Introducing the "GILMORE" 1968 Z28

[169INDY]

Thanks Guys, I appreciate the feedback.

I like to supply "credit" (i.e. acknowledgement)  for the Vendors but forgot that Joe Passed on and left that detail out of the post.

No Judging in this cars future (No events in the PNW), unless I can convince a few friends to fill a Reliable truck eastward to MCACN someday.

Chick PM me your thoughts

862 white plastic Horn relay, Had a spare leftover from the John Pirkle Days.

Quanta Tank replacement, plated orig dated clamp (4th Qtr 1967), repop hose, added anti squeek tar paper (ECS-vendor) and top-spacer (Mcmaster-Carr) & tapes (3M) and foam on the line. (*Orig tank scrapped by previous owner)

More tank.

I have noticed the SPECTRA-QUANTA (Canadian) Tanks are very nice, but they do develop a white "Tarnish" over time and it seems they ship with a protective film.

Nice find.

I am also Digging to research further used sales of the Car locally in my Town in or around 1976 when the Gilmores traded in a VW as trade.

Car was Sold New in Missoula via T&W Chev. I did reach out to "Karl Tyler Chev' now Missoula Chev with little results.
This was a Fantastic find very easy using NEWSPAPERS.COM

Steering Column Rebuild Started.

[169INDY]

Seam Sealer Applied using Lord Fusor Air application gun that Both sprays and extrudes (Beading) with SEM special TIP to achieve ripple effects.
Nice gun used on other projects also since this is not a daily activity for us. Heck of a clean up on the Gun and with practice you could get better results. This "TOOL" is nicer than a 7 dollar caulking gun by leaps and bounds & will have other uses.

Great job.

[169INDY]

Made progress on the Column, Thanks to Darrel for the tip on the Bearing and help discussing the Adjusters that are set (staked via Heat set) at Saginaw and are not really serviceable at rebuild. (* I trimmed mine on a lathe to increase endplay to allow for proper stick out distance to get the "C" clip installed.) A Neat Video on YouTube was helpful also.

Final Wheel, Used vintage  Walnut  to be installed at final assy of the interior

Interior Tub & Seam sealer painted out with Semi-Flat

Nice work Jim.  Glad you got the column back together.  Column and floors look great.  Keep it up!

Step by step Jim.... As Darrell stated, "nice work"
