69 Z/28 Day II Project (Air Force Brat)

[NorCam]

In other news, I found a few more of the missing pieces needed for the restoration. This includes parts now known to be on the car when delivered, but missing when the car was purchased. Knowing it went through a number of people throughout the 80's and into the 90's, it's assumed some of the former owners swapped in some parts and took some unique pieces to further their other endeavors.

Thanks to other members of this fine venue, this weekend I managed to secure an original tilt column, Rosewood steering wheel, completed a full set of deluxe original seat belts and found a few more unique NOS parts for this 69 Z. I also stripped the 12 bolt diff today and it will now start being rebuilt this week. It still has 373 gears in it, but looks like someone changed them out for a set dated 5 of 70. The back cover also showed some signs of a ring gear bolt being chewed up and mulled between the ring gear and the cover at one point. I'll go through the carrier and the gears while it's being restored to ensure it was rebuilt after the fact. It all looks good at this point.
