General Discussion / Font end Alignment
« on: June 08, 2010, 02:05:08 PM »
I'm wondering about the specs on a stock 69 Camaro coupe front end alignment.  The cars were aligned for bias ply tires so the specs were CASTER : positive 1/2 + or - 1/2 a degree...  CAMBER: positive 1/4 + or - 1/2 a degree...TOE: 1/8 to 1/4 inches and must not vary more than 1/2 " side to side.  

So now that the car has radial tires on it what should the specs be changed to for the best possible handling. Keeping in mind the front end is rebuilt with stock replacement parts.  It just has a 1" sway bar on it instead of the factory bar.  

Thanks!
Joe

General Discussion / Steering wheel wrap
« on: May 30, 2010, 05:58:59 PM »
I'm trying to locate the steering wheel wrap that we used to lace over the plastic wheel to give a better grip on the wheel.  While I can find the stuff , I can't find it narrow enough to fit the thin steering wheel on a 69 .  Has anyone got a line on this stuff?   My goal is a wood wheel but for now the bank is busted!!!!

Thanks, Joe

General Discussion / After market fit
« on: April 18, 2010, 06:21:14 PM »
Man...! I've been trying to install new after market door panels in my 69 coupe for most of the weekend!!  What I thought was going to be a easy job has turned out to be just the worst.  So far I have the passengers side on.  Nothing fits and it takes way too many dry fittings and triming to make them fit.  Even then the one I have on could fit better.   They almost fit like the wheel house moldings that are out there!  Is it me?   Or the product?

General Discussion / Rear defogger
« on: April 03, 2010, 04:29:36 PM »
I got a defogger off eBay that the guy insists is for a 69 Camaro Coupe.  The defogger does not even come close to a fitting the sheet metal holes.  Here's the part # off the blower houseing  P/N 3023590-2-.  the separator plate # is 9843811, the grill is 9884678 with an additional # under that one of 9624516.  I've looked but have not found what the part # fits.  Is there a listing of old part #'s somewhere?
Thanks in advance for any info. Joe

General Discussion / Trunk / seat board
« on: March 21, 2010, 12:24:28 PM »
Can someone tell me which side faces the trunk when I install the trunk separator board?  The jute side or the board side.  Seems I've seen it both ways.  Thanks!!

General Discussion / headers
« on: March 04, 2010, 12:45:15 AM »
I'm concidering using headers on my 69 350.  Has a set been made that really fits?  My car has no A/C but has power steering.  Auto trans. too.  I don't want to have to hammer the pipes to make them fit.
Thanks

General Discussion / Wheel well moldings
« on: February 27, 2010, 06:50:26 PM »
Has anyone used the OE Reproduction Wheel Well Moldings from Rick's PN# WW-7 in the new catalog?  My car has Good Mark sheetmetal all around.  The cost of the nos stuff is just out of the question for me.  I've tried some aftermarket moldings from eBay...I think they were supposed to fit on a Toyota or something.  They were not even close to fitting a 69 Camaro!

General Discussion / after market wheel opening moldings
« on: April 20, 2009, 03:00:06 PM »
Hi all, I just recieved a after market r/r wheel opening molding I got from ebay. The screw hoels in it are 1/2" from 10:00 to 2:00 and the rest are sheet metal screw size. I was currious to know if the holes in them for the mounting screws are normal or someone punched them out larger.

General Discussion / Blue wire? Where does it go/what does it do...
« on: March 29, 2009, 05:41:46 PM »
Since the day I took my car apart for restoration I've wondered what this wire is for.  When I took up the carpet  I found a blue wire that runs from front to back. It's also inside a plastic tube to protect it.  If memory serves me it ran in the drivers side sill channel into the trunk.  The car had a rear defogger or could it be a rear speaker wire?  One side of the speaker was body ground? right?

General Discussion / rain gutter stainless
« on: March 17, 2009, 12:06:09 AM »
Is there some sort of a tool I don't know about that rolles the sharp edge over at the bottom of the stainless gutter trim and makes it tight against the steel gutter on the roof.  Before I destroy the stainless I thought I better ask.  If there's no tool howthe heck is it done!!! :-\ ???
Thanks, Joe

Originality / Black sills
« on: February 07, 2009, 12:32:37 PM »
I have an 1969 X11 SS350.  If I'm reading correctly it should have black door sills.  I was wondering if anyone has a good photo they could send me so I can pass it on to the body shop.  I would like to see how the black edge transitions into the cars paint color at both ends of the sill plate and at the top of the rocker.  Is it a matt black?
Thanks for any help!  Joe

Mild Modifications / Spindle Mods for drum to disc
« on: January 25, 2009, 02:39:37 PM »
Hi all...
I've been poking around on the site looking for the info on converting the drum spindles to disc.  I found info but the amount of metal to remove from the top boss on the spindle does not seem to be an exact measurement.  The last one I read was, take off about .610 of an inch  The info also said that you can use a hack saw and grind it flat.  Seems to me that it should be a machine shop job so there are no un even surfaces for the caliper bracket mounting.

Has anyone done this?  I'd like to hear from you!

Thanks, Joe
