I have just finished a 69 Cortez Silver 427 SS/RS Camaro. It's a beauty.  Anybody tell me where the best place is on the internet or otherwise to offer it for sale.  Need to find someone who will treat it with respect knowing what they have purchased.  Thanks for any advice.

I need to purchase an intake manifold for a 1969 427 oval port.  Having trouble finding one. Anyone have an idea where should I search for an original or should I just go with aftermarket, and if so, any advice on what to go with?
Thanks.

Somebody help.  My 69 S.S. Big block is in the paint shop and the painter is wanting to know the answers to 2 questions.  Hope somebody can help.
1. Is the hockey stick stripe high gloss black or semi gloss?
2. Is the rear of the car below the trunk lid semi gloss or flat black?

Thanks much for you help.

Restoration / Painting advice

« on: May 09, 2007, 01:21:53 AM »

I have a 69 SS which is now painted Lemans Blue.  I am having it returned to its original color- Cortez Silver.  This is my first camaro after many corvettes and really do't think i've seen a Cortez Silver car.  A few question for someone who knows Camaros.
1. Does Cortez Silver paint have any metalic in it?
2. After base coat, how many coats of clear is advised?
Thanks for your help!

General Discussion / Disc Brakes Opinions

I need some advice on Disc Brakes for a 69 Camaro.  It has factory Disc but I need to have an updated system.  What would be the best for my Camaro.  I will be using it for street driving only,but it has a strong motor and needs to have good stopping power.  Thanks for any help you might give.
