April 2019 - engine compartment and under the body update

A view of the engine compartment with everything in place prior to setting on the chassis.

For this restoration we primarily restored existing components and even installed rare and tough to obtain original parts.  For example, the clear wire tab at the upper center of this photo is an original (as well as the others on this fire wall.  These originals and non-discolored are found under the dash of some cars.

See the fiberglass fender, still mostly fiberglass with little blackout.

The ceramic wire block on the upper right is original with the blue line intact.

Wiper motor and Z06 power brake booster are original reconditioned.

Original horns.  Also notice the dry paint coverage of the valence panel...just like factory.

The wire clip on this harness is original.  We also used original wire harnesses where possible.

Original wire harness clip (black, upper center) and notice the hood with red primer. This was typical in the factory as the car was painted with the hood on the car. 

The staples on the fender wells are properly rounded unlike the reproduction dust shields.

Z06 F lettering and the #6 job.  This is under the passenger side foot well.

Original wire harness clips in the rear of the body.

These are all original speed nuts on the emblem on the rear deck.
