Restoration / '67 Gold Deluxe Front Door Panels
« on: September 17, 2020, 12:15:11 PM »
I had quite a bit of cracking in the door panels when I pulled this out of the barn awhile back. I purchase the deluxe interior kit but did not get around to installing the interior for some time. I now have it all in with the exception of the front doors. When I pulled the door panels they were a brighter gold. Thoughts? Kick panels, steering wheel and seat hinge covers are sprayed with OEM paint. In looking on line I am finding both the brighter color lot and ones that seem to match exactly. These were in the same kit. Could door panels be brighter that back panels? Tks.

Restoration / Door Lock Clips
« on: April 17, 2020, 12:03:34 PM »
All, I needed to replace my door locks and in transferring over the pawl I broke the little clip that holds the pawl to the cylinder. Any idea where I can get replacement ones? I can't seem to find a way to purchase these without buying an entirely lock set that has them included. Thanks.

Restoration / Heater hose connector
« on: September 02, 2019, 01:16:09 PM »
All, looking for how to connect the heater hoses to the inner fender. I have the small metal clip but don't see how that connects to the square hole in the fender well. Is there another clip I am missing? Tks!

Mild Modifications / Shifter Modification
« on: February 06, 2019, 03:05:45 AM »
All,

I am looking to find the best shifter to upgrade to. Looking at a B&M Quicksilver or Mega shifter. I have a '67 console. Looks like I will have to modify a shift plate no matter what I do. Any recommendations as to the best shifter to start with?

Restoration / 1967 Pinstripes
« on: April 06, 2018, 08:25:03 PM »
Hey all, I have read through some threads about the double pinstripes across the top of the fenders, doors and quarters. I do have an RS/SS car. Pinstripes would have come on this car correct? Also, where is the best place to purchase the pinstripes? Tks!

All,
Where can I get a good set of clips for my vinyl top? The clips that came with the trim were plastic and the trim isn't snapping tight for a couple of clips. Thanks!

Restoration / Under hood color
« on: June 28, 2017, 09:12:49 PM »
All,

Finally read to go to paint.

Is the under side of the hood body color or black? I had always thought body color but someone recently told me otherwise. Just want to make sure.

Thanks!

Restoration / 67 Camaro Rear Seat - RS

All,

I need to replace my rear seat, 67 Camaro RS. My dad found one out of a 68 Firebird that is in pretty solid shape. Will it interchange both in fit as well as upholstery?

Thanks,
Matt

Restoration / Original versus New Sheet Metal
« on: May 10, 2014, 10:49:08 AM »
All,

I am looking for some thoughts on the lengths I should go to save the original sheet metal. I don't have a numbers matching car, but do have a correctly coded SS350 for what would have come with the car. I have all original sheet metal at the moment (but did pick up a new SS hood as the first one was really damaged badly). Both front fenders and the driver side door have a fair amout body work that would need to be done as with the front valance.

How much should I fight to save the original sheet metal versus just buying new? Where do folks recommend for quality/fit if I do go with new?

Thanks,
Matt

Restoration / '67 Roofrail Weather Strip Channels
« on: April 09, 2014, 10:29:08 AM »
All, what is the best adhesive product to install the roofrail weather strip channels above the windows? A wide flat foam type strip is what came off of it originally.

Thoughts?
Thanks.

Restoration / '67 Camaro Disc Brake Hardware
« on: December 05, 2013, 02:32:15 PM »
Folks,

I am looking for the correct brackets to use for the union between the brake hoses at the calipers and break lines for the front disc brakes affixed to the sub-frame. I am seeing different ones for drum than disc but frequently find that the companies lump in the '67 with the '68 when they don't know exactly what '67 requires.

Thoughts?
Matt

Restoration / Firewall Restoration
« on: October 16, 2013, 07:32:23 PM »
All,

Recently had my body blasted then laid a coat of the epoxy primer over it. I am ready to shoot the firewall and was wondering if there is any straight forward way of sanding it to receive the paint. Any kind of orbital or vibration sander appears impossible to use. Sanding by hand seems to run the risk of creating an uneven surface prior to paint.

Might be over thinking this. Is hand sanding sufficient? There is some peel with this primer and the primer is not forgiving. It is going to take some work.

Thanks,
Matt
