I was just curious if there were some literature or a website that would show details of how the first gen camaro shells were put together? Assembly line and actual factory instructions?

« on: August 22, 2006, 11:45:51 PM »

After replacing my trunk pan i'm having some panel matching problems on my 69 camaro. I need a measurement from the lowest part of the trunk pan,(where the drain plugs go ) strait up to the package tray bottom. I need to make sure the the quarters will be right once they are welded in,if its not too much trouble this would help me out tremendously. Thanks

General Discussion / Can a Saginaw 4 speed be built to handle Big Block horse power?

« on: June 14, 2006, 02:41:12 PM »

I dont know alot about Saginaw 4 speeds nor the differences between Muncie's and Saginaws. I just know that a Saginaw isnt built for high horse power like a Muncie is. My brother is looking to change his 68 Nova into a manual car from an automatic. He owns a 4 speed Saginaw and has just had a 396 big block built for his car. The prices of Muncie's on E-Bay is through the roof, is there an alternative? Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thank you

Restoration / I need to replace my entire trunk pan etc.......

« on: May 16, 2006, 03:59:21 AM »

I need to replace my entire trunk pan,i went to NPD and bought a new full trunk pan. My car is a 1969 Camaro 396SS and it was a northern car. The entire trunk pan,inner rear fenders,outer rear fenders,quarters,and rear panel need to be replaced.They are rusted beyond repair and i need to know the best method to get to the trunk pan without causing a major disaster. I removed the driver side quarter,inner/outer fender and with those gone there is no support holding the top of the car up. I did put some steel rods inside the rear seat area to hold the roof up at the right height but the thought of removing the passager side scares me. What is the best method to get to the trunk pan without the roof of the car collapsing? Any info on this will be greatly helpful. Thank you

Decoding/Numbers / I'm new and need help decoding my 69 camaro, please help!

« on: November 15, 2005, 04:59:18 AM »

I just bought a 1969 camaro and i'm trying to figure out what the car is. The car is missing the engine but it still has a 4 speed transmission it. Well at least in the trunk. I thought the car was a bargain even for $500.00,although it has seen some better days........very rusty. I would like to find out as much about the car as possible and i tried to understand all of the codes but i wasnt very successful. Some parts of the car is missing all together hood,rear deck lid and emblems. The cowl tag reads as followed   ST69  12437   NOR 120222 BDY   (2nd line) TR 711        57 57 PNT   (3rd line) 09A         X66         I would like to know what the motor and transmission was that came in the car if possible,color of paint inside and out. Also what kind of stripes( if any),hide away head lamps( since the car doesnt have a grill) and whatever other info someone can tell me. It does have a 10 bolt rear under it but i know those are easy enough to change out. So if someone would be kind enough to help me out i would be very appreciated.
