Restoration / rosewood dash

« on: February 10, 2011, 06:57:10 PM »

my rosewood dash is in pretty good shape for its age, but does show some light scuffing or for better words scratches. these scratches cannot be felt with your finger nail. is there anything that someone has tried to help hide these marks?

General Discussion / GM mark of excellence

« on: December 23, 2010, 03:23:45 PM »

when i purchased my 69 it had the gm mark of excellence sticker on the drivers door jamb, i have since learned this door was re-tooled for the vehicle certification label. Does this car get the GM sticker anywhere else on the car?

Seems to me that i read a post here somewhere that said the drivers door stamp was re-tooled in late 69 to accomadate a sticker that displayed the VIn# in that door. If i did'nt imagagine this, is there anyone that may have a picture of this door, i have noticed that the left door is diffrent than the right door on my car.

Thanks, Mike

Restoration / Need Help and or Advice

« on: January 19, 2010, 01:56:19 AM »

I have a 69 camaro that i am pretty sure was originally a small block car, now it has a b.b. My problem is that after installing the engine it appears to me that it sets to far forward, there is plenty of room in between the block and firewall to acess the bell houseing bolts, most that i have seen are very tight. The the clutch adjustment rod is to short, the bell crank is angled foward, and when installing the crank pulley it has very little clearence, if any at the frame.
I realize that the b.b. requires special mounts that attach to the frame for the motor mounts, the ones i have, have these numbers stamped in them, the left side which is taller is 3950113, the right side is 3950114, both after market as well as the bell crank and clutch adjustment ass.
The 4-speed trans lined up with the trans mount with out any problem, the drive shaft measures 50" center to center. Does any one have ANY advice???

Is there a number stamped in the sub frame, and if so where?
