Car looks really clean, nice find. Any advice on what to do about a couple small rock chips in my hood? I was going to pick up some touch up paint (brush) but wondering what/how to clean out the small indentations before applying it, they're pretty deep.

i would use a wax and grease remover and try to keep it real small if possible let it dry good then put a 2 part clear on top of that let dry real good, sand lightly with 1500 and then 3000 grit paper and then i light buff, makes then almost dissapper.

thats exactly what i am going to do with mine, it has one rock chip on the hood...

Looks clean! Not sure WHAT Chevy was thinking putting those rims on Z28's but that is pretty easy to fix.

Pewter - very nice. I'm kinda partial to that color myself. When it is clean, and the sun hits it, wow... Anyway, welcome, and congrats on the new ride!
