Restoration / Re: Show chrome plating Legends Judging
« on: March 21, 2024, 04:45:34 PM »
I don't think anything has ever been deducted for show chrome. Have seen deductions for scratches, rub marks, and fit. Nothing for being too shiny. Deductions are made for stainless fuel / brake lines. Legends Manual also doesn't say anything about deducting for show chrome. Would like to learn the source for this

Originality / Re: 1967 caliper hardware finishes
« on: February 24, 2024, 09:41:39 PM »
This is from the 1967/1968 Camaro Legends Judging Manual. Did not copy photos but the photos are in the Manual

Calipers are painted semi-gloss black.  All machined surfaces on the calipers will be unpainted natural metal. The calipers for 1967 and 1968 are a 4 piston design and carry a casting number of 5455533 on the outer half and 5455530 on the inner half.  There are two different brake line sizes found on the calipers. It is believed that the early 1967 used a 3/8 inch hex flare nut on the caliper for both right and left. The later 1967 and all 1968 used the 7/16 inch hex flare nut on the left side caliper and a ½ inch hex flare nut on the right side caliper. All of the mentioned lines use a 3/8 inch hex flare nut for the hose end of the spring wound steel line that connects the two together. The caliper is mounted using two 7/16 inch coarse thread black finish hex head bolts and lock washers. With the upper bolt retaining the semi-gloss black painted special bracket to secure the hose using a black “U” clip. The bleeder valve is silver zinc/cad plated and does not use any type of cap. The caliper brackets are yellow cad/zinc plated and numbered 3913798R and 3913797L.

No - Only 1968 cars had the sheathing. Kurt is right that it was also used in 1969 for cars with a rear speaker. I do not know if second gen cars also received this sheathing for the rear speaker. Also, do not know about other Chevy or GM models that might be a source

Dr. Sloan's Z28 and the 2 69 Camaros at MCACN were in the Legends judging program. The contact for the 1000 point Bow Tie class at the Nationals would be Karl Scheffy.   email bowtie@camaronationals.org

I have used the SEM textured on my dash. Should experiment first. Texture comes out finer or more coarse depending on how far away you spray.

As far as I know the code for the Regalite convertible tops that were used was Month, Model, Year.  For Camaros and Firebirds, H is the Model code. 3 H 9 = March, Camaro, 1969
