love the keychain.

I have one that I used on my 1981 back in the day ... got it it on a trip to San Deigo to see my sister in 1986 ... so it is vintage too.
Car is looking good bud !
Be glad you don't live in PA ... we have a bit more snow ;-)

in the snow pic ... is this a cat?

Good to know I'm not the only one that makes slow progress

lol no its a fake scare crow owl. The wind makes the head turn to make other birds stay away from the garden thats normally there lol.

dude your car looks great, i would like to make a suggestion, to move the gas filter into a vertcal position off the fuel pump to get it away from being right on top of the header........ dont want that nice camaro to get well done right ?

yea its just a temp deal. I had to install another fuel line on the carb which messed up my normal running of the fuel line. Soon will fix it.

Well it has begun. I dont have pics yet but today i starting taking the car apart. Got everything out other than brake and fuel lines. The rear end is kinda out only thing holding it in is the parking brake. How do i disconnect it? I will get some pics soon. The long road of progress has began again.

Also i did get a new tool box for my birthday (Feb 19th) So that makes a nice addition to the garage. Turned 21 granted i didnt go out and party.

Matt when I took the rear out of mine, I just disconnected the two cables where they meet under the car And took the cables out attached to the rear end, there is a retainer clip on each side where the cables go through the rear frame rails

Did alittle more. Got the springs off the rear. Drums are still stuck on there good. So the rear end is still under the car. Also the rear shackle bolts that are at the top... they are fighting me bad. I cant seem to get them to break loose.

Im still trying to figure out how i want to do my exhaust. I want to lower the front with Hotchkis springs but my exhaust is to low. I was gonna cut my headers and reweld them so they are shorter and closer to the body but one of my pipes are lower than the other... so im not sure yet. Anyways ill shut up here are some pics lol.


Tanks out of the way. Think i will buy a new one.

Leaf Springs out. Taking them to school tomorrow to heat the bushing out of the springs.

Crappy pic but the drive shaft, and spring mounts

Bump stops with nice glossy paint. I miss this color

Heres the Z sitting on stands.

This is what i have to work with. Not too bad overall

There is one of the stuck on shackles anyone have a tip for removal?

And last but not least my new tool box. Properly dressed with NastyZ28 (Note: Please excuse the water. We are having a decent storm and its flooding around the area.)

Thats all i got right now. I plan to be making a list for Classic and Summit and placing an order on monday.
