All the machine work is done on the engine, born with block and heads, intake is stock, looking for a 4 spd carb dated december or Nov oct. 30 over stock 9.0 : 1 compression, stock heads, 10 10 on the crank. going to assemble it soon.

Really deciding what to do about the interior more than anything.

It is 788 LT Neutral comfort Weave - the reproduction is a stamped pattern VS an actual woven pattern... I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE, which is SIGNIFICANT.
I found an original ITW lift reverse shifter and rods.
The original LT door panels are going to be pretty good if not better than that, there is only one small split in the drivers upper which I can fix from the back, put them on new FLAT backings and they will be very good original Neutral LT door panels,(Just Dashes is said to do the door panels at 1500 a pair.)


Gotta get this one done so I can do another... either the 68 HO 4spd GTO I have had for 15 years Alpine Blue over Parchment headrest buckets - Rally II's, redlines, hideaways, 3.55 M20 console rear antenna rear defog, Hd cooling (4 core rad and temp control 7 blade fan), HD aircleaner. all born with matching with original warranty card and recall letter for the fast idle cam on the carb.

OR would like to find a real 72 RS Z28 4spd... ha ha ha...

If your engine parts are original and the machine shop hand cleans the connection rods, they should be pink rods.

They are pink, however I would have assumed they were full floating rods but they are pressed pins... I have a couple of extra sets full floating 69 Z rods however we just used the originals.
Looking for a late 72 dated carb for a 4 spd. - 7043213 with somewhere around a 300-350 julian date for 1972

Door Dates - Quarter Dates-
Original wire harnesses corrected removed plugs, cleaned terminals, threw the plastic in the dishwasher and then refitted all the plug's and connectors after replacing missing and wrong wires, colors, & sizes then re-wrapped or re-sheathed in plastic conduit.
NICE Original dash plastic with Argent Trim -
Replated the ash tray -after cleaning realized it was the dated original - 11-72 unbelievable.

I am looking for any REAL Neutral Comfort weave material that anyone may know about....
I believe early 70's

First two are the original door panels which had been MARHYDE painted black, I cleaned them with a tooth brush and Goof Off, it took over a half gallon to remove the Marhyde.

The second two are an ORIGINAL low mile Neutral Comfort Weave interior - code 788 - I can only hope the interior turns out anywhere close to this nice....

Man, that is going to be killer. I love the old Gold colors and you rarely see them so I'm excited to see how this comes out. Keep posting up your progress, thanks.

This project sure does inspire me to finish my '73... (working on it slowly, but finally making some progress).

On the evap canister date code question... You made me go look at mine.

Yours: 354 with an 01A car body.

Mine: 039 with an 02A car body.

Appears to be a date code as you suggested...

Keep up the great work !

Charlie
