Long Roof K2500 Driver
Well, since I'm not doing much on the 'burb these days, I'll chronicle my adventures with this rig.
I've owned this car since high school, that's over two decades for those of you keeping track at home.
It was a factory L98/700R4 G92 dual cat car from the factory. It now sports a warmed up LQ9 based 6.0L and a T56 trans. It's got some awesome period correct speed parts including a Dana 44 warranty/parts counter replacement axle and a Banks Stinger TOTL exhaust setup (two on the left). Both the axle and Banks exhaust were purchased NIB, long long after they were sold.
The car puts 423hp to the wheels, and will trap 11.9's on drag radials in the 1/4.
Currently its getting the headliner replaced and will soon get the steering gear replaced. This winter I'm thinking it's time for better front brakes.
So...
Project headliner is officially kicked off for the Z28. I broke down today and pulled the old stuff out, new red/black houndstooth material will be here tomorrow.
Material was still in good shape as far as color...just had delaminated from the foam backer. Flame Red is a 2-3 year color code, depending on which book you read from...no one makes replacement interior stuff in this color...it sucks.
Used a stiff bristle brush and some air to remove the old stuff:
Not bad for 31 years...
Needs some minor repairs to make it better and take care of some cracks:
1st coat of resin and glass cloth(in the worst areas, I'll add a couple of full length strips for rigidity also):
Had some FatMat RattleTrap *** left over from the '49 interior project, so I hit the roof panels. The floor and back wall are all covered in the same material in this car:
