Welcome aboard H.A.G.'s.

I look forward to following your progress. My first new car was an Artic White '91 RS with the 16" wheels in white!

Thanks
Car should be finished with paint by the end of the month. Then bring it home change pinion seal, that is the only leak so far, fix the peeling tint. I will get picture of car all the way through paint.

Re: 91 z28 new paint

Ouch where is that car now. Having the car repainted the same color and re jammed so all looks new. This is my first Camaro to have fun with. I have old Dodge Power Wagons that I have restored and in the middle of restoring. But this is a just a good driver.

I sold that car wrecked back in 2002. A guy flew out here from California and drove it home. It still ran and drove great once I changed the wheel and tire on the pass side front.

Looks good! What brand paint are you using and did you reduce it at all?

I think that piece goes with the metal trim around the rear glass as seen in the picture below.

Re: 91 z28 new paint

To me those look like the pieces that attach on the corners under the hatch, directly above the taillights. Picture attached from Google.
