Nice thread Charley. Great timing to since this is something I am thinking about doing right now. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[budnate]

go for it and let us know if it really is that easy...while your at drop the frame and the rear-end and brake/fuel line..only take a long weekend and you'll be back on the road looking good... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif

Man before he knows it Darren will have that car body off restored! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thanks for posting that Charley. I might try that stuff on the floor of my car. Somewhere in the life of my car somebody gutted the interior and coated the floor inside all the way through to the rear bumper with roofing tar. It's saved some parts of the car from rust, but boy what a mess. Some of it is still sticky. I've wanted to strip it but wasn't sure how to tackle it. This stuff might be the way.

Darren,

Make sure you put a "silver" grill back in that Z of yours, ok? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[DarrenX33]

Oh yeah, grille is not getting changed. It's resting comfortably with the rest of the car in my 3rd bedroom. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif No more kids until the car gets finished. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

What does your better half have to say about that? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

New poster here. A couple of winters ago, I stripped off the undercoating from the underside of my 69Z. I used "Aircraft Paint Stripper" from Auto Zone. It was very agressive, but did the trick. You paint it on heavy with a brush, and then scrape off the material after 5-10 mins. In most places, I had to do this 2-3 times to get off all of the undercoating. Once I finished, I used paint thinner to remove all oils, etc off of the finished areas. I'll post before and after pictures later today

[DarrenX33]

Welcome Rob. Post some pics of that Z. You have a few of us here who are out in your neck of the woods.

[rsatz28]

Here is before

And after

Here is my car, which now has Tourqe Thrusts

Nice detail job, Rob...Welcome to the site! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[rsatz28]

Thanks Bruce. It took me about 10 weekends to remove the undercoating. I've had the car for about 9 years.

[Belair62]

Maybe we should consider all the guys on the site from Chicago meeting up a few times at one of the cruise nites....hope there's room for us all !!!

[DarrenX33]

Rob you have a neigbor very close by with nearly the exact same car. " Alan X77 Hugger (http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/showprofile.php?Cat=0&User=2071&Number=127169&Boar d=UBB10&what=showflat&page=0&fpart=6&vc=1) " where are ya? Hmm. Small world.

Bob, the season opener of Lombard was outstanding last year. I plan to be ready with the car no later than that show. Let's do it!!

[Belair62]

When is the opener ?

[rsatz28]

Last year Lombard's 1st night I think was June 5. Attached is a pic going N on Rt53 on one of the Lombards last nights.

[DarrenX33]

I don't remember seeing another like Z, but he may be on the bad (west side, nothing but traffic) side of the river. I'm near Rt 62 & Rt 25.

Love that picture! Are those T-3's shining light on us? There are two things missing in that photo, a Garnet Red Z and a Rally Green Z. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Mr T, I wish they were T-3's. In fact the pic was taken out of Pete Gerling's old blue 68 Z-28 by the new owner.

Uh oh http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif You do?

[DarrenX33]

I recall seeing an HO 69 Z and a blue 68 Z pull up to Lombard and park in the ATM lot of 5/3 bank. This was last summer. Correct? We usually park in the drive up lot at the bank. I have a Rallye Green 69 Z.

Alan, You can keep all that traffic on "that" side of town. The 1st step is to accept your problem. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

You can see me at Thurs @ CL, Fri @ RM, Weds @ Cary on occasion. Sat's @ Lombard sometimes.

One of the people I hang with has a black Cobra that lives just north of the Golf Club of Illinois.

There better be a black LS6 there. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Steven J]

I should probably get off my dead *ss and start working on it. It would be fun to have everyone from the area meet there.

[Mr70]

And we are not talking about a Black 1/18 scale diecast here either Steve! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
