reproduction body or other orginal body
« on: February 18, 2025, 10:40:42 PM »
Hey guys and gals, I'm needing to know what you think I  should do. I have a 1968 Z/28 with lots of options and all orginal numbers with paper work and protecto plate. The body is so bad that I would have to change nearly every part. Do I buy a repo
body or rebuild this one or I also have a 68 body that has NO rust. What do you think?  Thanks for you input. Gary


The good body is about 4 months different in build date.

Can you do most of the rust work?

Some pictures would be helpful. The repop bodys arer't exact. Using the rust free body would meen changing VINs....maybe. Maybe grafting the 2 together might be an option. I would try to retain as much of the original car as possible. But then again, I live in southern Arizona & don't really see these problems...Joe

yes I can do the rust work. Not much of the body can be used. Thanks for your input Gary
