Originality / Original Glass dating

« on: July 31, 2007, 07:19:24 PM »

I am researching the original glass dated etchings.  My car is a 11C 68 Norwood built car. I need input on the location of the front windshield etching and whether it was on the outside read from the inside or read from the outside. I have read the CRG glass report and would like to see other examples of how it was done. Also was the original clear windshield all clear or was there a tint at the top?

Restoration / Outer door window felts

« on: October 09, 2006, 08:19:24 PM »

I need opinions on which outer window felts to use on a 69 Coupe. I don't have any originals to compare to so which brands fit best and look similar to the originals? I see there are repro felt type and also rubber ones available.  I know the orignals were felts but what should I do? The car is not really going to be seeing much driving or weather and is completing a frame off resto. I mainly want it to look good without a lot of fitment issues.

Originality / 69 Woodgrain horn shroud

« on: May 15, 2006, 12:39:05 AM »

What is the correct part or stamping number for the 69 Camaro woodgrain horn shroud? Is it also shared with any of the other Chevy models that year? I have seen both #3972735 and 3939760 listed as correct on Ebay and wondering which one is or if both could work for Camaro. I know on the standard black ones the grain is different between the Camaro and Chevelle The woodgrain ones look similar to me though not having seen them both in person.

What is the correct color for the 69 deluxe interior window crank knobs? I have been told they should be black. I have seen both clear and black. The interior is black in color.

Restoration / 12 bolt restoration

« on: December 28, 2005, 01:58:12 AM »

I am starting the restoration of my 69 12 bolt rearend and need advice on the painting of it. Did the factory completely assemble the rearends including all brake parts and then paint them? Were the bolts painted also? I assume the brake lines were put on later during the cars assembly?

What is the correct length for the valve stems on the 69 Rally wheels? Did they originally use the DILL caps in 69 and what is the correct number on these?
