"Well ya see Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

"In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the lowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

I've got four pictures of the tear down, can I forward the pictures for someone to post? I tried, but they're too big.
They pulled the area where passenger fender mounts and the door opens OK. No visible damage to the firewall.
The engine and transmission are being pulled next week and were looking for a sub frame. We may have a line on an original RS front.
Powder coat or paint the sub frame?

Sure Tim, send them to me and I'll post them for you

Well we have a nice sub frame for the car that will be cleaned up and painted. We also have a set of 1970 used fenders. They’re non Z28, so the holes need to be welded and new holes for the Z28 emblems need to be drilled. The fenders will be stripped and prepared for installation. We have a nice RS front end and grill, too.

The hood should be an easy find since there’s nothing special about a Z hood and they used the same hood for years. I’m still having a shop do the work since they have to tools and they can do any supplements that need to be submitted to the insurance company. I’ll photograph the progress when the sub frame comes off.
