1968 Z/28 is finally alive
You guys might get a kick out of this.
This is my first video, but give me some feedback....Like should I get lower in the back for better acoustics? Anyway..... 1968 Z/28 302 Engine run All stock, all forged, high compression 11:1 Holley 780 carb The exhaust is the stock manifolds through dual pipes into a single transversly mounted muffler, then twin pipes out the back. Sounds pretty mean though, huh? Not done yet, that's why its not striped. |

Looks great! I love 68's, get those stripes on and paint the gas cap body color and you will be in business. I love the stock factory parts under the hood.

Love the sound and GREAT car!
I actually was up close to the one-off 1968 Z28 Camaro convertible that was made. Up in the Detroit area about 7 years ago.

that red looks good. Heck, I'd black out the rear panel and leave the stripes off.

Very nice. I had a white '68 Z
Gotta have rear bumper guards  and don't paint the stripes on the end of the deck lid...they have to stop under the spoiler

nothing like seeing that as you're walking up to a car and expecting to see a nice 396 under the hood, only to walk away disappointed after seeing a small block between the fenders. That could ruin the whole impression of an otherwise beautiful car

The plan is .....
to finish off minor paintwork.... then stripe.... Sorry no black rear panel...but I think that looks cool too. I don't know if I'm going to have the stripes painted or use vinyl (blasphemy...right?) Painted stripes always bleed under the the masking tape....and with vinyl I could change the color from white to black... Should be done in a few weeks....I'll post the finished product. |
