Guys project 74 Z28 by olstyle

9 minute(s) of a 380 minute read

Wasn't sure what I was gonna do tonight till the mail man dropped off my seat belt guides, so I put them in while having a few cold ones.
Ya I know it's not much, just a little tid bit on finishing the interior.

With mother nature being a good girl this past week, I was able to finish sandblasting my rally wheels, prime n paint them. I got some Argent Silver by Hugger Performance part #190005 at drclassic.com, went to pick up as they are only about 1/2 hr from me.

Another thing I went to throw out there is these wheels, trim rings n derby caps will be FOR SALE in a few months when I can save enough $$$ to get a set of 5 spoke Z28 wheels .

I have read on here that no one makes the LCA rubber bumper with the long stud to go thru the Z28 spacer and bolt to the arm. Well, I just got back from Advance Auto with Moog part#K6606 LCA rubber bumper. The stud looks like it was made for the length of the spacer. I was all ready to weld a piece of a bolt to the stud to make it thru the spacer, but no need to do that.

P.S. Yes I made the spacers..............Buddy(budz)does not have these in stock right now and I was bored lookin for something to do lol

Must be getting old, lol never thought about it while I was making them  I pulled one back out n took some measurements. Hope this makes sence lol
Yes I used a 5/16" roll pin for the locator.

Just got done mounting my tires and just had to post a few pics. I'm thinkin she's lookin pretty good  Don't be afraid to give me your honest opinion, this is how she stays till I can afford some new tires then the Z28 wheels. Gonna take her out tomorrow for some pics in the sun. Can't wait to see how she looks in the sun after the cut n buff and repair.
Thanks again for the tires Bob(bobt101)

Forgot to add, size on all 4 are 215/70/R15

Well, I was bored till the mailman brought a small package I thought wouldn't be here for a couple more days. I found an OEM Z28 decal part# 3994698 still in the GM bag for the rear tail panel on Ebay. I had the camaro script from when I took the car apart. After putting these on I thought................wow the back of the car was naked lol

Not sure Aaron. I've been watching Ebay n Craigslist, never know what ya will come across, but in good shape with good rings n centers they go from $300 and up
So, been watching this set for about a week and a half. Started at $150, didn't sell. Relisted for $100, still didn't sell. Relisted for $75...............so I figured can't afford them but can't pass them up at that price either lol. This is the only pic I got till Saturday when we go to southern IL. to pick them up. Tires are not included, no rings or center caps, will need sandblasting n paint. More pics to come Saturday afternoon.

Just got home with the wheels and OMG...........................that pic on Ebay did not do them justice at all. Looks like all they will need is a good blasting and some paint

EDIT: Gotta get some beer n get to work

I still can't believe the difference in how something is when it comes out of the blasting cabinet(easily amused I guess lol)

Just using my cabinet with Black Beast I get from Menards for about $8 a 50lb. bag. I think it is a generic Black Beauty.

Got one wheel ready for pirmer Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Hooooooooooooooo

Break time or should I say "Miller Time"

3-21-2010

Ok, got 3 wheels cleaned n primed. Gonna wait alittle bit for the primer to dry then paint one with Plasti-kote #285 Rebuilders Cast Finish and see how it is...................stay tuned lol

Well, don't know what to say......................................
