General Discussion / hardware question

« on: January 08, 2012, 12:30:40 AM »

Is there any "rule of thumb" to follow when buying hardware especially the more or less invisible kind? The first things I find I need are the 3892755 speednuts that hold the forward rear spring mounts in place. For something like that I wouldnt want to reuse original and care more for a quality product then a dead on original part.

I came up with some brake parts while rooting through my stuff. 5463565L & 5463566R brake backing plates and a 5460348 brake master cylinder and Delco Moraine power booster. Where would I look to see what these came off of? They look like someone reconditioned them. I am thinking they have to be Chevelle or A body parts.

thanks

General Discussion / anatomy of a basket case

In a post before I was asked about pictures and as I dig up stuff I will post some. My car has sat where it is since 1984. It is apart and has been a home for cats, mice and cardboard boxes of whatever. I was rooting through stuff today and thought about it and snapped some.

General Discussion / interior question

« on: December 14, 2011, 03:43:43 AM »

A couple of decades ago I picked up a white deluxe interior at a yard sale. It was complete minus headliner and dashpad. I want to use some pieces from this interior when I put my car back together but I would like to know a little more about it. The back seat upper is hinged. I didnt notice any type of retaining mechanism on it to keep it upright. The places this seat back would need to bolt to do not exist in my car though the lower fits. Also the front window pillar covers are chrome. I am curious where this interior was originally applied on or what pieces to look for clues. Its been suggested to me that it came from a Firebird and it thats the case I would like to know that also.

thanks

General Discussion / looking for a little information

« on: December 11, 2011, 05:07:18 PM »

I am at the point of trying to get my head back in to this Camaro that has been sitting in my garage since 1984. It is VIN 124377N126027. I may have listed it here at some point in the past. I have a tendency to look past the Camaro and fool around with Harleys. It is part of my youth and my sons have been suggesting that I put it back together before I die on them. If the VIN is listed here so be it, if not and you want the rest of the data off it I will oblige. When together it is a Deepwater Blue 1967 SS/RS. I have had it since January of 1969 but after 74 it has spent its life in a barn before I brought it home. Though low in milage its not a peach. I have most of the necessary items to keep it numbers correct should I choose to do so. I am glad to see a site like this still existing after over a decade and will most likely lurk my way through it grabbing information where I need it.

thanks
