Site Comments/Discussion / Quesiton to site moderator or managers

Is there a time frame before a reply is put up after I post it because of it being reviewed for content or other. Twice now I have replied to a topic and after previewing it and posting it never appeared, I had added some pictures and then come to find out at this area of the forum that you guys wanted pictures cropped or downsized a bit. I do not think that was so much of a problem but it has been well over 15 minutes and it has not been posted. Anyhow I was just wondering as to maybe a reason for a delay. If no answer, I will write back to the topic and try to post again and see if it is a problem on my end.... Thanks Gino,

Originality / 1967 Simulated Mag Five Spoke Hub Cap

« on: July 04, 2011, 05:47:41 PM »

Sorry to all, I did not proof my topic before I submitted it, I made a typo in the listing regarding the SUBJECT. It did not make much sense without having the word "Simulated" included, it was well after it was posted that I reviewed it for content. Anyhow that better defines what specifically I am asking about. Sorry to double post on this same subject. I believe by clarifying now, I will be better able to get some valid responses. In the first post, it appeared a little vague as to what type of hub cap I was referring to..  Thanks

Originality / 67-68 Front Bumper @Ebay

« on: October 27, 2009, 10:03:51 PM »

Ebay    Item# 160341730322  67-68 Camaro Rechromed front bumper
A guy is asking questions as to how many holes in the bottom bumper center and at the outboard ends top and bottom, he makes a statement about mounting differences of the different years. So how many holes would be correct for the 67 year and which one would be for the 68 year. THe AIM manual does not show the bottoms, and of course it is hand drawn, I have seen the descrepancies from the drawings in other areas.

Originality / Rear bumper guard placement

« on: October 26, 2009, 04:06:49 AM »

Can someone post pictures of rear bumper guard placement, at least the drilled holes. Would like to see some examples of finished pictures also. Yes I have the manual but would like to see a few pictures, some I have seen are placed differently, I would like to know if the holes were field drilled for cars that got the option and how they were placed behind the tail light. I am curious as to the existing holes in the lower pan as mine does not have any.... any help will do as to pictures and after viewing I will reply with any other questions,,,,,thanks

Decoding/Numbers / Steering Column, coded as a component?

« on: July 15, 2009, 02:37:50 PM »

I was looking at the gas tank post and thought about other components, it is obvious when it came to parts made by other vendors that they got coded or when they came from other GM plants and had to get shipped to the assembly plant. How about an item component like the steering column. Are there date codes on them and if so where can they be found?

Restoration / 67-68 Bumper guard inserts

« on: May 27, 2009, 12:11:35 AM »

A guy I noticed on ebay is selling a set of inserts for rear bumper guards, yes they are OEM GM stock, at least in the pictures. Are these things really going for this kind of money or if you shop it around will some more come up for cheaper. Is there a lot of GM stock available on these rubber pieces. I have seen them as reproduced items but have never seen the quality. Mine are 43 years and showing signs of age. If the quality is good on the cheaper repros, please advise. The OEM NOS ones are a lot of money for 2 1/2 cents of molded rubber.

Decoding/Numbers / Space between groups ???/// 67 Cowl Tag

« on: May 15, 2009, 01:04:10 AM »

Looking at a 67 cowl tag with a lot of options, After the "E" in the first group and then the options begin to appear in the second group, and here they are   2EMGRS3DLS     and down a line to 4F 5YB. The question, should there be a space after the "S" option on group "2" and between the #3 group of options. More so, should it read like this 2EMGRS 3DLS, or do these things just leave the factory like this. Seems to me also that the groupings would be in alphabet order. The thinking is should'nt line #2 be 2EGMRS and line # 5 be 5BY, just something to consider!

Restoration / A/C Heater blower fan switch

« on: May 12, 2009, 04:43:43 PM »

Tried finding one of these years ago and the local GM dealer could not get me one. I have not been able to get one anywhere else either. The old one still works but it comes on and off periodically, it appears to be melted down inside and makes contact at some point and triggers the blower fan on and off. Have seen in the "Resto" catalogs the switch for non A/C cars but have not seen one for A/C equipped cars. Need Direction!    Thanks

Restoration / Restore, replace, add to ????

« on: May 06, 2009, 02:21:16 AM »

Hello to introduce myself, Genminmar, new to CRG, my first post. This I am sure has been covered before.   I own a 67RS YY and have had it since I conned the lady out of it at the grocery store back in 1975. I have learned a lot since the internet and all the books about restoration that have been available since back then. My car is pristine, never restored, although on the second paint job. Question? Would like to replace the cowl tag with two characters that were not included when the vehicle left assembly. Should I have a reproduction made or is there a service company that can impress onto my existing tag the two characters that I need. The characters are in the #4 and #5 positions of the options that were to have been fitted and listed at the factory. Also noted,  the tag says it came with power windows but they aint none on it. From what I know, if the parts bin was empty, they did not stop the assembly line and it went to the dealer without the ordrered option. As to what is not there , there are options on the car and they are not listed in the appropiate placement on the cowl tag, there is space there for the characters and I would like to have them included. What do you smart fellars think.
