Been that way for years and a good person to work with. Hopefully he's still available.

Does anyone still have an original spare with the wax dot present. I am trying to determine dot color to amount of weight installed. I believe 1/2 oz is white, 1 oz is red. Anyone have anything else?
Thank you, Doc. 

Not sure of any "wax dot" but have noted  a type of ink or paint dot that I thought had to to with assembling the tire to the spot weld on rally wheel to allow for the best possible balance (least lead weight use). Both of these pictures from friends 69 Z/28 survivor.

Bump.  Does anyone have door jamb photos of this car, specifically where the black rocker paint is and isn't?  Tape line fore and aft.

Some great looking and impressive Camaro's. Could not be there this year and it hurt not being able to see so many friends and just taking in each year's collection of entries. Thanks for sharing.....

Another factor might be time-frame of build that have painted manifold bolts. Just a thought as Skip's 69Z is a late 09D built car. Any idea Kurt on build dates for other Z's with painted manifold bolts? John, the judging manual probably is just communicating what is considered "the norm".

Yikes, glad it's up and running again. Had been so long I stopped checking but happened to check yesterday and Oh boy it's up. Thank you to the entire CRG team Kurt......

I think it just makes a 68 have a better look & unique, not saying the best looking, but it has a look all its own. But I am partial LOL.

Normative Practice was Semi-gloss Black. Over the years the DOT3 fluid dripped and removed a lot of the Delco/Bendix as built paints.

Correct & they were machined after painting....Joe

And as Joe pointed out the two large surfaces on side and small indented area where stamped should be bare of paint due to machining surfaces after. A semi-flat clear works well to preserve no painted surface.

Joe, 07D 68Z survivor rad support has the dimples, so for sure it started sometime late in the 68 model year run.

I've looked at late Sept and Oct built survivors and they had the traditionally assumed correct wing nut. I've never seen that type before.

The metal is buckled it looks like and even the door opening switch is bent/angled. Might have been drilled holes trying to assist with damage? At first I thought of Zbar coating when they drilled holes to spray protection in.

WorkinProgress was Warren Malkin, Jr. He passed away shortly after his last post, October 2021.

And Warren was a good person and so full of Camaro knowledge. He helped me with info for a book I was working on and he is missed by many. RIP Warren......

Everyone I had talked to like the idea of having the great array of survivor cars and these elite restored cars in the same area to review. One might say the best of two worlds. What might be a good topic relates to judging review of 1st step judging prior to the full blown Legends judging event which is quite extensive.
