No, not zinc. These were stamped from sheet steel. Some plants painted the rear differentials black while others were left natural steel while still others had a flash coat of black sprayed over the rear though that was mostly done at the dealership. I left mine all natural because Baltimore cars are known for that and the fact that we found no paint whatsoever on it. As far as other 69's that would depend on the plant.

Rick...your restoration work is simply spectacular, and second to none! I am looking very forward to seeing the finished product at MCACN 2019....I am also looking forward to seeing the 70 Z28 that you are restoring...the one you did for Mark Mitchell was amazing!

Thanks for the kind words Randy. It will be a bit before we get started on the restoration of the Z28 as we need to finish some other projects first. Meanwhile, Jamie has the body so he will be getting started on that soon along with the other 3 cars he is doing body and paint on for us. I will try and post updates the body and paint on that car as it is a very nice solid car to start with similar to Mark's.

Last minute striping by Jamie, Joe, Brian and Joey just prior to the MCR shoot last Monday. Thanks to Brian Henderson for the photos. The car will be displayed February 8-10 at the Pittsburg World of Wheels as you see it here and I will be flying out to spend the weekend at the show. Then it is back here for some VERY long nights and weekends getting all the restored parts assembled on the car. Long road ahead but if it has been anything like the first part of the road it will be a joy.

I have gotten a couple of emails from people questioning the placement of the hood stripes. Though straight may look a little cleaner I do not like how the end up in the front with regards to where they meet up with the triangle. As a reminder, these stripes were put on by Lynn Yenko and her friends after school. We discussed this in length when she sat in our MCACN booth several years ago with Dana's 68 Yenko. She explained that many times they were in a hurry and the stripes on the hood as well as the body were not straight and each car could be different from the next. Ditto for the stripe being installed after the chrome grilles. Some had them and some did not. I went through many original photographs before these were put on by Joe and Brian and think they are perfect. Below is a photo of our hood and one off Chad's original paint Yenko built very close to ours. As you can see, his were even more angled. Is there a right way or a wrong way? I don't think so.
