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

Got the old nasty destroyed hood off.




Previous owner accident plus 2 years of sitting...





Going to respray all the brackets and bolts to swap over to the new used hood.



That looks a little better


Had to clean that windshield!
Once I get into the shop to do the bodywork and paint I'm at minimum going to clean up the rust and repaint the radiator support.

You need to teach me how to spray. I need to spray my front bumper.

Thanks mike!! I'll be lucky enough to have mine done by m&g!!! Lol

Actually the spraying is only 10% of a good job. It's all in the prepping and having a good setup (nice guns, clean air from compressor, clean garage or booth etc)

I know but when I say "spraying" I mean everything it takes to spray. I mean strip, prep, paint. It all. I'm not a painter but I know it all comes down to prep work. You could lay down the most amazing spray ever, but if you didn't prep right it will come to pieces.

Glad to hear you got the starter issue fixed. Do you have poly locks for the rockers or regular nuts on the studs?

You and me both!!!

Poly locks

[meissen]

Do you have the write up on how to adjust poly locks from shbox.com? That's the method my dad and I used on my car and I think it went pretty smoothly. My dad has the stock setup and I thought it was harder on his than it is with the poly locks.

Yes I got it. I think the hardest part is going to be finding tdc. Did you guys do each cylinder individually or do the 8 at once, rotate the crank then do the other 8?

[Fox Slaughter]

I couldn't get it to work that. So what I did was the engine running method.

Did you remove the lash?

[Fox Slaughter]

What I did was do it with the engine off. When I started the car they were clicking. Then tighten them till they stop and 1/4 turn. I think it was BadAir told me another way, tighten them down so they don't click, then back them off till they click so you can hear each individual one at a time, then tighten, then 1/4 turn.

I have a dynomouth and love it and get complements all the time. All i did is have a dynomax bullet (3") welded after my y-pipe and then bought a used slp loudmouth cat back and used everything but the lm1 resonator(muffler). I know you prob want to run true duals but seriously love the dynomouth and it has no drone like true duals. just my 2 cents/opinion for ya man!

I ran the dynomax on my 99 Z28. Wasn't the best, sounded good a bit raspy between shifts but overall better than stock.

Opinions?

[mcalus]

I remember you talking about that awhile back, I ran the exact same setup on the 99.
