  1. Good looking car...
  2. I realize that body color is really the correct method but I went black because I didn't want to see bright yellow from the wheel wells around the black tires. Final body color might influence the decision. A darker color in blue or green, I probably wouldn't have bothered
  3. I have the Kevin Tetz "Paintucation" videos and they are very good. He also has a forum and I have conversed with him directly. That's where I learned the fiberglass on pinholes technique...
  4. @SteveJ Sorry for the thread jack, I'm done...
  5. This is pretty basic. Not rocket science, I don't normally get involved with your posts any more because you don't take the advise given. 5' of fuel hose and one tee and 6 hose clamps. Cut it up to fit, pretty basic....

    @SteveJ I hate it that you're not having a good time there... Wish I could have made it down but working 6 days a week right now...
  7. Yes! Rubber hoses! This is a process of elimination. Try some rubber hoses and bypass the metal fuel rail. If it helps come up with a more elegant permanent solution later! Solve the problem first, then make it pretty...
  8. When you say the numbers don't match, what do you mean? The engine number should match the data plate under the hood that has the engine number on it, not the VIN number....
  9. Love it. Nothing like the smell of leather interior...
  10. Fuel lines!!! Come on, how hard can it be to cobble together a set of test lines????????
  11. I agree with siteunseen on SEM for panel colors. Paint panel works really good on panels that don't get rubbed very much. I would work on cleaning the door cards and armrest with some good cleaners. As for AC I would consider upgrading to a rotary AC compressor ...
  12. @Hardway Not your fault at all! I put it in my ebay watch list and got distracted. "Squirrel!!!" I am working a lot right now and just forgot. It will be ok. A friend on the forum says he will take care of me...
  13. You would think some of these states would come to their senses and realize that 40 year old cars aren't really contributing very much to pollution concerns!!!
  14. @Serban The car looks really good!
  15. It looks really good! I am using 3M dry guide coat. I really like it...
  16. Don't want to start a pissing match but there are a number of classic Z's that are just as quick. Big Phils from hybrid Z comes to mind. I think he's making about 472 Hp in a car that weights 1400#'s less. Can't hardly keep it in a straight line even with limited slip. On a different note... I do like your car, 69 is my favorite year. I was working on 73' for my son until he lost interest. Sold it in pieces...
  17. Thanks Time to start my plating up again soon...
  18. Where did you get the fiber wheel? What grit is it?
  19. Patcon replied to sweatybetty's topic in Help Me !!
    Bad ground occurred to me too. It does seem far fetched but who knows... Wires, cap & rotor don't change it, so: plugs or distributor/pertronix
  20. Yes, yellow zinc...
