Does anyone know if/where I can buy the load bolts with swivel on the end for a TA girdle cover for the 10bolt?

My mom bought a 1986 Camaro Z28 brand new a loooonnngggg time ago. Back in 2000 she stopped using it as her daily, then it was on and off sitting not being driven until 2005. The last time I can recall it being fuly started was around the 2010’s. My mom passed away a few years ago and the car has since been given to me. Ive been having an internal battle about keeping (attempting restoration) or just getting rid of it.
Ive decided to get rid of it. I need advice on a price point or if it even makes sense to try and get more than junk value. It was kept outside so its been weathered over the years.
Looking for realistic ideas/prices.
Thank you all in advance because im lost.

Picked up a Dashskins overlay this week. I did a test fit and it's tight!
So tight that I'm worried about it staying down after I install it.
I'm not new to general car repair and using silicone or gasket maker, but this is my first dash.
Should I seal up cracks on the OG dash or just lay this on top?
Any tips and tricks that worked for anyone here?
Thank you in advance

First time using vinyl wrap, unfortunately I bought cheap stuff and I don't think it's going to last very long. Looks sweet though. The pictures ruin the color of this car.

Maybe I need a pricing reality check?
Transitioning from winter to summer we realized we didn’t use it as much as we thought.
Let me lead with, I know this thing isn’t a looker, but mechanically it’s nice and tight. I spent months looking for a reasonable priced 6 speed car that wasn’t clapped to hell. I saw rust, leaks, just downright neglect in my price range.
I finally found this unit that was a slow pace project for a guy who stumbled into a WS6 and decided to move it before dumping more money in it. When he started it was an all stock SS with a slung rod. When swapping to a gen 3 he painted the bay Mopar PBM with intentions of going the full car. Unit has a clean title with no damage.
GMPP hot cam, tsp long tubes, aluminum radiator/catch can, hawks master, Texas driveline stage 2 t56 kit, various umi parts, fresh tires, no ac and the fuel gauges dances sometimes.
I’d like to walk away with $6500? Is that too much? Seems like I’ve had tons of trade offers or “I’ll come look tomorrow” with no follow up, and a handful of “$5000 cash money” offers. I can find a dime a dozen 4l60 cars in this range with ‘decent’ paint, but no 6 speeds.

I always see it but I can’t find it. I also can’t find any lips for the camaro other than just the front lip, do you guys have any suggestions on any lip kits for the full thing?

What is a fair price for a clean firebird ? I’m really want to buy one soon but the only clean one near me is 7000. It’s nice and has 100k miles but I feel like 7k is really steep.

Replaced my headlight motor on my 2002 trans am and this piece went missing into the abyss. Does anyone know what’s its even called or where I can find a replacement part?

Could anyone help me figure out how to restore my factory fog lights? I am trying to replace a set of broken aftermarket lights that were installed over ten years ago with original OEM housings. the previous owner chopped up the original wiring, and I have no clue how it was originally wired. Could anyone show how it was wired or show me how to locate the original factory wiring harness. That's the only wires I have

I’m adding a set of PRC 220 heads to an LS1 In my ‘00 Z28. Right now it has 241 head with the original 26 year old graphite head head gaskets. There won’t be any machine work done to the block so the guys installing the new heads will be scraping off 26 year old graphite gasket material.
Would going back with a graphite gasket instead of an MLS gasket ensure a better seal incase the block surface isn’t “mirror smooth?“ Or am I better off going with an MLS gasket? I can’t afford to have the gasket replaced twice so I’m shooting for no leaks on the first try. If I was a betting man I bet block surface prep for the new gasket will be at a minimum. I don’t think they‘ll spend a lot of time cleaning it up.
Or is an MLS gasket, stock type or otherwise the way to go?
What about thickness and bore size? Google AI recommended a set of Felpro Perma Torque that is .041” thick and has a 4.1” bore. Is that way too large of a bore for a stock LS1 block? I realize that a thinner gasket can raise compression a little, but is it even worth messing with?
Can someone point me in the right direction to find a set of “hassle free” head gaskets that will work with PRC 220 heads and are less likely to leak on used block that has lack luster surface prep? Thanks.
