Restoration / Re: Road Noise

« on: June 19, 2010, 02:35:43 AM »

 I picked up the rolls from Summit Racing. I did my Jeep about 4 years ago so the price has probably gone up, but it does work well. If you put it in on a hot day you can lay it out in the sun and it will kind of soften up. Then whey you lay the roll where you want it you can kind of bend it into the shape you need and mark it with a Sharpie then take it out the cut and trim. In my Jeep with removing the seats, carpet and console and putting it all back together it took a good 6 or 7 hours going slow and easy. 18X32 is the only size I seen when I bought mine.

 I put Dynamat in my 03 Jeep Wrangler and it did make a huge difference in sound and heat in the floors. You can buy rolls of it not pre-cut and it is a lot less expensive. When I did my Jeep it was like $29.00 a roll and it took 3 rolls, it cuts with sharp sheers or scissors.

Dyno-matt which is a noise suppressor will help. Goes under your carpet and cannot be seen, it's not original though. Undercoating will help. Other than those I don't know what to suggest.

 That's a lot of money, but for a car with that history I don't feel it's out of line. Might be hard to get in this economy though. I wonder what a Richard Petty car, or Mark Donohue, car from the same era would bring?

 My O4A 68 Z/28 bell housing looks just like the one in the pictures above. I don't know about matching the markings on the trans. I will try to check tomorrow or Friday and look to see what I can find.

SS375HP  thanks for the link, that is a Gorgeous car. The references will be a huge help, and helps keep the excitement going. It will be a long haul to get it restored but I do plan on taking my time and doing the best I can find.
thanks again.

General Discussion / Re: Did ALL 69' R/S Z/28's have to have the X33 code? Cowl Hood

« on: April 13, 2010, 03:20:32 AM »

SO ggtsvnv...So now I know that all X33's {norwood} cars would need the X33 to be an R/S. But I am a little confused. So are you saying that an LA built COULD be an R/S? The guy that gave me the info said that ONLY X33 cars could be R/S period and all others were fake. But there is no X33 out of LA. What's it called in LA? I know when the X codes started. So could there be some R/S out of LA before the X codes?

I just knew that I have seen LA built cars with the R/S option that seemed to be original and factory. .....Danny

  Yes that is what I'm saying, like John stated L.A. didn't use X codes ,so you could have a R/S Z/28 from L.A. or Norwood before the use of X codes. Hope it helps

I was just told that there is NO X77 R/S Z/28's. And that all real R/S Z/28's had to have the X33 code??? And if I see an X77 car with that option it is fake. What the heck, did I not know this, or did I forget this info. Is this guy wrong? Am I losing it?

X77 cannot be an RS. All RS cars included the Z21 style trim on the exterior of the car. X77 didn't include the style trim, it was the base coup like X44. So yes all real RS Z/28's in 69 had to be X33's unless they were LA built, or built before the X codes went into use.

 Thanks for everyone's comments. I was not sure about the thermostat housing being original to the car but I wanted to photo everything I had for reference. Nice to know about the bracket for the smog pump, I didn't think it looked right for the alternator but it was all bolted together so I left it that way.

 68Zproject,  Unfortunately it doesn't have the original engine, it is the one missing piece. So I will be looking for date code correct engine parts for it. The story I was told was that the car was street raced in the 70's and the original engine was blown up then. I do however have the contact name of the second owner who was the person who blew up the engine so maybe if I'm real lucky he will have some info of its where abouts. However since the car was taken off the road in 1979 when the engine was blown I don't have a lot of hope.

Sonet thanks and I will be in touch because I want this car as correct as I can get it.

  I got my 1968 Z/28 home that I bought in December. It has been a long time coming but it is home! I know I got a project on my hands but I have always wanted a La Mans blue 68 or 69 Z/28.  Enjoy the link! to the photos.

Originality / Re: 1968 L-6 250 CI fender emblem

« on: February 15, 2010, 04:54:01 AM »

  My reference is the "1967-1968 Camaro Reference Book" by John R. Hooper. I also owned a 68 250 powerglide car that I bought from the original owner in the mid 70's and it had them.

Hope it helps.

 It goes the same place as the 327 emblem on the front fenders about 1/2 way between the bumper and top of the fender.
