Moving forward to this restoration meant undoing everything I had done the first time around. Out came the power windows. Off came the rally sport. Off came the ZL2 hood. I bought everything new from GM when I bought the hood except the harness. Those were the days. No more JL8. Fortunately I kept all of the parts that I removed knowing I didn't want to lose any of the original pieces.
In November of 2018 I decided I needed to install another trunk floor. The car had 3 things that were not in it's favor, vinyl top, trunk mat & bad gaskets on the lid & lights. All of these lead to leaks which rotted out the trunk floor. After some study I decided an aftermarket floor wasn't what I wanted to use. A guy in Phoenix had the rear clip of a 69 with a nice floor & only wanted 150.00 so off to Phoenix. This is the hard way to do a trunk floor but it was worth the efforts to me. 160+ man hours. There was enough pieces from the rear clip to fix the bottoms of the quarters & the section where the back up lights were...Joe
