Re: 1969 Z28 Restoration

I am very familiar with BoeShield T-9. I want to also recommend
a comparable product called FLUID FILM.

FLUID FILM has a unique woolwax(lanolin)formula containing no
solvents to evaporate. Always active, it will not become tacky,
providing long lasting protection to all metals.

FLUID FILM has been independantly lab tested for 7 weeks and was found to be far superior to other products. Unfortunately this lab test did not include BoeShield T-9.

Check out www.fluid-film.com for those that believe my recommendation.

Yes I am a dealer. I would deliver aeresol cans at the 2011 MCACN, at my cost if I could get 12 pre-paid orders to cover the product and shipping of one case to the show.

Re: 1969 Z28 Restoration

We put the exhaust on the car today, there are a few differences in the rear hangers. One difference is quite significant as it actually causes the hanger to sit lower by approx 1/2".

Does anyone else have original exhaust hangers off an Early Chambered car?

Here are the originals and repro's shown together...

Re: 1969 Z28 Restoration

Who's repro hanger is that?

Re: 1969 Z28 Restoration

GARDNER...
I have a call into them & I am sure they will make it right, however I wanted to see if anyone else has some EARLY originals to compare.

Re: 1969 Z28 Restoration

James - my guess is the Gardner boys will want to correct their design if you can provide them with a correct original piece to go from. good luck. let us know.

Re: 1969 Z28 Restoration

James,

whats the build/vin of your z? I should have those hangers off my car.

Dan

Re: 1969 Z28 Restoration

I let Eric know I had the originals and offered them before the system was built as we discussed the white belting. I had no idea, (I'm betting that they didn't know either) the arched rubber piece was a difference in hangers.

Dan,
10D Fisher Body date - Chevrolet finished first week of Nov.
I think your car is a few days earlier... wish this one had your interior!

BTW Eric Gardner asked if I had the clamps from the over axle hangers, I didn't, if you do have them we would like to know if they are as indicated in the assembly manual (strap type) or if they are the standard type clamp.

Thanks
James

Re: 1969 Z28 Restoration

Are 3 cars are pretty close. My car is 11D of 68.

Re: 1969 Z28 Restoration

There was a Dusk Blue on blue std 11c or 11d I missed a few years ago... 547xxx was the Vin. I should have followed up as I could have bought it right... real right. Even though all the drive train was gone and it needed a total resto it had the original paint and stripes, 4 original dated AD's, white cowl, 2 pc rotors, off white molded silver grille etc.

It showed up on the CRG right after I missed it and I confirmed it as the real deal for the guy out of Ohio.

Re: 1969 Z28 Restoration

James, give me a bit to dig out the hangers and I will post what I have. I'm 10D too.

Re: 1969 Z28 Restoration

Dan,
Shauger posted a photo of his 09B originals on the CRG (exactly like the originals I have.) If yours are not readily available please do not go through too much effort, they would be another data point though.

Thanks
James
