Looks good,but that car deserves real molded headrests,not cheesey covers that stand out a mile away.

X2!!!! Everything looks fantastic, tight, and oem....something that is extremely rare to see. It's near impossible to find parchment headrests that need nothing, so the next best thing is find another color and dye them. Done this before with headrests, arm rests, and pads. '69 only color, and '69 headrests are different than the later versions, so very tough to source.

Maybe I can find a couple of good used white headrest and dye them. They do have them new in black only.

Car is still coming along. I took it to the alignment shop hoping things wouldn't be to bad and they weren't. But, after two fellows looked the car over throughly - I ask them to - I do need the left upper ball joint. So that is next on my list to do. And they said there is a slight bit of play in the steering box - but that I would probably never notice it. Car did get a bath - and is looking much better - I even waxed the car after this picture was taken. On another note - transmission up shifts at very low rpm's. With mu foot in it, it up shifts at 3,800 to 4,000 rpm's. I'm not sure about that. Do I need a new governor - need to modify my governor - or is something else the problem?

Change springs and weights in the governor. You can buy a kit with springs and weights to adjust it. I had the TH400 in my brother's '70 Z28 shifting at 7000 RPMs at WOT. He made me change it to 6500. It was a lot more fun the way I had it.

I got the new Moog ball joint put in today - so it will be off to the alignment shop as soon as I can now.

Good to hear. You have it cleaned up and looking REALLY nice now and you can enjoy driving it once it is aligned.

I did get the car aligned and was starting to drive it a little. But now the transmission has to be rebuilt. It had been working great, but the other day when I put it into gear, it took 10 or 12 seconds for it to engage. So the transmission will come out and be rebuilt. Always something with this car .... lol
