I’m block sanding my 80 z28 right now, fixing to paint. I completed all mechanical work and new interior. I have built cars for 40 years and I’m building this one for myself. My first car was a 1980 z28. My last car will be the same. Keep turning wrenches. The addiction of autohaulic is real. Don’t fight it
I believe I would have taken care of the paint before doing any of this unless your going to leave it like that if you get somebody who knows what their doing I think a lot of the paint can be buffed out to a point but I don’t know (the doors and trunk buffed) but iv also seen a lot of great new sprays that can bring paint back to life
Looks good bro 👍 keep at it , I have 3 of these cars , right now I'm working on my black 80 t-top ,new gas tank and lines , brake upgrade , suspension upgrade all this summer , over this winter I'll be swapping the rear end gear and axles , it runs good with the 350 motor I have in it now ,but I may build a 383 stroker for it also this winter , my 79 r.s. gets the love next spring , had it since 97 has a built 327 with 4 speed and 373 gears, pretty quick back in the day ,
I used to have a 1979 Camaro. Right now I have a 1978 and 1980 Camaro. The 78 model, has a Z-28 Front end. I was living in Fort Worth when I purchased it. I wondered why did they put a Z-28 front end. I did a search for a 78 front in, and found nothing. But when I searched for a Z-28 front end, there were plenty of them available. So it has the 350 engine. And it runs really well. Zero smoke. And plenty of power.
@@skylorscoggan-pw9xr no I do not, it was made to order by a guy named Logan Phillips. He’s the owner of Phillips Fab, not sure if he still makes them or not.
I used a Speed Engineering Conversion bracket for the alternator and power steering pump. It is the stock power steering pump, as well as alternator that came on the 5.3. I also swapped to a LS3 style water pump.
@@CurtisHarshey I understand that thought, honestly just too excited to have the car look more complete finally. Majority of the paint looks fine in my eyes, mainly the passenger door and trunk that need love so thinking I may get away with leaving the new parts on.

Looking good, I believe with a little heat from a heat gun you can shape the rear wing extension so it lines up. Great video.
@@Zelaznogsiul-63 great idea! Thanks!

Do you have a part number or link for the wing extension?

What accessory brackets did you use on your engine? And what power steering pump did you use ?
I used a Speed Engineering Conversion bracket for the alternator and power steering pump. It is the stock power steering pump, as well as alternator that came on the 5.3. I also swapped to a LS3 style water pump.
Why not fix the paint before adding equipment, You'll have take it off before fixing paint. What you put on is the final install, not the beginning.
