It's really worth the time and effort, especially in the engine bay. Nothing will make that beast you're putting in pop like a fresh bay.

I'm subscribed and will follow.

My first Camaro was a 79 Z so there always a special place in my heart for these bad boys and I like seeing the resurrection as it happens. Thanks for sharing.

BAD436Z28 · 03-11-2012, 06:03 PM

thx i appreciate it,yeah i will spend alot of time in my engine bay cleaning everything up really good and giving it fresh paint,havent decided if im gonna go with a black engine bay or paint it body color,i kinda like the black myself.

WiSSDiver · 03-12-2012, 09:21 PM

Yep. My 68 is black, but the door jams and trunk match the color.

BAD436Z28 · 03-12-2012, 11:29 PM

yeah same as mine it was originally painted black in the engine bay from the factory would like to keep it that way.

BAD436Z28 · 03-12-2012, 11:35 PM

came across a good deal on a dashpad,hows free for yah its in perfect shape,thx skrail i appreciate it,and spent most of the day working on my bumper cover block sanding it and applying filler,then sanding some more and applying more filler,want this to be as blemish free and straight as possible its the first part of the car u see when looking at it,want it to be perfect.
