I bought my old 93 Z28 back, now it needs some TLC

goo gone?

Any suggestions to getting this sticky stuff off this used dash? I really should of looked this thing over before buying it... Other than this its in good shape.

[mcalus]

I'll probably just sell it then.

I wouldn't even try... even with cutting there isn't an extra half inch leftover said and done. My lid rubs the hood and thats with the lower skin cut out of the way. I would look into a filter that drops down ahead of the radiator. Anything you can do to eliminate the 90 degree elbow is going to help. Lid woke my car up big time from the SLP CAI.

Repainted bumpers are that big of a deal? Mine has been painted twice and its fine.

Either way sucks it didnt work out.

The fact that I could tell that it has been painted, yes lol. I don't want to fix someones crap.

Edit:
Joel, any way I can do the lid swap without having to cut the underside of the hood? Rather not chop up an oem hood lol. [MENTION=254]JoeliusZ28[/MENTION]

No problem Nick hijack away.

Went and checked out the 97.
Bumper cover had been painted.
Dash pad was cracked.
Seats were in GREAT shape.
Dash itself was in great shape
Tails had moisture in them
1 of the fogs were busted out
Headliner was toast.

He had it up for 1100. It wasn't worth the 700 I was going to offer.

poop!!

Ive never had an issue with that. Theres a little but my exhaust more than covers it up. Sewing machine noise is normal with setups like ours.

Also dont think LS cars are immune to that. My buddies 404 stroker LS2 has way more valve noise than my car, and it too is perfectly normal.

I was wondering if I was to get a set of canton valve covers and put spray sound inhibiter on them if it would help...or a diff set of rockers

This may sound weird but my biggest problem with my LT1 is the valvetrain noise even after checking valve lash like 4 times in the past yeah. Now that I have got the 2OTL its all I can hear.

BTW mike sorry for jacking your thread a little =D

Lsx Boo! *throws tomatoes*

[white97z28]

Whut.

It will make my car look like a lsx car so when I swap in the lsx it will be complete! plus I still have that slp lid and rad support I can put on my car with the front end swap

[JoeliusZ28]

just buy a 1998+ one and then you can use my old bumper after i do the front end swap!!

Whut.
