ditch in 1973 he purchased a grille, Lower Valence and then parked it in his garage. Coming out of the hibernation…   Ordered with Rear Ant and Spoiler… The Ant option took precedence so when the car came in the owner had the dealer add a spoiler.   Engine Shot  302 on the block under the remnants of orange paint  Firewall with White overspray  There is an X 7 in the picture… look very carefully.  Original Paint still on Wiper Cowl Grille  Note the terrible tape job plus the multicolor paint “blob” where the panel was hung for painting.  Original 4053 DZ carb.  Original Baseplate  BV 4.10 rear  8H21 480 Distributor  4 of 5 original AD wheels all dated Sept 20  US stamped 309 MC  216 th day 1968 distribution block  Steering box  Original door panels  Dated 9-19-68  Rear quarter interior panel  Dated 9-4-68  2 piece front kick panels  Original Interior  Getting ready for paint…  Painted  Fresh Paint Pass Door  Pass Door water sanded and polished  Cut and buffed  Driver Side  Laying out the stripes  Cowl/Firewall whiteout Overspray  She is striped!

Re: 1969 Z28 Restoration
Making the body as slick as possible is what I enjoy... I can look at a mirror like reflection in paint for hours on end...

Re: 1969 Z28 Restoration
By any chance did you get a dusk blue endura bumper with the car? (It's a long story)
