Great job by your son, looks awesome. Was that scanned from the photo and then adjusted to compensate for angle?

I found another image of a canister with a clear looking label and he imported it into photoshop studio to do his thing with it. I think he cleaned up he logo and reset the text to get the resolution needed for print. He also got the color where it should be to match the original color used on the dispenser cans.

Nice to have the younger folks around that can do that stuff!

Sorry if I missed it in any recent updates, but getting a vibe you're now doing a stock restoration as-delivered, or are you still targeting a day 2 theme?

Day 2 is still the plan but with an emphasis on the car returning to bone stock should the original motor be found. It may still be out there since it was pulled in '74. For now, it's getting the solid roller small block, M23 transmission and some rear end upgrades. It'll be jacked on the rear with 50's, have a set of pie crusts up front, receive a host of sun gauges including a pair on the cowl, a vintage ignition, vintage Hurst line loc, vintage rear air lift, vintage slappers and whatever else I can find between now and when it's completed. I'll chase the second/third owner and the original motor if I can find out where that was and keep a glimmer of hope the motor may still be sitting somewhere. The same goes for the transmission from the car. If either of them are found, they may be reunited down the road. For that reason, most of the car is being restored to look original and that includes the body and interior. Should look like a well optioned Z/28 on steroids, but easily returned to stock if needed. |
The way things have gone so far on this one, wouldn't be surprised if the original engine shows up in your driveway at some point. :)

Loved this car when I saw it for sale. My favorite color combo.
Looks like a great timeline of events that have been happening. Original invoice and pics of it. Just amazing!! |
Seems like this car has been a day 2 car forever.... someone blew up a clutch and ravaged the tunnel with a high strung 327 for cryin out loud. There are so many stock z28s out there. When is the last time you saw a perfect day 2 Z?

This is Paul standing in front of the car back in 1970 after he installed a set of Ansens on the Z. How ironic is that? I mean it's like it is supposed to happen this way. Same exact look I was shooting for and great to know it was originally that way back in the day. I was just showing this to my wife and commented on the t-shirt being Edelbrock with some classic decals in the quarter window, and my wife said...love the pants too! Looks like Goodyear Polyglass with L60's on the rear? Totally cool picture and hoping Paul finds more like this. https://i.ibb.co/3y5WZmK/Gluck-1970.jpg Photo courtesy of Paul Gluck.
