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

Good plan! Very organized.

For interior rattles, a gasket is generally what you need. Try gluing felt or closed-cell foam to the offending areas.

Thanks!

I should be able to tear into it this weekend. It feels like I just stopped working on it lol

I have faith in ya im sure you'll get your list of winter mods done!

Got a few small things done today.

Took off the valve cover bolts that I originally sandblasted and never powdercoated



No pics of them scuffed

Sprayed some etch then some flat black. Also sprayed the 2 small screws for the rear bumper running lights.





Popped off the interior door panel bezels. These have seen better days. Lost all 4 clips, know where I can get some? Going to repaint then the right way at work.



My passenger door panel skin started coming apart again a little bit on the top so I mixed up some strong epoxy and clamped it down for a few hours today. Looks much better.

Ordered some clips for the door bezels/switches. So now I can repaint them and fix them the correct way.

I have been pondering spraying my interior plastics black. SEM makes an actual interior spray that is very durable and looks OEM. the painter at work suggested it. He used it on his 68 charger interior and said it looks great. I'm nervous because it's kinda a once you doing it there is no turning back. I intend on going with a black headliner and black carpet. Too much black?

Still need to do something with the seats. The drivers side has the normal hole on the bolster. The passenger side is mint. Recovering the seats is pricyyyy. I'm better off getting a set of used leather seats and swapping them in. But then I'd need some door panels to go along with them.

I've used the SEM stuff that you actually spray from a gun and it worked great for me. Just prep it really well and use whatever adhesion promotors and such that your paint store recommends. Personally, in an interior, I don't see any harm in everything being black as long as it's a nice satin OEM-looking black and not a quickie job with glossy paint.

Glad to hear. I agree, I don't want it tacky. I want it looking as OEM as possible. Really the only durable pieces need to be the kicksill areas for my clobby feet.

I found the lock plastics at hawksthirdgen.

Edit: mini rant, I was in the process of checking out for the lock plastics from hawks, they can only weigh a few ounces, $11 to ship? Put them suckers in an envolope and shipem'... Yeesh

I would rather ruin mine lol. But, if all goes well I'd be more than happy too. It's the LEAST I could do for you.

[birdie2000]

You won't screw them up. I scuffed mine with a red scotchbrite and cleaned them with 91% isoprophyl alcohol, no other prep, then sprayed them with the SEM paint straight from the can into my gun. They've been thrown around in storage for probably 8 years now without a single scratch on them. If I can half-ass it like that and have them hold up, you'll probably be fine.

[mcalus]

Plastic welded the few cracks on the bezels. Then I filled the imperfections in with glaze. Going to scuff the rest of them tomorrow and prime them then paint.

Thinking of a new set of speakers.

Also, I am thinking of ordering the headliner soon. I might be getting this more "for sale" friendly. We'll see...

[birdie2000]

Michael, if you're going to order a reproduction headliner, I have one of those ABS ones that they sell, brand new, that I've decided I'm not going to use. I'll let it go for a decent price if you want to take it off my hands.
