Beautiful car! :thumbsup: The color you choose for the car looks awesome. I'm considering doing the z28 stripes on my car with that color. How do you think it will look with red? At the very least I want to do the fuel cell and frame that color. :thumbsup: :bow: :cheers:

I should do a build thread over here...

Where did you find the Pfadt bushings? I did the Zr1 hubs on Steve's advice as well.

Hey Corey! Your car def belongs over here, although I would't blame you if you decided to maintain a single build thread. Maybe some highlights as you progress?

Bushings are big topic. You can take a second on your house and buy the spherical alum from Pfadt or plead w them to sell you just the Poly fronts. Vette Brakes and Performance also makes a nice set of Poly/Graphite fronts only.

As far as colors - I'm no design expert - but I'm not sure the Z28 stripes work for my eye. Maybe reverse them? Or solid charcoal w red frame and fuel cell? The colors def look great together so what do I know?

I agree. I think if you're gonna go red paint, some darker charcoal/grey stripes would be a great choice.

Corey, definitely start a build thread on Lat G. :thumbsup:

Hey Ron - car is coming along real nice! Glad to see you settled on a year :thumbsup: . Unfortunately looks like you decided to go through that learning curve anyway, discovering that most are not what they seem under the paint. Seems like you managed to side-step that mess and find yourself a nice '69. Cannot believe the luck on that delivery - that's Murphy right there. But you're making the most of it and you've made a ton of progress in a short amount of time. Some real interesting stuff you are considering. Give me a call sometime and we can talk engines, dry sumps, bumpers and roll bars :-) I'll be keeping a close eye on your progress and look forward to seeing the car in person.

Cheers!
G.

Hey Gregg! Glad to see you posting over here and thanks for the props. You should do a mini build thread over here and put up some eye candy. I'll call you for sure as those are all topics I need to deal with! Excellent post over at PT as well...:thumbsup:

Ron, that color is the shiznit. It looks beautiful on your car. I ain't gonna lie though, I'm going to have to steal that for my next project...the C10. Hey, I want to see pics of the powder coated subframe. By the way Ron, thanks for all the advice you have been giving me lately. :hail:
