1970-Early 1971 Corvette 454 or LT-1 Radiator to Hood Air Dam Repro Of GM

CAVEAT EMPTOR: this die cut Black sponge rubber seal has peel & stick adhesive as original. GM elongated the 69 427 seal & added holes for 2 push in fasteners in a further attempt to fill the gap between the top of the radiator support & the underside of the hood. Ours is the only one made to the GM Blueprints in Bridgeport, CT. None better, more accurate or less expensive. Why pay $$$ for inaccurate repro's made from repro's? What do you think Zip used?

Vendor	Part #	List	Save $
DocR	1274510	16.00
zip +++	ZS410	15.99	much less expensive

+++ a poor copy made from DocRebuild's Blueprint accurate repro except for their price

NOTE: the radiator support in the photo is a generic model not necessarily the one used on this model year.

the BACK STORY:

Around 1984 Mr. Ken May the Director of Warehousing & Distribution for all of General Motors (now retired) provided me with the actual GM Blueprints for Radiator, Fan Shroud & Air Dam Seals. We used these to reproduce these discontinued GM parts. Later we realized that zyp the gyp was ordering these parts wholesale to copy them. Literally making a repro from a DocRebuild repro. Justin Abbot the Lap Dog for David Walker at zyp the gyp has repeatedly stated that I claim invention of these parts. These are dirty liars. I have never claimed to have invented these parts. I have claimed that I was the first to reproduce these parts. And we have the only accurate reproductions. Incidentally Justin Lap Dog Abbott did not even start working at zyp the gyp until a decade after we brought these to the marketplace. Apparently he is a clairvoyant Lap Dog. David Walker claims the high road i.e. silence - that means he cannot dispute the facts. I surreptitiously ordered some of zyp the gyps seals and they are poor imitations not blueprint authentic. They remind me of the Assembly Manuals that have been photocopied over & over. The complex pattern air dams are the worst, and the most visible.

TIP: it you see a zip part number that begins with a Z that is one of their own offerings a zip repro - or rather on my view a re-poop. Unfortunately, for you the consumer there is no knowledge of how these parts were reproduced. zyp the gyp is a money grubbing liar & phony laughing all the way to the bank with your money. But they are so polite. Bernie Madoff was the epitome of politeness running his scam.
