1978 Z28 Full Build Birmingham Alabama

[78SilverZ28]

I bought the car in 2006 and it has been through a lot to say the least :_paranoid I have decided to go through the whole car and do a full restoration and try out a new look.

If you have any suggestions for color please share!


It does not really "need" much but after driving it everyday for 5 years its time for some change.

Pulled it in the garage at home and got all of the interior out today.

Love the windshield banner, lol. Looks like a solid car to start a project with. Good luck with the work. What all do you have planned?

[srh3trinity]

Will be following along. What are the build plans? I am a second Gen guy in Birmingham too.

cool another B'ham'r. I'll have to keep an eye out and stay out of your way HA. Keep the pics coming.

That windshield banner kicks ass

[78SilverZ28]

Haha thanks guys, the banner works great sometimes.

It is going on the rotisserie to get soda blaster top and bottom, full paint, front subframe powedercoated, then reassembly with some more goodies. there will be some metal work too, looking to do some different things with this one.

Some of the stuff I have already done to it, most of the parts will be cleaned up and re-installed. I am making my own wiring harness for the engine and chassis, all sleeved and heat shrinked. I sold the torque thrust, going with a different setup now.

17x11's up front, little too much. I will be going with 18x10's up front on the new setup

Looks like its gonna be a fun one for sure

[zleehw]

I have always like those years....what all do you have planned for it?

[78SilverZ28]

Thanks, I am looking forward to having some fun on this build. Maybe some 4 link

[Firebirdsteve]

Or torque arm???

[78SilverZ28]

At this point in time, I do not think I have the coin for going with a torque arm and front subframe setup. I plan on making my own brackets for the 4 link, I have done a few and do not think it will be too bad to make my own. Just have to get the angles right
